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.

Autoflower topping?... and if so, when is best?My friend is recommending that I top at the fifth node with the knowledge I'm growing autos.
However, many grower's here discourage it completely for autos.
What's the best practise? I've never topped so this may need spelling out for me.
Thanks in advance ✂️

Pistils? Steps from now on?Hey this is my first plant. Went all good till now. Not the growth i had wished for, but im happy.
Day 21 now i see pistils clearly. Isnt it a bit early for pistils, because the plant is relatively small.
How should i proceed? LST? Topping an option or is it too late?

Yellowing tipsHi,
I'm a newbie grower here. I have an autoflower that is nearly weeks old. I have started to notice some yellowing tips on the leaves. I have been feeding it some vitasol and pm13/14 as well as watering every two days. The growing medium is worm casing compost and perlite.
