24/0 Light Cycle

So I am growing Auto Pounders and Auto Northern Lights under 24/0, x2 250watt CFLs

Is it possible to continue with 24/0 right until harvest?

I am growing in a box outdoors in my shed, so cold I need to have lights on 24/7 or temps drop from 70 - 80 down to 50 -60. heaters really aren't an option

Am I going to encounter any problems growing under 24/0?

Please only reply if you have grown from start to finish under 24/0

What were your yields like? any problems? what kind of lights were you using?


My light cycle needs to stay 24/0 so any info is much appreciated.

yes i run a perpetual with all ages of auto's so mine just stays on 24/0

light varies on needs
usually 400w hps cooltube and 2 135 w leds
and if needed i have roughly 300 w of 68w ge 2700k cfl's
yields vary
2-4 oz usually

2-4 oz per plant? how many plants are you running?

4-6 usually ive had a small breeding project going so my rotation is a little messed up normally i pop a bean a week or every other week depends on what i have going
if i have a full box then i usually yield less per plant you know how it goes when they start competing for light / space i can pull a fat 2 zips from almost anything ive grown out a few times
then sometimes you get that gem that out yields every other bean from the same batch

yessir, 24/0 is fine. I use LED mostly, but I have had to sprinkle in some CFLs myself just to keep temps up. Can't give ya a yield comparison because I have always done 24/0 on autos

Good to know thx.. not really after comparisons just after general yields to see if its worth it.. looks like it may be

its very much worth it if you have some vegging and in bloom at the same time no need for your vegging plants to suffer and you wont take a loss from flowering on 24/0 if thats what you need to know

can autos go 12/12?

Sure but you wont get the same bang for your buck. Autos flower no mater how much light you hittem with so no need to cut the light cycle down right?
