Safe, Ok, my space is a 2x4 closet so it wont be cold in there if I go 24/0, they are AF's so no veg I have heard 24/0 from start to finish is Ok?
*Would it damage my plants to do so?*
I heard another stoner on here said they used it and when it hits mid 70's duct fan runs on a thermo?
I would like to use the heat created by the lamp instead of making more heat/expense with a plug in heater and thermo..

"Man, FUCK YOU LUDA" 8p

no just treat the autos the same as any other strain when it comes to the lighting scedule.

there is no difference between 18/6 and 24/0. The reason its debated so much is there is no clear benefit for the plants, if there was it wouldn't be up for debate. I know for myself, power is not free, so I 18/6 from seed until flowering.
the difference is, plants that are given no dark period will not get a chance for photosynthesis to take place. The dark period a plant gets on 18-6 is important to photosynthesis, it is during this time that various chemical compounds, which are produced during the light period, mix with stored co2 to produce sugars. Which in turn are used as energy for the plant to grow. 18-6 will produce healthier, higher quality plants.

and this is why.............

i have reposted this for reading in case anyone missed anything!!!!!
VEGETATIVE GROWTH

yes again.........

READ IT AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :evil:


Once sprouted, the plant starts vegetative growth. This means the plant will be photosynthesizing as much as possible to grow tall and start many grow tips at each pair of leaves. A grow tip is the part that can be cloned or propagated asexually. They are located at the top of the plant, and every major internode. If you "top" the plant, it then has two grow tips at the top. If you top each of these, you will have 4 grow tips at the top of the plant. (Since it takes time for the plant to heal and recover from the trauma of being pruned, it faster to grow 4 smaller plants and not top them at all. Or grow 2 plants, and "train" them to fill the same space. Most growers find)
All plants have a vegetative stage where they are growing as fast as possible after the plant first germinates from seed. It is possible to grow plants with no dark period, and increase the speed at which they grow by 15-30&. Plants can be grown vegetatively indefinitely. It is up to the gardener to decide when to force the plant to flower. A plant can grow from 12" to 12' before being forced to flower, so there is a lot of latitude here for each gardener to manage the garden based on goals and space available.
A solution of 20-20-20 with trace minerals is used for both hydroponic and soil gardening when growing continuously under lights. Miracle Grow Patio or RapidGrow plant food is good for this. A high P plant food such as Peter's 5-50-17 food is used for blooming and fruiting plants when beginning 12 hour days. Epsom salts (1tsp) should be used in the solution for magnesium and sulfur minerals. Trace minerals are needed too, if your food does not include them. Miracle Grow Patio includes these trace elements, and is highly recommended.
Keep lights on continuously for sprouts, since they require no darkness period like older plants. You will not need a timer unless you want to keep the lamps off during a certain time each day. Try to light the plants for 18 or more hours, or continuously at this point. Bend a young plant's stem back and forth to force it to be very thick and strong. Spindly stems can not support heavy flowering growth. An internal oscillating fan will reduce humidity on the leave's stomata and improve the stem strength as well. The importance of nternal air circulation can not be stressed enough. It will excersize the plants and make them grow stronger, while reducing many hazards that could ruin your crop.
