Change light schedule in flowering autos.

[george66]

Hi everyone,first time grower needing some advice.I currently have 3 misc autos in flower,one has been in flower for about 2 weeks and the other 2 are about 5 days behind.Tent is 5x3x5 and im using 400w hps.Where im growing im realy struggling with humidity when the lights are out so since the start ive had them on 22/2.I also have 2 medium size dehumidifiers inside the tent.Lights on RH is 56%,lights of its almost 70%.Now il come to my ? at last,sorry folks i do rant abit,Would it be ok for me to now keep the lights on 24/7 till the end of flowering to help keep RH down?Thanks people,any other advice would be much appreciated.

Autos will do just fine on 24/0 7 days a week. Some say give them a 24-48 hour dark period before harvest.

It's not a problem at all, they will do just fine with the lights on 24/7 from seed to harvest.

Thanks for the replies,maybe i wasnt very clear with my ?,sorry about that but i was more interested in wether changing the lights to 24/7 at this point in the plants life would have any negative effects on yield etc.Thanks again.

Hello george66 that's the beauty of autos the more light the better. It will be fine :bashful:

Most often you'll get more from longer hours, they are on their own timer.

Great answers from all above, more hours of light ,the better for autos, imo.
As for as humidity ,you need to have the humidifiers in your grow room, an not your tent, get the humidity right in your room first, then it will be alot easier to get your grow tents humidity right.
GoodLuck

Thanks again everyone,just to clarify i also have a dehumidifier in the grow room not just the tent.I also have a number of oscilating fans inside the tent alongside 2 4" extraction fans+carbon filters all of which are running 24/7 and a large oscilating pedestal fan in the grow room just to keep the air moving.

You must be having bad weather -raining in your area,
I don't know how big your dehumidifier are, but you still need to get the humidity right or close to it in your grow room first.
GoodLuck again.
