Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Morning irish420 welcome to the grow forum. Some like to run their autos lights on 24hrs., but it's fine and proven that running 18-6 works well. Someday if you choose to experiment running autos at different on off times as you become more confident in growing go for it. But this is your first run and i'd stick with the plan that's working. Just watch for heat and light changing plants leaf.
I would suggest looking at tutorials in GWE tutorials look at pictures of healthy and problem leaf. If you find curl or crispy could be heat and fans. Good luck irish420 you got a good start were here to help.
 
If my tent is open the exhaust fan is off. If it gets closed up the exhaust fan goes on and stays on (lowest setting). Since you're growing an autoflower, if you want to save a bit on electricity you can open the tent up and not use the exhaust fan (if that's reasonable for you, IDK your situation). For 1 sprouting seedling you really don't need much air exchange and movement for a while though honestly. Once it has put on several leaves and has some roots, it will be beneficial to give it a bit of a breeze to help reduce chances of mold, mildew, bugs and strengthen the plant.
 
Cheers for that,i was thinking of changing it to 20/4 as that what breeder said.Will read QWE again for more info
 
hello irish420,

from the way you've got it setup, you'll be grand like.
extractor fan does have to be on all the time.

my last white widow auto's i also ran an air movement fan all the time

Mars says (https://www.mars-hydro.com/mars-ts-1000-led-full-spectrum-hydroponic-led-grow-light) :
3.Recommended Hanging Distance Above Plants
Seedling: 24'' Germination: 24''-30'' Veg: 18''-24'' Flower: 12''-18''

RQS could have recommended light times on their site for that strain.

good growing!

cheers
