    Default Unanswered: Autos under 12/12 to fill a flowering tent?

    So I have 3 photos that have recently gone over to flower . But there is loads of space in the tent.
    I'm thinking of putting a few autos in to fill the space but......

    I understand yield will be lower but is the returns from growing them under 12/12 going to be worth the time and cost of nutes? .
    Not looking for mega amounts just enough to top up the stash. .

    Will be grown under the invisiblesun ish265br +UVA and supplemented with far red and more UVA.
    Will supercharge the soil and feed with compost teas

    I would think so, I have grown A few Auto's outside under 12 12, and manage an 1 1/2 oz.

    Agh now that's fine by me. I'd be happy with an oz per plant just as a space filler . Cheers bro

    I grew autos under 12/12 for security reasons. They took ages. Chopped them at 16 weeks with cloudy trics, no amber.

    I've got 3 in my tent atm that's set to 12/12 and they're growing fine. Just hit pre-flower after 3 weeks, topped as well.

    Pepsi is the only reason it's on 12/12 and I needed a fast run to follow and stock my jars, I'd prefer to have them on 24/0 but I don't have space for a second tent yet -_-

    I believe the consensus of growing autoflowers on 12/12 is they take a lot longer to finish.

    If your looking to fill the space, just 12/12 from seed with normal photoperiod seeds, at least they will actually flower properly
