    Default Light cycle for auto flowering.

    Can autoflowering plants be kept on a 24/7 cycle from planting to harvest?

    Iv done mine on 24 and OK so far in seedling stage in DWC But you got to check the water every day as some plants at start roots were not as developed as others and lost one as water was to low. When i replant in tent they will go on 20/4 all autos 4 in DWC and two in those prickley planting pots cant remember what there called but first time try out. My DWC auto is near to harvesting now good result so far now as big or as bushy as feminized seeds but OK.

    My first time with autos, I planted seeds directly into 8 liter pots, I read that they were delicate and should avoid transplantin?

    Avoid transplanting if possible when it comes to autos.
    24/7 is great for autos,its how I have always run mine,more light=more growth which is what you want in the short life span.
    Auto's can be topped believe it or not,my untopped Gorilla Glue yielded 4.5oz dry,my topped auto Gorilla Glue yielded 9.5oz dry,you have to do it at 3 nodes though no sooner and no later it was my first attempt at topping an auto(I was always scared of reduced yields until I tried it on 1 plant recently)

    I still think that four hours a day in darkness not only helps the plant but also its true absorption of its beneficial nutrients .

    Adding molasses helps greatly to improve flavor and tight colon cluster.I still got to figure that one out but seems to work.

    A Win Win compilation you have pushed the circle to its limits at 20/4 a day.
    I have asked professionals growers and asked and its 20/4 to gain a true professional winner.
    With Cannabis its patience that's all to perfection.loved.

    Living and studying in San Fran in the early 80ts Where was my head.

    Guys and Girls I'm just a dreamer that dreams constantly.

    Is that wrong.
