Autoflower lighting

[kingfish]

If you grow a auto flower plant under a 6 tube T5 until it start flowering. Do you continue growing under a T5 or do you change lights ?

I'm sure some folks flower with T-5s, but if it was me and I wanted some firm, dense nugs I would get a much stronger light at least a 400watt hps. Good Luck Kingfish,

Do you continue running the lights at 18 on 6 off ?

I'm growing 2 autos right now and they never see the dark. Lights on 24 hours a day. You will hear some folks say they need to rest a little like 20on4 off or 18-6 ,but I keep mine on 24-7. Good Luck

Just like D.A.A.S.69 said u could flower with the T5 but I would switch to something stronger like LED or hps with autos u could have lights on 24/7 me I do 20 on and 4 off

I'm with Little here - 20/4 - as well. Give the tent and plants a bit of dark time.

True true canuck147 I like for them to have some dark time , 24/7 is good for autoflowers but I like giving them a few HRs of dark time
