Auto's on 12/12 from seed
Microgrow2020started grow question 2 years ago
My electric bill is stupid. I'm concidering going through the stock of auto seeds I have on 12/12 cycle. I'm expecting a longer flowering cycle.
What are your experience and opinions?

This is why I grow Photos. 12/12 for flower uses much less power. And I still end up with more bud than most Auto growers.
I guess your options are a smaller light and less yields or switch to photos and try to get more yield than your getting now and hope the 12/12 in flower makes the power bill cheaper enough to all work out in the end. If you can get more yield with 12/12 with photos, using cheaper but still good seeds, at least the cost per gram of weed will be a bit lower than now.

Hmmmmm.
For what you'll save in hrs with a 12/12 you'll lose in quality/quantity and time grown.
As autos work on a photosynthesis..
18-20hrs is recommended for a reason .
Nothing is stopping you from running 3 on 3 off its an auto. But all you're doing. Is stalling the photosynthesis and in the time she should be making bud with her limited lives mass out-put regardless of time. She'll defo lose out from a traditional grow

yea you can do it.
yields will suffer if your not hitting the same DLI as 18/6 on 12/12, larfy buds less dense and smaller overall.
Better option might be to grow outdoors and keep it stealth like by pinning plants down or in between tomatoes and stuff.
Good Luck!

The FLIPGetting ready for the good ol’e flip. What do most do you guys do for the light schedule?
Is it better say (on/off) 12am/12pm, or 6am/6pm.
Worried about daytime activities in that room.
My schedule will accommodate just about anything, so what are you thoughts?

First grow tips and strains pls?Looking at starting my first grow, I have a 120x120x200cm tent, and a 1000w LED light. What auto strains would you recommend for a complete beginner? Any tips in general would be great too. I'm hoping to have 8 plants, but generally quality is more important to me than quantity.Setup. Strain - Autoflowering

Should I Scrog? Confused!My garden seems healthy despite me. Guys I'm confused as to what I should do. Plans are to ScrOG at 18" (which I have never done) with a screen that is 3' x 4'. This screen would cover the entire container area plus about 4" over around the edges. Should ScrOG or just let grow?
