    i think about 6500k in start
    and then after 2-3 weeks switch it to 2700k

    with light cycle 20/4
    it's ok?

    Sure that works or you could just put all of them in there just cuz any more light would be better right?

    Use all the lights.

    20/4 works well for most auto strains but 24/0 is good and avoids light leaks :smoke:

    I would stay with 20/4 because sometimes auto flowers do weird shit when run 24 straight. Not always, I had some do what they should under 24, but I suspect that constant light causes some of them to get all ruderalis and just produce a lot of stem and hardly any buds or leaves.

    12/12 doesn't work well for suto strains, they take the sametime to flower with less yeild, I've had auto strains on 12/12 with the flowering ladies in the tent and yeild is down. I wouldn't run less than 18/6 :smoke:
