Do u have any experience with the 24/0 or 20/4 compared to 18/6?
I have a bit of experimentation with it but not enough personally just seen a couple buds of mine run like that for awhile now. it’s more of preference I guess they both do well but IMO my plants look stockier. Take note that we do run same nute lights clones and tents;) just different environments. Also seen faster roots during cloning 18/6 had one of my friends to finally make the change since he was having problems this last dome cycle. Also could of been that he had his lights too close he finallly got roots though.

Autos do not grow any faster than photo plants grow that’s a myth
Yes they do. Don’t get me wrong there are strains of photos that grow just as fast as autos and there are autos that CAN take as long as photos to flower fully. It’s all due to genetics and grower skill. Autos are generally known to be faster, why else would they breed strains for faster harvest and call them autos? Make it make sense.

They do not grow faster an auto vegs it self for about 3-4 weeks then starts to flower, most strains take 70 days to flower, the only difference is autos dont need a light cycle change and the thc content is usually slightly lower in auto versions

All my info is based off what I read online, I have no grow experience. What I do have is intellect and common sense and from everything I’ve read and other pro growers autos are faster for a fact. Your speaking on opinion, not fact. It’s cool to have an opinion but don’t force spread false info.

What’s the fastest u have grown photos and the fastest u have grown autos? What were yield results? Speak on facts not opinions.
actually im speaking off of facts ive ran both autos and photos and autos are not faster by any means unlike you this isnt my first time at the rodeo

Listen, I want your opinions, but back them up with numbers and facts so I can actually learn from your experience. Jumping on an auto thread and Driding photos isn’t the way to go. I’m growing autos and asked for advice on AUTOS. I understand I’m a beginner but u were too at some point. I need yield ratios compared to different light schedules. Not ppl telling me why photos are better.

Pot calling the kettle black. If u read the thread title u would understand that I don’t need info on photos. I’m not being cocky, I reiterated many times the info I needed, but still ppl persist with the autos vs photos bs. I do appreciate your opinions, but help me with what I’m asking. Your opinions on photos being better than autos are irrelevant at this point.
