quick question about autoflowers

**kingibi123** · 27-10-17, 06:05 PM

hi guys, i have a quick question, currently im growing 2x royal dwarf and 1x sour hound auto, at the moment i have them on 24 hours of light a day, is it possible for me to switch it to 18 hours of light and 6 hours of darkness to save on electricity ?

Yes, but I wouldn't go any lower on the number of hours of light. 18/6 20/4 22/2 all very popular light schedules for auto

Yes there's no problem with that. But there's a chance of reduced yield with less light. You'll need to keep the room temperature up during those 6 hours of darkness too. Why not go 20/4

yeh i went 20/4, thanks for the help guys

nevermind i might jus keep it at 24/0 lol i dont wanna mess up the temps n that

I go 24/0 with autos in my veg tent just because I ain't got a heater in there and it keeps temps stable but if I have a choice I have them in my flower tent and on a 20/4 schedule, you can pick up a little heater up for about £20 😆

22-28°C lights on 18-22°C lights off (if you give em a dark period).

cool beans, im reading 31c but my yoke is sat ontop of the lamp, it averages about 28c soil level and a bit lower under the pots and again a tad higher up at the top of the tent, as for night temps well above 20c, still waiting on my other two thermostats to get here, saves faffing about with moving the one around.

should mention Rh is up arount 75 to 85 %

Your rh needs to come down. Sounds like you need a bigger extraction tbf buddy
