NCbudstarted grow question 2 years 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!

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.

Veg/Bloom switchMy plants are 5 weeks from germination, I have flowers and buds forming but I am starting to worry they aren't growing as they should (I want them bigger). I have had my light veg and bloom switches on throughout.
Would you recommend I change over to just bloom switch now?

When to turn the light on after sprouting?We have a sprout! Tropicana Banana sprouted between 10pm last night and noon today. Can I turn the light on now, and start the 18-6 schedule tonight or will it fuck it up if I turn the light back off at midnight tonight to begin the 18-6 schedule?

23 hours light per day?I’m running 4 autos in a 4x4 tent on 20 hours of light per day. I’m thinking about the possibility of changing the light hours to 23 hours a day and 1 dark hour. I’m currently on week 8/9, I’m expecting it to finish roughly 12/14 weeks from birth. Any thoughts on this growers?Setup. Lighting

New house - new light!Since I'm moving in a month or two I'm gonna buy a new light for vertical growing for celebration!
I'm still going to use the 80x80 but I'll have some space in a separate room, more comfy..
Which light is better for a vertical grow?
