Auto vs photoperiod lighting

Is there a way to know if a plant is an auto or photo? This seed was from a random bag so im not sure what it is. I have another plant that is an auto because i bought those seeds. So, should i just keep the light cycle 18/6 for the auto, or should i move to 12/12?

Hi! Follow along with the other plant, the autoflower you already have. If the random seed is an autoflower, it will start to bloom on its own, sometimes even from week 4 (if you have a fast bloomer 😉) Then you'll know. Definitely don't switch to 12/12, just wait and see. You will disturb your other plant. So hoping for an autoflower, I would say: crossed_fingers: Good luck with growing! 🌱

Most autos will start flowering between week 3-6 on a vegetave light cycle. If it hasn't by say week 6, think about changing to 12/12🌱👍

I would get auto close to done so fading and switch your light schedule then to flower the photoperiod. If growing together.

Easy answer: if it starts blooming at week 3 to 5 with 18/6 cycle, it is an auto. If not:change when you find it convenient to 12/12

You will know if it’s an auto by at least week five—- after that—- keep it around or flip it whenever. Patience will tell you what it is. Good luck ✌️🏻💚🌿

keep it on the 18-6 if it is an auto it should show anywhere between 5-6 weeks, if it is a photo period it will not show any pre flower. put the plant in the 12 12 if it does not show
