You can have 24 hours of light until the very end with autos. My gorilla glue autos grew huge and beautifully on a 18/6 schedule. I think anything more than 20/4, you're probably just wasting electricity. Plants like to sleep also.
Hi. Since it's an auto, until the end. Whether the electricity is really worth it, you have to decide for yourself. But your plants can handle it until the end. Best regards
Personally I feel as though even autos need some rest(lights off) time. Though I've ran autos 24 hours to success... I've had much better results running them 20/4 their whole life. But 2 make a long story short u can run autos 24 hours there whole life so there is no week u need to change that. If ur running photoperiod plants. 18 hours light all of veg. 12 hours for flowering.
