    Default How to speed up Autos

    Hey guys Im on week 9 of an apparent 9 week strain called Tangie matic ( 12 weeks I think realistically), Im currently on 18/6 light schedule , IF i bump it up to 24 hours of light will this help the buds fatten up more and get more growth out of the next few weeks?

    I do autos at 24/0 from start and never go lower than 20/4

    Thanks man, Switched to 24 hours now, Do you think it would be ok to let them go for an extra 2 weeks? packet says 9 weeks but they definitely aren't ready as they are 9.5 weeks now, i'm thinking they probably need 12-13 weeks but I want to leave the chop until week 14 - Do you think this would be ok?

    Most people run over the recommended time given.if your relatively new to growing and your groom environment is not spot on all the time then I’d say defo run a few weeks longer but check the trichs because you can push them but when they are done they are done.good luck buddy

    Tangie matic are quoted as 9 weeks flowering. Add in the veg time & 12/13 weeks is a more realistic time

    Do you add the veg onto it? On the breeders website it reads like its 9 weeks from germination to harvest, are they just being very optimistic with this figure?

    12-14 weeks for an auto is ridiculous haha I could have just done a normal 8 week photo plant and given her a 5 week veg haha I would of had monsters in comparison lol ah well you live and learn, Thanks buddy
