switching too 12/12 with auto's in the tent!

Si cambias a 12/12 tus otras automaticas van a perder horas de luz, por lo tanto perderás productividad. Si en tu país es otoño o invierno la sacaría al exterior. Feliz navidad y prospero año

If you got the space to manage it, I'd remove the one not flowering and train out the other two to fill in the gap in your canopy. The one that's a photo needs some attention and switching to flower now isn't gonna help it, it might actually make it worse. You can keep photoperiods in veg indefinitely. I grow huge mother plants under cheap twenty five dollar LED shoplights in the corner of my basement lol. Get it healthy, prune it back if you need to, train it out more horizontal. Load it back in your tent when it's healthy again and your autos finish up.

Autos will be fine if you provide good light intensity. If i was you, i would sort her out first, then would think about flipping. She is sick. Fact.

P.S. and then you can let the photo "grow" into the light which should align with the light adjustments she needs over the weeks. If it works perfectly you dont have to move anything, otherwise you can adjust the height again

You wont get smaller yields... DLI=daily light integral= PPFD/(2*dailyhours), its not the exact forumla but works for practice Everything that matters is the DLI, no matter if it take 12 or 18 hours to get it. 12 hours sleep phase will definetly support them better than 6 hours sleep, IF you can deliver an DLI of around 40. So the yield can possibly even be bigger, if you manage things right. The only thing different is that autos can deal with a constant DLI of 45, while photos need more and more with time, would be optimal if your autos are higher or you can place them a bit higher for the correct light

So long as they are getting the appropriate DLI they will do fine.

I had the exact opposite happen, I ended up with an Auto in my photoperiods lol. They can grow side by side on 12/12 just fine. According to your diary, you're on week 3 of flower with the Autos so most of the vegatative phase is done. I feel better about giving Autos reduced light after they start flowering. Reduced temp in flower is good whether it be Photoperiods or Autos and more dark means lower temps so there's some benefits to a shorter light interval. You can move the light closer or increase the light intensity/ppfd to help bring up the DLI, this will compensate some for the reduced hours of light. If you do so, just watch for signs of light stress. Those Autos should produce still even at 12/12, as long as you do your part. The photoperiod should produce even more then the Autos.

Yes, it is okay to give autoflowers a 12/12 light schedule. However, it is important to understand that this will result in smaller yields and less vigorous growth compared to longer light cycles like 18/6 or 20/4. Here are some things to consider: * Smaller Yields: Autoflowers grown on a 12/12 light schedule will produce smaller yields compared to those grown on longer light cycles. This is because they will have less time to photosynthesize and produce energy for growth. * Less Vigorous Growth: Autoflowers grown on a 12/12 light schedule will also exhibit less vigorous growth. This is because they will have less energy to fuel their growth. * Potential Benefits: There are some potential benefits to growing autoflowers on a 12/12 light schedule. For example, it can be easier to manage heat in warm climates. Additionally, it can be helpful if you are growing autoflowers alongside photoperiod plants, as you can keep them all on the same light schedule. Overall, while it is possible to grow autoflowers on a 12/12 light schedule, it is generally not recommended. If you want to maximize your yields and growth, it is best to use a longer light cycle.

Hey there it could always just be a really big auto and take longer to flower. It won't hurt your other autos it might make them strech out a little towards the beginning of flower because the light isn't that strong but as you turn up light they should get a decent dli still Don't worry you can give them 12/12 and they will be fine Good luck

No, it won't hurt them, most people just keep their autos in 18/6 to get the most yield possible. If you want, you can lower the lights down closer to the plants to make up for the shorter day to keep the DLI you're looking for.

Hi, This situation is tricky. Autoflowering strains are designed to bloom regardless of the light cycle, but sometimes they can be finicky and react to changes in light. Stressing the Autoflowers: Even though they're autoflowering, a sudden change in light cycle can stress them out. Stress can make it harder for the plants to absorb nutrients. In extreme cases, stress can cause the plants to produce both male and female flowers-hermaphroditism. The plants might not produce as many flowers. Autoflowering strains are generally more forgiving than photoperiod strains, but it's always best to be cautious when making changes to their environment. Merry Christmas buddy.

Hallo, wenn die anderen schon in der Blüte sind, schadet es ihnen nicht, aber der Ertrag wird weniger als mit 18/6 oder 20/4, aber sterben wegen dem werden sie nicht. Ich habe auch ab und zu eine Photo unter meinen Autos und wenn diese kurz vor dem ende sind wechsel ich in 12/12 damit meine Photo in die blüte geht, wie du in meinem Profil sehen kannst habe ich gerade ein Run mit 4 Autos und ein Photo die ich 2 monate wachsen lasen werde bis meine Autos so gut wie Fertig sind und dan switche ich.
