This is a big devil xxl grown in happy frog soil using fox farm nutrients 16/8 light cycle under led lights can’t for the life of me understand why the buds didn’t produce.
Need more details about your grow.....what temp and rh is the grow room? How much and how often did you feed? What light are you using and how far away is it?
First off the light that I’ve read up this strain grew best at the schedule that I have it on I do know enough that all autos do not need 24 hours of light.
Temp in the room stay about 78 degrees with around 40-42% humidity, the light I use is the mars ts1000 have two of them in a 4x4 tent this was about 12 inches off the top of the plant.
My guess would be your plant got locked out at some point in flower. Do you have a ph meter? Also a ppm meter helps make sure your plant is getting proper nutrients levels.also the last thing I notice is that it helps to add extra perlight to the happy frog although it is not necessary it helps prevent over watering.
I've had that happen to mine, pH got out of wack, I didn't realize. Then I think the roots started to rot, because it was locked out and not drinking much water anymore, and it was staying wet.
Nah, there’s no major difference from 18/6 - 24/0 mate. Running 24 benefits if you’re using it for VPD control. Other than that though, gives slightly tighter node spacing. Some say makes them finish faster but never heard anyone say it improves yield. And the auto in my profile pic was 19/5 so an hour less certainly wouldn’t have hurt her. Ive done a few autos on 12/12 in the bloom room too and they still do fine at that. Not as big but still get a couple oz each no worries sitting in the corners of the space. Doesn’t effect the quality that I’ve noticed. Just not as much of it.
My opinion is that you gave them too much of something, either fertilizer, light, or both. Autos might be more sensitive. Your lighting schedule isn't responsible for the poor health. I've tried 24-0, 20-4, and 18-6. 18-6 gives me the happiest plants. Also, autos need less food and light in mid-late flower, and are very susceptible to problems if given too much food/light then.
i guess i do auto incorrectly . giving them 24/7 there finish height is average of 4 foot tall . pulling average of 8 and for feeding i treat them the same as photo . if your doing good with 16/8 good for you. but why give plants a rest ? they do not require it losing 6 hours of light a day is only a loss of about 12 to 16 days of light for that plant during its entire life ! just think how much it could of grow during those 16 days of dark. i totally disagree with giving any plants even photo 18/6 in veg there is zero need . it does not save on the e bill it only prolongs the process of plants growing. everybody is entitled to there own opinion even when its wrong. Those plants pictured harvested jack shit from lack of light
Less than 1 in 5 auto growers who responded to a survey agree with your 24-0 lights. https://www.autoflower.net/forums/t...s-24-0-20-4-or-18-6.3691/page-42#post-1869783 Even 20-4 is too much light for my autos. They tell me that by looking unhappy.
we can pull up 500 different websites and ask 500 different growers to get different answers . its what works best for you . its what the seed breeder suggests . The Perfect Light Schedules For Autoflowering Cannabis - RQS Blog and i would never take advice from a small tent grower to serious with out researching the answers more before i followed .what will they know ? they done how many plants in there life ? those pictured plants are small from the lack of light . for the health i cant say ? might of been fed lightly last 2 weeks ?
I did better running 18/6 than I did 24/0. Actually I really didn't notice a difference Sent from my RCT6973MDN using Grasscity Forum mobile app
yes ! there used in situations where we can make it totally dark they might be set up in family rooms kitchens lol hey why not ?
I'm currently growing an auto plant that does seem to benefit from the rest of its 18/6 light cycle. Towards the last few hours of light, each day, its foliage would noticeably droop towards the top. I reckon this is because water can only travel so quickly up the plant, and the rate at which the top vegetation used it eventually outstripped its supply. By the next morning it was all perky again, despite not receiving any additional water to its roots overnight. Also might be worth mentioning that this plant is a bit unusual. Unlike most, which have a pair of fan leaves and bilateral symmetry at each node, this plant had threes (three cotyledons, three fan leaves, etc.) I'm not sure if the demands of that extra set of plant plumbing throughout the plant, pulling away resources that were needed higher up, contributed to this effect. I've since pared down a lot of the lower fan leaves, and that also seems to help. But in any case, it seemed like a practical firsthand example as to why it can be good to let even autoflowers get a few hours of rest.
