Have autos in flower so should I just switch to 12&12 light or stay with 18&6
Stick with 18/6 for an auto. It will help ensure that the plant’s DLI requirements are met.
You don’t have to switch to 12/12 with autos, you can continue with 18/6 all the way. 12/12 would save you some electricity costs, just keep DLI in mind like mentioned above.
If your interested in DLI
Daily Light Interval (DLI) is a quick and efficient way to calculate how much light our plants are receiving within a 24hr period, allowing for easy light adjustments. DLI will help you and the community to better understand your lighting in a more universal term, leading to clearer communication of what the true light value is.
Almost all smartphones have the ability to use an app (we will get to this don’t jump the gun) in order to calculate DLI, and if that is not an option a cheap LUX meter…
