Lighting

[Pick]

Hello everybody, my question is in regards to my lighting time with auto flower, my plant is now in early stage of buding, should I now switch to 12-12 or does not matter with an auto ??🙏

From my understanding you want to give autos 18 hours of light or more. I've never personally grown an auto, but that's what I've been seeing in all the posts.

Autos generally do not need the switch to 12-12.In a few rare instances sometimes you will need to give an auto 12-12 to kickstart flowering but then move the light schedule back to 18-6. You're already seeing signs of budding which means the auto is doing its thing.

Yes as I said very early stage of bud, my plant is WW,, planted on December 10. Has been on 18-6 thanks guys👍

Auto's are not my favorites but I've grown 6 of them so far. I turn the lights on 24 seed to finish. 18/6 might be better, save electricity.
