How do autoflower seeds work? Can I use a red spectrum bulb or do I need a dual spectrum? Which will give me the best yield
Thank you

Autoflower works by age of the plant rather than light periods. An autoflower starts to flower, usually, at about 18-24 days from germination regardless of light periods.
Yes you can use red spectrum CFL lighting all the way through the grow (I used to ) but a dual spectrum bulb should give better results across the whole grow
It's Not What You Know, It's What You Can Prove
Again m_c many thanks for your help! gonna get a dual spec! It's a shame none of the local grow shops supply duel spec, will have to opt for ebay
Cheers again bud
try amazon theres loads on there decent prices too
peace
I bought a dual-spec 200w CFL from Amazon costing me only £29.99 cant go wrong.

Ideally you want 6500k(blue) for veg .Then after your plants vegetation stage stretch stops ( around day 30-35 ) you want to switch to 2700k(red) for flowering stage, and of course adjust nutrients accordingly..but I have grown with dual specs with nice results..stay cool Boogie

Ive had an afghan auto under a 600w hps from seed, started flowering at day 17 crazy growth it looks different everyday. Id go with a 300w dual spec if its just one or two plants if you dont want to go HPS.
