Light schedule for autos on late flower
Should I increase dark period to 12 hrs (or more)? Is there any evidence this helps autos in the late flowering stage?

During this crucial switch between veg to flowering, plants are unhappy about the $2000 stim check. Must appease them, pls help
Switched to 12-12 and damn... that preflowering stretch is no joke. My 3x3 is overflowing with fan leaves. Humidity has gone up on its own since the switch, from ~20-30 to 50-70%. Idk why. Reading about flowering. Any pointers? Start adding flow nutes?Room up,maxed horizontal

Side lights ?
Would my plants benefit from these extra lights hanged to the side? Photos included of light and how they look. Above are two SF1000D lights. Curious if these will help the under growth or if it's just a waste? Thanks for any info anyone can share . Happy growing!

What next for these clones?
I have always mainlined or done some sort of LST with clones. This time I've let them grow out, but dunno what to do now. What should my next steps be to maximise the amount of bud I can pull off each plant? Do I leave the clone to grow wild (I have the space for it)?

Can I snip the end of leaves at 3 weeks?
Is it okay to snip the end of 3 week old leaves off? Reason I ask is because I have seen it done on a diary where the point of the leaves are snipped straight. Also one plant has suffered from light burn on the end edge so was thinking I could do it here if it will help growth.
