During my two auto grows indoors, I had them on 20/4 the whole way. I had a fine harvest. Some folks will recommend transitioning to 12/12 when then start to show their flowers around 28 days or so.

24 hrs of light first week to week and a half then 18/6 until i see pistols then 12/12 is what i run anyways.

the main reason some are recommending on 12/12 is because they say the added light doesnt improve outcome, so save some $$$

I ran my WWA at 18/6 for veg and 12/12 for flower and they came out fine.

Hi - I used flower power/ILGM ferts for my auto grows. I started with the full strength “start” right as it was a seedling. I ended up over-fertilizing and having incorrect pH, which caused all sorts of issue with my soil and my plant, especially in flowering. What I learned was that many auto’s don’t need a tremendous amount of ferts to grow.
What I do now in my non-auto grows is the first two weeks out of the ground, I use plain, Ph’d water (that’s all the seedling really needs at this point); then two weeks of start, then two weeks of grow, then I goto the bloom schedule. I only give 1/4 to 1/2 dosage depending on what my plants look like and what the runoff ppm is because I am in coco and I water every other day.
However, I am no longer growing autos and you only get about four weeks out of the ground before they start to flower. Others may chime in, but if you use a nice hot soil like fox farm ocean forest, you don’t need any nutes until you get to flower. This is what I have read, not what I have applied in practice though.
This is the flower power schedule.
