    Default CFL PC grow w/AutoFlower - Best light cycle?

    Hi Guys, hope your all well

    Planning on growing 2 x Autoflower feminized plants in a PC grow box under a 125w Dual spec CFL bulb and was wondering what you would recommend for the best light cycle? 12/12, 18/6? and do I change the light cycle at all

    Much appreciated

    Anything 18hrs & above is fine, so 18/6, 20/4, 24/0 (or any of the in betweens. I have mine set at 21/3 - should have been 20/4 but f*cked it up & just left it

    for whatever its worth I put mine on 24/0 till the final 2-3 wks then I run 21-3. don't ask me why cause I don't really know but ive done over 15 autos like that and they all have been potent. but like M C says you can run what you want with autos.thats why I love growin autos.

    Does altering this or missing an hour or two have any significant affects on autos? (I under stand photo sensitive are different).

    Running mine 18/6 at the moment, not even a week old under 250w dual spec CFL

    You don't want to mess with the light cycle time too much. Are you talking about manual light switching?
