24/7 costs electric and don't produce more or better.
12/12 will produce not much bud that's like smoking seaweed
I had a moment to deny the chance,but a short right answer is always a good start for someone else to blah war and peace and Bible together length answer to stretch facts out and make it look like it was me not Google that answered in conjunction,toss a few nutes and deficiency words in here and there and boom,I'm an expert answer hijacker,call John mcclane

I use 18/6 for my tent autos in the summer... to do more is counter-productive and more costly. In the WINTER, however, I run them 24/7 because I can't keep the heat up in the tent any other way. Autos will grow under pretty much any light you give them - even 12/12 but you won't get a great harvest from that... 18/6 is primo.
Good luck!

Most of my friends with autoflower experience say rock 18/6 right up through harvest in terms of lighting.
Autoflowers don't have much of a veg period and can be unpredictable, so a lot of growers like to let the genetics shine instead of training and possibly messing up the yield.
I hope his helps. Good luck.

18/6 is optimum and will give you the best "bang for your buck".
Cannabis can only grow so much during any one 24 hour period and this growth tops out at about the 18 hour mark, meaning running your lights any longer than 18 hours is basically a waste of electricity.
Cannabis also NEEDS sleep to finish its photosynthesis cycle and to have a properly functioning metabolism, so never grow at 24/0.

High,
18/6 is the most yield for your used wattages.
Happy growing! 😋

Depends. In winter to help keep my tent temps in range I run 20/4. When it's warmer I go 18/6. All the way through their life cycle. If I was on 20/4 and the grow went into spring and the ambient temperature rose I would knock it down to 18/6
