whatsup, im growing three auto strains in my closet. auto bomb, white dwarf, and pakistan ryder. im wonder if 24/7 lighting is alright all the way through. ive heard people do 20/4 because autos rest for 4 hours automatically even under 24/7 to save electricity, but im not worried about the extra 4 hours if it increases my yield. ive also heard from someone who claims to have grown under both who said that the one under 20/4 had less dense bud and a lower yield then the 24/7.

whats your opinion? i tried posting this on grasscity and didnt get much feedback so im hoping this site will help me out a little more.

i figure the more light the more growth, and ive heard the myth that buds only produce resin in the dark, but i saw some grow journals of autos grown under 24/7 and they looked great.

its really all up to you man.. you can do either light schedule.. a buddy of mine has some autos going 20/4 and hes seeing great results.. if i were to grow autos, i would definetely give em a little time to rest

No, 24/7 will not do anything bad for your plant. I do a 24/7 lighting schedule when my plants are in vegetative growth.
The only reason I would not do 24/7 is if I were using a HID lighting setup, then I would do a 18/6 lighting setup.
