Remind me again what you have your lights already at? Idk about going all the way down to 12/12 with autos. Is there no way for you to duct cool air in? Like runnin a duct from an window ac unit or just from the cold outside?
I would definitely try to do ducting first
Now as far as yield vs color go that's on you. What would you prefer? More purple or bigger plants? I like big plants but I'd be trying to make it turn purple. I love the way purp nugs taste

Yea I mean if they are doing good and the only thing is the purple then I would let them keep on. Plus I've heard some people who their plant didn't get any purple till a few days before harvest. I had a bubblegum that had a lil purp show up about 2-2.5 weeks from being finished

Yeahh theres still 15 days left and i think the foxtail is a genetic thing the oineapplekush doesnt seem to ve doing it.

How long from seed to harvest, and how tall? How much bud do you estimate? Like I said, no autoflowering experience, so you are teaching me something.

GDP does foxtail, genetically, from my experience. If you have a hot tent, though, you should make sure you control it. Heat-induced foxtailing leaves airy, larfy bud that won't get dense like it's supposed to, and you want to avoid that. It'll keep foxtailing to escape the heat, and then you'll have bud that doesn't finish properly, it'll keep making airy bud.

Aren't you using LEDs? And your plants are over a month old. I don't think--as long as you aren't like, 2-4" from the bud, that the LEDs will cause you trouble. You can raise it or lower it however you want, just keep two things in mind:

1. Your footprint you have for whatever plants you need to grow under each light. It has to cover whatever space in square feet you planned for each light to cover.

2. The more you raise your lights from the plants, the lower your PPFD drops with each inch or two. PPFD also changes the further down the plant you look. The top will gey optimal PPFD, and from the apex, the light the plant gets deteriorates as it reaches the ground.

As long as your light covers the plant and as long as you don't see bleaching, burning, or heat stress, you're where you need it to be. Don't let the plant grow into the light, of course, but from my experience with LED panels (up to 2x ViparSpectra V450s before my COBs) LEDs are less likely to cause thermal burns than HID and fluoros, and even after having my plant within 3" of my panel, I had no bleaching or heat/light stress issues.

Edit: I see you're using A51s. Can't tell if they're panels or COBs. If COBs, you probably should raise them. COBs are much more powerful and efficient than panels.

Can't stand the South. Nothing against the People, they're pretty hospitable and I like the slower pace now that I don't have to be keyed up all the time. What gets me is the heat and humidity. I did my Infantry OSUT in Georgia back in '09 (OSUT is boot camp/basic specialized for Riflemen and Mortarmen; some other MOS use the OSUT structure as well, but I was an 11B rather than 11C or some kind of POG.) I preferred the Winter to the Summer. Most people hate the 8 feet of snow and subzero temperatures that smash Fort Drum 9 months out of the year, but I thrive in that environment.

I was born in Houston in the summer. I was literally born into that heat and humidity haha. Doesn't bother me near as much as that damn "yankee devil dust" does

Haha. I hear you, brother. Most do not enjoy it. I'm just one of the few that do. You'd be surprised how many people in my old unit (2nd Battalion, 87th Infantry Regiment, 10th Mountain Division) both come from Texas and hate the snow and cold. One of my best friends is from Houston, I believe, and another who was my roommate in garrison was from Dallas/Fort Worth? We probably had a few more, but it's a lot to think about. I think you get it, though.
