I've brought auto-flowering feminised seeds. Other info; i'm using CFLs, and have minimal height space. I'm also on a budget!

What light cycles should i use? I've seen 24, 18,6 and 12,12, and secondly what light cycle for what stage? Veg and flowering. Or the same cycle for both stages?

What nutes for each stage? Preferably available in England.

'What nutes for each stage? Preferably available in England'

This might be a stupid question as they are auto-flowering, but I don't know if they have a veg stage as such

i would say use 18/6 from seed to harvest you dont need to change the light times for autos because they are different then photo nutes im not sure cause ive not grown autos i just have read on them you could try autoflower.net they are all about autos and height well autos only get like a foot or foot and ahalf tall so dont have to worry to much if they still is to tall for you i would set up a scrog

i have too... but from experience i see the leaves start saggin like their tired every night before lights out, and right and perky after lights on for an hour
imo the greatly enjoy the rest period

i dislike 24s because it doesnt give the plant any time to rest or to do photosythesis(not sure if i spelled rite)

Ive seen a buddy do 20/4 on Super Autos and it was some pretty decent smoke, he also did it on a 24 and it wasent really that good it took alot of maintaining and nutes.

Same cycle all the way through, it flowers by age not cycle

Been growing autos for 5 years on 24/0 under T5 for a month, then HPS till finished...no one has ever convinced me than an auto needs any rest period...so I do what i always have and it works great for me...dropping leaves DO NOT mean TURN THE LIGHTS OFF. I feed mine the same as I feed my photos....

Agree with OLDREEFER. Yep 24/0. Autos don't need a rest period. I've never tried anything but 24/0 and it works out great every time.
