ok so rn i dont have atimer so 18/6 ,,, no no lol either i get them to sprout on 24/0 then i switch to 12/12 right away ( im doing a mini plant so dont tell me i need to veg idc ) soo what should i do which is faster
If its an autoflower 24/0 is fine, but you can drop it to 18/6 if you want to cut on energy costs. If its a nonauto and you want to veg: use 18/6. If you want to force flower from seed go for 12/12.
I run 24/7 for auto, seeds and veggers, 12/12 for flowering girls. 18/6 is fine for vegging and autos too though, more light=tighter bigger growth, more darkness will equally more stretch
