greetings tokers and growers. so i started a new grow with 1 Blackberry auto, 1 N.lights auto and a Crticial + 2.0 as you may understand this is a quick run, should have had 3 autos but lost one seed so decided to germinate my Critial+ instead, as it should be done flowering in 55 days and doesnt need more than a month of vegging.. Now im confronting a little problem as its either I give my autos 12/12 as soon as i want to flower my critical or i find a dark place for critical. I really want to know if anyone has done a side by side comparison for a 12/12 and 20/4 on autos, or just to know if and by how much will my yields suffer? give or take first month is going to be 18/6.

Autos already have a set life span to veg and flower so cutting there light intake by over a third will cut your yield a lot mate. I tried pushing my last northern lights like that 3/4 the grow but it had the opposite effect on them and completely slowed them down I wouldn't recommend it dude Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
How big are the plants could you not train lst the critical while you let the autos flower then flick to 12/12 Sent from my Redmi 3 using Grasscity Forum mobile app
From what I've read i wouldn't give my autos less than 18 hours light. I've never done a side by side comparison. I'd be interested to find out your results with a 12/12 Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
for now i'd rather find a dark place for the critical as i have 2 autos and only 1 photoperiodic, hence i go by the idea that two automatics would yield more than just one PP plant.. maybe am wrong Sent from my Redmi Note 4 using Tapatalk
autos on average yield much less than photos. A properly vegged photo will run circles around a auto in terms of yield. If you switch to 12/12 for your autos your yield will absolutely suffer. By how much no one can say. I run my autos 24/7 with some good yeilds
yes pal. this is my first time with autos and i am amazed by the size it reached after the stretch. looks like a promising 4oz and im thinking if this is what i get in 70-90 days of grow, thats well above my expectations. never thought i could get more than 2.5 - 3oz from a single auto... with photoperiods i do 0.7-1 grams per watt... so maybe autos arent that bad?
