60dwx39.jpgIm growing a DNA Genetics 60 Day Wonder - Started it under 18/6 MH but had to switch to 12/12 HPS for regular strain - Plant is doing very well and there is growing evidence that autoflowers actually do better under 14/10 and/or 12/12

I would keep them on 20/4, i have a few going on at the moment I'm on day 27 and have had a 600hps since day 8 and their loving it. Make sure you don't put it too close too start.

AKR will finish under 12/12. As an autoflower it does not matter what your light cycle is in terms of when it flowers or finishes. However, you will reduce your potential yield at 12/12. your potecy will not be affected. It's your call, but you will have some monster photos if you continue to veg those photos. Your photos can double or triple in size after you start to flower them, so be mindful of your grow space.
I have grown a lot of autoflower varieties, and while all are a little different, they really meet their potential at 20/4 or 18/6.

Where did you get this growing evidence from? I've actually ran test on auto's with various lighting regimes and i can tell you I'll out yield any grower on those 2 light schedules. In fact from my tests i'll avg 1/4 ounce or better yield on 24/0 versus 20/4.

Sweet. Anxious to see how it turns out. Wanted to order some last round, but SOS was out of stock.
