Autos?

[BUDDZY]

i have blue himalaya seeds from the attitude just planted into coco yesterday. my question is should i go with 20/4 or 24/0? the recommended cycle is 20/4. But with autos i would think 24 hrs would be best. just curious why the recommended cycle gives darkness?
Once they are about 2 weeks old they will be moved to dwc for the remainder of the grow. Should i use molasses during flower in my dwc? i have a spare toothbrush to scrub my airstones btw

You can run autos 24 hour light cycle if you wish. I grew mine at 20/4 and thats just because I needed the room to cool a bit. I wouldn't recommend running molasses in your res at anytime in your grow. Dwc is a whole nother animal you need a good hydroponic nute schedule and I wouldn't recommend organic. I use a simple General Hydroponic Flora series and follow the Lucas feeding formula and never had a problem with runty yields. Your budsize is more a result of your growing environment and not solely on your nute setup. If you want a sweetener you can sure find plenty online under 100 different names that would be easier on your res than molasses. I hope this helps.
