I may have misunderstood, we were enjoying Blue dream at the time... LOL. I switched to 12/12 on Oct. first...... 8 weeks of veg and one is a New york OG and the other is a cheese. Going to be monsters!

I just learned this bit of information yesterday...If it is an autoflower then you keep at 18/6 the entire time until harvest. This seems counter intuitive but this is what I was told...for clones and normal seeds you will maintain at 18 hrs on and 6 off during vegetation then switch to 12/12 for flowering. Basically, the rule of green thumb is 2 months veg and 2 months bloom. Cheers!

An autoflower will flower irregardless of the light period.

My thoughts are that you have most likely misunderstood. Because no way your friend can be that much of a fucking retard, if he does indeed grow.
