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.

Leaf-tips going droopy mode After my second to last watering the tips of all of the leaves started to droop a bit. I though it was connected to the night-cycle of my light, but it continues to worsen every day. However I only watered after the soil was dry too the touch? Is it really overwatering or else?

Amber and still many clear trichomes Approaching harvest time and im confused with still seeing a lot of clear trichomes. I identify already about 40%+ amber trichomes at the top of the main cola fading to 20% amber in the middle of it. Lower buds/colas have 20% amber. Am i just overreacting over nothing?
