    So heres the situation.


    I have 2 auto's (already flowering, well 1 really, other is bout fucking dead, dont know why I keep her)

    1 el nino
    another south african kwazulu strain

    EL NINO is starting 12/12 already.
    something has come up tomorrow I wont get home til 4 hours or so after she needs to be in the light

    so for that day, el nino wont have but 8 hours of light.


    Whats better... 12/12 for all the plants for one day(I dont want my south african kwazulu flowering yet)? or 18/6 continued, and let el nino suffer for 4 hours of darkness until I get home?
     
  2. Eight hours of light for a day will have little to no effect on the auto. Go for it.

    even if its use to 18/6? k, might do that 12/12 then for the entire tent.

    was just a little scared of that cause lowlyfes auto strains shouldnt go 12/12 or it will "dramatically effect the yield".

    I know I'll only be doing this for a day but stil lfreaked me out.
     
  4. autos work great on 20/4 or 24/0. i would say go for 24/0 if ya can, then ya can always have a peek and they still flower. autos are good to you like this lol
     
  5. hey if there autos they dont need to be in 12/12 at all just 20/4 the whole cycle i believe but then again i havent grown any yet
     
  6. i ran mine for 24/0 for a few weeks ith cfls to make up for the fact it was cfls lol but now there under a 250 hps, there on 20/4 and loooook danky dank. i can not wait for harvest day to come cos 4-20 is going to be SICk
