Sup Adam! Your gurrlll is looking pretty healthy! In terms of effecting the health of the plant, switching from 24/0 to 20/4 will NOT have any adverse effects. In fact, you can even get away with switching to 12/12 because most auto flowers begin the flowering phase roughly a week after sprouting and getting their first nodes... Now here's my recommendation... Change your photoperiod to 20/4 to save energy, $$$, and to keep your temps low and easily manageable. Also if you have your light running 24/7 you run the risk of popping a bulb. Never used higher wattage CFLs so I'm not sure how likely this is. After you see signs of first flower, switch to 12/12. There's no reason not too, and giving them a longer photoperiod won't make any difference. As far as "how much am I gonna get from this harvest?" I believe that is one of the hardest questions to answer that any grower can ask. Let me attempt it... Judging by looks, you have an indica or a hybrid indica dominant. If it only grows to 1.5ft. Best case you can get 9-14 grams, worst case you can get 5-8 grams If it only grows 2.5ft. Best case you can get 24-oz+more possibly, worst case 15-20grams. Hope that helps! Good luck dawgie.

This is wrong. You want to run autos on 20/4 for pretty much the entirety of their lives. A friend of mine grows exclusively autos, so I know for a fact that auto-flowering strains DO NOT LIKE 12/12 light cycle. 24/0 is fine, 20/4 is fine, and 18/6 is fine. Never less day time for your plant than 18/6. 20/4, from what I've been told and read, produce the best yield. As far as yields go, it varies on strain.
My bad, you're right ma dood ^ forget what I said earlier lol Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
24/0 gives you the most growth so when anyone is using low powered lights I always recommend 24/0. That looks good for 16 days. Will you be potting up to a bigger size? I would within the next week. As long as you get it in to a larger pot (about 10, maybe 15 litres) you should be looking at about 2.5oz - 3oz with a 300w CFL
Yeah I acknowledged that I gave faulty advice, my bad buddy...second time I apologized Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
