Hello everyone, I would like to get advice about auto flowers plants, it’s about 3 weeks and my plants started flowering, what is the best light schedule?
I used 18/6 hours light in a grow tent but now I’m not sure if to change it to 12/12??
I’ll be happy for advices I’m really confuse.
Thanks a lot guys!
They will grow just fine on either or. Some people like to switch them just to mimic more realistic conditions (and save 6 hours of power) but it isn’t necessary. I grew one on 18/6 all the way to harvest

More hours will get a little more flowering, but usually not enough to justify 6 more hours of light.
The Auto is just that. Consider it a locked in missile…it’s has it’s own schedule and if given: light, food, temp and tlc…it will make you proud. It’s a real fine feeling sitting back on a super cold nasty weather day…and putting on your favorite tunes, turning off the cell phone, and enjoying the “Fruits of YOUR LABORS”. Makes me giggle and grin…oh, wait. That might be the Fruit.

I’ve grown ILGM white widow autos at 20/4 and was pleased with the harvest. I would probably go 12/12 if I did autos again - I agree with @tanlower442 on the cost piece.

Thanks mate
Haha cheers mate I’ll change it to 12/12
I’ll try it next time 
I grew them on an 18/6 through the entire grow with no problems. I like to experiment so i mite change the sched the next time to see if there is a dif. Either way i think your fine with autos.
