Best lighting times

18/6 is optimal for photoperiods in veg and autos for their entire life. All cannabis plants NEED "sleep" for a correctly functioning metabolism. You will not gain anything special by growing at anything more than 18/6, except a larger electricity bill! Cannabis can only grow so much during any one twentyfour hour period and this growth tops out at around the 18 hour mark. This has beenm scientifically proven and is not bro/ghetto science. If you care about your plants, NEVER grow at 24/0, no matter what others may claim!

DLI the epic for autoflower 18/6 or 20/4 Seed: 250 to 400 PPFD Veg: 400 to 600 PPFD Flower 600 to 900 PPFD 900+ need more add Co2 2 week seed - 3 week veg - 6-8-10 week flower (9-10) u need prof know what u do.) but pre-flowering comming about 4 week DLI start 12-14 and incressed to in the yield.

For Autos from Seed in soil to harvest 18/6 300w lumatek and floor 2 caluma 18w stripes.

Witam. Ja swoje rośliny trzymam 18/6 moim zdaniem rośliny powinny odpocząć po ciężkim dniu. Pozdrawiam

Big topics about this on many sites and a nice thread on one web page autoflower.org https://www.autoflower.org/threads/whats-the-best-lighting-cycle-for-autos-24-0-20-4-or-18-6.3691/ https://www.rollitup.org/t/24-vs-18-6-vs-20-4.548161/ https://www.reddit.com/r/Autoflowers/comments/s3447z/running_lights_24hours_vs_186_204_im_doing_24/ Lots of conflicting opinions in these links. I am a firm believer of everything living needs rest and down time. This should be taken with a grain of salt as its not official in anyway. no oversight to confirm people told the truth and was based on user input. I like to give mine 18/6 as I feel the extra rest is beneficial and saves on hydro. As long as your hitting the DLI in the allocated "on" time its good. I think Autos don't even need a full 40DLI either they can do lower amounts, but fact check that one. Good Luck!

They can but I wouldn't advise that. With autoflowers I run 20/4 in the colder months and 18/6 in the warmer months. Plants need a dark period to rest.

20 on 4 off most people do though i would personally do 18-6 but yes you can use 24 hr light with autos though people say that letting the plants sleep will increase the speed of the growth though im not an auto grower so I'm not sure on this best of luck buddy :)
