No some growers think 24 hrs are going to make the plant grow the fastest. But most growers will tell you your plant needs a dark period just to rest and recover from working all day in the sunlight. I agree best and recommended light cycle for autos is 18/6 or 20/4. I prefer 18/6. You can save on electricity with 18/6 too.

LST/Defoliation Advice I bought some LST clips and used them on my plants. It's my first time doing LST so is this gonna do the job? Would Defoliation make sense? If yes which leaves do I take off?

To prune or not to prune?Hello guys. A beginner question here. Should I prune these "inner" branches or should I let them grow? They are getting a lot of light but I don't know if it's worth letting them bloom. If I have to cut them when would be the best time? I'll leave this question open until Friday.

Topping or LST after 1st topping Last week I topped this little baby, the plant now is growing ok. I noticed that not only the two top side branches are growing a lot, but that the ones on the node under it too. I would like to make the 4 grow and like that I don't have to top more, is it ok? How can I do it?

Switch to flowering I did defoliate on day 44, want to switch to flowering on day 49,is it too soon? Do you think is better to wait one week more and start 12/12 on day 56? I'm growing in a little DIY cabinet so I don't want to run out of space with flower stretching. How do you see my little girl?

Too late to defoliate?Should i try to defoliate these two auto girls a little more, or is it too late into flowering? If so, which leaves are safe to remove? They are approximately 45 days from sprout and have been speeding through their fases, so it's been hard to compare to others schedules

Defoliation during early flowering I wonder whether trimming the lower (big) leaves would be beneficial? Because they’re all shaded now but maybe they participate in the transpiration process at night?

She took a LONG time to get big enough to flip to flower. I grow in fabric pots and organic soil. I think I over watered in the beginning, but could I have also defoliated too much, too early? How do I know how much water and when? How much defoliation is too much?
