La Diva cannabis is a new strain from the Delicious Seeds, a unique cross between a Blueberry and a Diavolo with distinct autoflowering characteristics. This strain has a surprising new aroma and a new colour that can bring a variety into your cannabis garden at any time of the year. Autoflowering characteristics grant La Diva cannabis the ability to completely flower without the need for reduction of day-light hours. Her cannabis seeds grow consistently well and finish under 24 hours of light - from sprouting to harvest - in 7 weeks, although you can achieve similar results with 18 hours of light per day.
Don't get me wrong your girls look great, just think that everything needs a rest period once per day....

I agree %100
sleep is a good thing and if you can shave of a few pennies if the power bill so you can invest in some deff autos is a great idea in my books Endorium you won't hurt your plants on 24/0 but you will get the same sorta results from 20/4 or 18/6 (depending on temps, if you need the extra heat during night periods go 20/4, if not go 18/6)
The only thing you'll do is save abit of electric, it won't actually hurt your plants having them on 24/0.
On standard plants that go by photoperiods there needs to be a dark period to help root growth and release gases etc but on Auto's it doesn't seem to matter if you have lights on 24/0 (i have done some on 24/0 as a test to compare with my usual 18/6, the yeilds were the same pretty much and the root system looked the same on 24/0 as 18/6)
Zootime, i've had Thrips a couple of times with my autos, don't get any pesticides if you have bugs, go find some ladybirds!!
I can't speak highly enough of Ladybirds, they are amazing things when it comes to bugs in your crop! The only problem is they like frying themselves on your lights, you have to keep adding them to your growroom just to keep the numbers up!
Even if you have bugs bad, the Ladybirds will control the numbers even if not completely killing them off

I think every living thing needs a rest period..
But..
having said that..
I have grown @ 18/6..20/4 and 24..
and I have to say..I have found very little difference between them..
probably 20/4 would be my preference.
From a pollenation point of view..on an AF x long season roll..
I have had one of the semi-af males come through @ 18/6..
and spoiled a mass germ..
and @ 20/4.
Never got one through 24 hours light...Yet...

a lil contribution on this... lady bugs need lots of fresh water... if you can mist your plants a couple times a day this greatly increases their survival rate... be careful though.. they can reproduce like crazy... ea can lay 50 to 100 eggs... not a bad thing but people might get suspicious when ur whole house is full of ladybugs! trust me! lol
if you can mist give them a couple of small cups of water place strategically in your space... they'll thank you for it by eating the pests!

Totally Mad..
HBC..on the seed thing..
some Girls are known for their distinctly colour seed..
and..
I did start trying to catagorise them..
But..
there were so many variations..I gave up.
FullD...I got a mango......
I didn't get male dom in those pots because they had little ferts and they had been well flushed..
But..
when I germed into pre-fert compo I got 90% male dom..over 5 pots..and different genetics.
BTW..JM is using that name..
But..
I was thinking..
Durrty Little Secrets..
Durrty..(how I like my girls..) Little..(AF)..Secrets...(coz they never come out of the closet...)..
You put the thought into my head...so have you got any thoughts.
(Only problem with our Eden project is that everybody uses that one...)
