Switch 6 week old Autos to 18 on 6 off to maxamise yeild.

Beastmasterstarted grow question 5y ago

Hi bud buddies. I have 6 blue treacle autos that are 6 weeks old they have had a 12 12 light cycle so far, if I switch to 18 on 6 off now do you think I may get a better yeild overall?

Hi Definitely! Any time you can increase light hours over 12 is a good thing. Really you don't want to run your autos at 12 hours if you can avoid it.i personally stick between 18-20 hours of light. I always give some darkness though because I think living things need and enjoy rest. Typically more light usually equals more yield....or more dense buds. Happy growing. ✌️

POLLINATE NOW for mature seeds? Auto Plants in Week 6 My Auto plants at week 6 have formed pistils. I don't feel like they are quite mature enough to pollinate yet. I am basically at the halfway point of this grow. I don't want to miss the window to have fully mature seeds. Any pollination methods/advice?

Main stem snapped You can see in the pictures from day 34 that I snapped the main stem. Flowering started less than 2 weeks ago but I’m growing an auto. I applied some duct tape and waiting for results. The stemp hasn’t die off. Should I top though?
