i used a 600 hps when i grew my sour sixy and my sour snow and i kept them on 24 hours of life in in 2 5 gallon hydro bucket and they did awsome they excell with 24 hours of light i have heard 18 and 6 to but i did just great with 24 hours of light

The only reason to go on 18/6 is the cost of use. The difference in yield between 24/0 and 18/6 is not worth the extra kilowatt hours on your bill. I am on 24/0 in my space now but I will be moving into a cabinet and on a timer when it starts to get hot outside.

Doesn't sound good. I have 1 out of 10 autos doing that to me now, in week 5, 18/6 cycle. Its three times the size of the others but only has a few hairs at each bud site and has been this way since day 16. I think it's confused and don't think it's gonna straighten out. Btw the others have lovely nugs.

Hops

Surfhead, you had this happen in any of your autos??

surfhead · Feb 20, 2011

no i havnt had that problem, if its been like that since day 16 if i had a place to go to 12/12 without bothering my other plants i think i would . but see what a few other people on here have to say that might have had this happen ! that could be the columbia sativa gene in it not the auto ak or lowryder. like to see some pics !!1

Hopsnmalt · Feb 20, 2011

O.k., surf, I'll get some pics up in the morning. This auto is an Mi5 Short Stuff. The only way I could get it 12/12 is to put it outside (norcal, 10hrs, 58min right now) and that may be my best bet, in a couple of weeks it will outgrow my small growbox anyway. I think the Mi5 is a selected auto AK if I remember right, so it may be AK genes showing up. I'll try to get some close ups tomorrow.

Hops

I wait until about day 30...if I haven't seen anything by then I flip to 12/12 for the rest of the grow

rob hands · Feb 21, 2011

thanks k21701 +rep would doing this change the flowering or harvest times? and how would this affect the yeild?

teflondummy · Feb 21, 2011

It will stretch out the overall time and since it vegged longer it should yield a little more.

Hey all... pretty big thread so far

I have ordered whole bunch of new autoflower strains and I`m feeling great because I don`t have to spend anything for them

.... Friend showed me some site and I told him that he is totally gay because all these sites are scam and horse shit but then he showed some checkouts for me

he gets about 10 different fem autoflower seeds every week from what he earns by doing nothing

and I`m buying the same .... ordered lowriders, auto blueberry, some new strains and so on... even don`t remember what I ordered last time because I now order them every week from what I earn

well nice to see that autos are so popular nowadays

and if anyone is interested in getting some cash for seeds, what seemed total bullshit for me until i got paid after doing nothing for few days... then check the link in my description

stoneyguy84 · Feb 21, 2011

O.K. Surf, here are some pics of the Onyx and MI5 all at 40 days. It's pretty obvious which one is continuing to veg, and flower sparsely. These have been on 18/6 for the first month then to 20/4 to help the seeds mature. They have all been pollinated at or around 25 to 30 days. Thanks to anyone who might have info on the rogue MI5 and what it's up to.

Peace
Hops
