Is there any advantage to changing the light cycle when growing auto flowers?

Sure, coose any lighthours between 18 and 24......
they are recommended to grow under at least 18 Hours of Light. some Growers let them run uner 24 hours
but in my opinion, everyone has toget a rest, plants too.
So keep on growing

Yes, electric bills. In the past, I had to decrease it to 18/6 to reduce the cost and it worked.No loss in yields.

I have never heard of a benefit of changing the light cycle mid grow if the plant is behaving like a normal auto. Changing to a 12/12 schedule is recommended if you have an auto that is not flowering so you grow it like a photoperiod plant.

What happens to my autos ? Too much fertilizer ? Nutrient block ?First week I tried the devil and fertilized my autos as little as possible, knowing it was useless... Big mistake.
After that I could see signs of too much fertilizer, i.e. pointed leaves and since then, slow growth with very small leaves. What has happened?

When to use wick systemI was hoping to wait until the end of this week to use the self watering bases since the plant looks old enough, and I don't want to over do it. Should I set it up after I too dress with recharge again, or will beginning of week 5 work?

DeformationHello friends, how are you?
I have a big question about one of my plants. Right after the appearance of the first two pairs of leaves, I noticed it's not doing very well. It's now 15 days old and seems to be starting to flower.

Feeding right after repotting (coco coir).After repotting an auto flowering plant I get runoff EC of 800, while feeding water has EC 1200.
I guess EC gets diluted (biggest part of coco coir is new).
Should I increase EC of the feeding water?
I see slower growth but it may as well be due to stress of repotting.Setup. Strain - Autoflowering

Force autos to flowerCan you force autos to flower switching to a 12/12 cycle? The canopy was even, but after 6 full weeks only one plant is in flower, I want the others to catch up so they can all be in the same level, I don't want more lateral grow, my tent is full.Week 5

What is that?Yesterday evening feed 0.5 litre EC 1400 pH 5.9. Runoff was EC 900 pH5.6
Increased light intensity to PPFD 600.
This morning larger upper leaves are in "praying" position, one leaf closer to bottom looks sick.
If it's a light burn, why not on upper leaves?

Northern Lights Auto, quite short and bushy, fan leaves shielding light - should I defoliate?First time grower with a quite short Northern Lights Auto in week 6. The fan leaves seem to shield a lot of light from the inner leaves, also touching ground. Should I trim the fan leaves? Or should I keep them, since it already seems stressed enough for it's short life…

Not an auto?Im growing 4 GSC autos from “gardenofgreen” it’s week 8/9 & 3/4 r in the 4th week of flower(looking nice too). The other 1 has yet to start, I had transplanted it 2 days later than the rest as a seedling & to a 2x larger pot. Is it just slow, or maybe a photoperiod seed snuck in?
