Started a new grow today. I will be doing auto flowers this time! Sour Diesel Haze by seedsman and AK-48 by Nirvana. Just dropped the seeds in the rapid roots today.
Medium: Hydro DWC, Clay pebbles / rapid root
Container / Pot: 2 gal with net top lids
Environment: Tent: 4ft x 2ft x 5ft carbon scrubber, air-cooled reflector, humidifier (veg stage), hygrometer, 2-valve air pump, 2 air stones with hoses, small clamp fan
Light: 250w MH and 250 HPS (flowering) possibly 18/6 schedule throughout
Nutrients: General Hydroponics Flora Trio using slightly modified version of the GWE hydroponic GE Flora Trio schedule for auto flower time schedule.
Supplements: Hydroguard, (possibly Botanicare Sweet: Raw)
I have been considering the light schedule...i know autos are not photoperiod dependant but lemme finish...I have heard and understand why you can keep the lights on 24/7 but have been thinking about what i have read about how possibly trichome development occurs during the night hours to act as a kind of uv barrier during the day and was thinking on keeping the plants on a 18/6 light schedule but wanted some input on what others have experienced. Should i go full tilt or give the babies some time to rest at night?
