Light schedule while flowering
gottagrowsometimeanswered grow question 2 years ago
Hey, you are doing an auto. Autos love more light and don't need a flowering switch as this switch is controlled by the ruderails. When coming off a 20hr light I'd recommend switching to either a 16-8 or even an 18-6. Or you can run the plant to harvest on 20hrs depends how much your plant likes the light and how high it's set and and it's height. Feel free 2 DM me 2 find out about the signs of when flowering starts or whatever
Good luck, happy growing.

There's no 'pro' to going to 12/12 for an auto, unless it's got very poor genetics and won't flower naturally.

Do not change light schedule on a autoflower. They prefer and need extra light for faster growth on short schedule.

Do not switch light schedule with autos, 18-6, 20-4, 24-0 whatever you choose until plant is harvested. Only reg/photo fem seeds need triggered to 12/12, if you flip an auto you’re literally just cutting down your yield. They want light all the time, i personally think the cost/increase in volume of 24/0 isn’t worth it and typically run 18/6 throughout.

Your running an auto which "auto"matically flips itself flower. Stay on 20h until harvest to get the best results.
Its only photoperiod plants that you flip to 12/12

Flushing with RO Water (EC 0,0) or tap water (EC 0,8)?Hi.
I think, it's 1,5-2 weeks before they are ready to harvest.
Tell me, if you see something else in the pics. :)
I want to flush them now every 2 days with only water.
I have the opportunity of RO Water (EC 0,0).
Should i use the RO water or normal tap water (EC 0,8)?

77 days old autoflower, up to this point is personal taste or still there ways to go?
I majorly see milky and a few ambers trichomes, correct?
Those white pistils are due to the foxtailing, so is not a good metric.

How do they work? I assumed that a 2 week timer that runs out would result in someone winning lol. Isn’t that why the timer is there or am I an idiot? I feel like it should be specified somewhere if not to prevent confusion for new ppl
