Day 50 from sprout on a Royal Runtz Auto - thinking I have a couple of weeks to go but I was wondering if I should adjust the lighting? I’ve been running the lights 24/7, would I see a greater yield if I switched them to 12/12?
Thanks in advance for the advice.
Smoke on!

No. Just leave as it is if you’ve made it this far successfully. Lowering lights on time would drop the total amount of energy and probably yield less if anything.

Welcome to the community, @Igrowweed Great place here.
I can’t offer much, I run my autos on 18/6 all the way through. Don’t know that changing you light schedule now would have much affect of yield this close to harvest. Nice looking lady, there.

Rest time is important and I’d run 18/6 next time but like @dbrn32 said, it may affect what you got going being you’ve gotten this far successfully. Id also keep on keeping on 24. You are close. Nice grow brotha!

These look good. But why waste all that extra energy. All my autos do great on a 16/8 They do like some rest. I can flower on a 12/12 and do great as well. If I have all autos. I just set at the 16 and let them grow. 
I wouldn’t drop to a 12/12 with their looks right now. But I think an 18/6 or 16/8 would do you some good.
Thanks, the company sent me autos instead of feminized so I always set my lights to 24/7 until I switch to 12/12 This is my first grow with autos and when they started to flower I was like “WTF”? Then I realized a mistake had been made 
My last Runtz grow yield was 1.2 pounds from one plant, this grow will probably be half that but certainly in less time and expense.

That is a good haul. I got 21 oz from a Jack Herrer auto from ILGM. I would like to try that one again and see if I got the same results
