Hey, sorry if this is an often asked question.... I tried searching but couldn't find a clear answer. Basically, I am growing a normal strain alongside an autoflower. In order to get the maximum yield from the auto, I do not want to switch 18/6 lighting while it flowers. Will the normal strain be fine vegging for a longer period while the auto flowers? I was hoping to switch the lights to 12/12 after the auto is harvested. The normal strain (Atomic Northern Lights) has been going for 5 weeks and looks very healthy (short, but very lush). I believe that is has been ready for the switch for at least a week already. The auto (Early Miss) should be done in about 3 weeks. I have limited space and resources, so I would prefer to not have 2 separate grows simultaneously. As always, thanks for any tips and advice you can give me.
you are ok. yes, you can leave a plant in veg indefinitely. Look up cloning, and more specifically MOTHER PLANTS. A mother plant is pretty much a plant that is kept in veg throughout its entire life and grown out to take clone clippings from. You'll be good...and is prolly a better idea than just switching to 12/12 already!
