I have never grown any auto's. but I have grown a few times.im using 2 105 watt cfl 6500k and I'm just at 4 weeks 18 on 6 off. And Loaded with pre flowers.
From what I've read, the light cycle doesn't have to change much for the plant to "auto" flower. 20-4, 18-6, 12-12 are all the times I've seen people grow auto with. Keep doin what your doin. Pistols everywhere is a good thing!
Lights just came on bout an hour ago give me a few mite be able to find out . Also thank ya for the reply .
I've done 3 autos run they are not disappointing at all, especially indoors They don't get very big which can be a good thing if limited space. Quality is just as good as photo just not as much yield. My first WW was in. Miracle grow it was OK. Once I grew in neutral medium and pH water wow some amazing stuff . They have quite a few stains that don't sink. Northern Lights from..ILGM barely sell at all. You have to stick your nose in it to even smell it. Big thing with autos, no transplants-start then in there final container. More than likely get transplant shock, or since the grow fast you can get root ball faster than you realize. Hope it helps
