Picked up some Lowlyfe Great White Shark and just wondering about lightning. Now Attitude Seeds says to keep the lights on for 24 hours for the entire time. It it suppose to automatically flower? It doesnt need to be 12/12 for flowering? Im a little confused at that lol
autoflowers are just that, automatic flowerers. they flower naturally based on their age rather than light schedule like other plants
Picked these up http://www.cannabis-seeds-bank.co.uk/lowlife-automatic-great-white-shark-new-stock-4845-p.asp This is the description to Ak-47 auto "Automatic AK47 flowers within 70-75 days from seed, reaches its optimal size if given enough light. The ideal light cycle is in fact of 20 hours of light and 4 of darkness during the whole life of the plant. Outdoors the best time is May-August, but it is possible to do multiple cycles up to November." The other descriptions say the same, 20/4 for the entire life.
There are a couple of schools of thought on light cycles. I have used 18/6 and 20/4 for autoflowering strains and didn't see any difference, Some say the plant doesn't need any rest and just go 24/7 since it will automatically go into flower. Its up to you, pretty much a personal preference. None of these choices will hurt the plant.
