I'm using 24/0 for my current auto grow. Always used 18/6 before but I wanted to see how much different it would be. .so far I'm pretty happy with the amount of growth I'm getting with 24/0.

Good luck with your autoflower grow. I have to say I actually prefer photos. I've been growing all photos up until a few months ago and I have to say I'm a little disappointed with them. The buds are good but I don't get the yields I'm looking for. Pretty sure I just haven't found a good groove with them yet because I see others do really good with autoflowers. Trying something brand new (for me) this time around and using coco for the first time. I think the autoflowers will do a lot better for me in coco than they did in soil. I am doing a side by side with coco vs soil and photos vs autos right now so it should be pretty interesting. I feel like coco, hydro, or outside is probably the best for autoflowers, just my opinion. My autoflowers are also under light at 24/0 and seem to be doing really good with it. Anyway, hope it goes well for you. Happy growing!

Thanks! I will use 5 gal fabrics too so may indeed pop another one.
Interesting on the droop / perk cycle. I too feel like some hours of dark will do them some good.

I am also on my second grow and am trying autos this time. If you have any more seeds, I recommend popping another. My 3 sour diesel autos are through the stretch and fit comfortably in my 2 x 4 cabinet. They are each in 5 gal fabric pots.
The veg time is short so they will not grow as big as your photos.
I have been using a 18/6 schedule. They get really droopy about 1-2 hrs before light out and are perky when I first see them the next morning about an hour from lights on. I tend to agree with those that think they need a daily break from the light. But like most things with this hobby it is a debatable issue.
Happy Growing!Last edited by RetiredGuy; 02-14-2021, 03:05 PM.

What do you recommend for light schedule on autos? I was think 18/6 but see posts of 20/4 and even 24/0

Autos are fun to grow. Still need some patience and a little extra care. You'll find that years are smaller with autos due to the sort veg time. Your space sounds pretty good for 2 autos. Good luck!

Grow #2: Trying Autos
Well, grow #1 with photos has me hooked for sure. I just put a Blue Dream and a Super Skunk Autos on paper towels.
I had 3 photos last time and opting for just 2 plants this go around. Tent is only 2x4 and want to see what a little more space will do.
Im also curious to see the difference in size / yield. The photos were fun but tried my patience at times!
