NCbudstarted grow question a year ago
Day 8 autoflowers; can I change from 24/0 to 18/6 now I'm going to be introducing a more intense light (from 250w cfl to gavita plasma) or am I best leaving 24/0?

Autoflowers are what's called phyto-neutral. Light cycles don't dictate anything for them. Most people run 18/6 because all living things need rest, it saves on electric, or both.
To answer your question, yes, you can most definitely switch the light cycle. You may even notice that your plant looks happier once it's getting some rest each day.
Happy growing!
Robertsanswered grow question a year ago
Yes you can switch at any time. It will just control how fast, and much it grows. Bigger light does not make a difference in vegging. Less light is generally better to promote growth. So all your doing is reducing how much grow time vs rest time you are providing. Good luck

Yeah you can go to 18 /6 lots of people do that right out of seed i 3ent 24 to week 4 or 5 then switched but they claim you can do that out of the gate you wont want to get to 12 and 12 though autos perform well at 18 and 6

From what I understand, autoflowers are not light-dependent, so you can adjust from 24/0, or 18/6, or 12/12 if you wanted. I believe people keep lights on longer to stretch out as much time as possible to allow for vegetative growth because autoflowers will flip on their own quite early. Hope this helps. Good luck.

When to use wick systemI was hoping to wait until the end of this week to use the self watering bases since the plant looks old enough, and I don't want to over do it. Should I set it up after I too dress with recharge again, or will beginning of week 5 work?

DeformationHello friends, how are you?
I have a big question about one of my plants. Right after the appearance of the first two pairs of leaves, I noticed it's not doing very well. It's now 15 days old and seems to be starting to flower.

Lighting cycle for VEG stage. Is 24x7 OK?Hi,
Should I use the VEG lights 24x7 from the time I plant my seed until it's ready to bloom, or would something like 18 hours on and 6 hours off make more sense? Is there a "best practice" for veg lighting? It has worked for my first 3 grows. VIPARSPECTRA 600W LED
Thanks,

Bad idea?Will a mars hydro TS1000 be too strong for a 60x60x140cm tent?
I have been using a TS600 and TS1000 in tandem in a tent 4x too big for the light level, I have been growing strong and tasty buds but with low yields so downsizing my tent size to maximise the light.Other. General questions

What happens to my autos ? Too much fertilizer ? Nutrient block ?First week I tried the devil and fertilized my autos as little as possible, knowing it was useless... Big mistake.
After that I could see signs of too much fertilizer, i.e. pointed leaves and since then, slow growth with very small leaves. What has happened?

Northern Lights Auto, quite short and bushy, fan leaves shielding light - should I defoliate?First time grower with a quite short Northern Lights Auto in week 6. The fan leaves seem to shield a lot of light from the inner leaves, also touching ground. Should I trim the fan leaves? Or should I keep them, since it already seems stressed enough for it's short life…
