autos work best under 20/4,, i personally just keep myne on 24/7 but reckon next time il do 20/4 save a bit on electric and give them a little rest at the same time ;)

its pointless putting autoflowers on 12/12 flowring and 24/0 for veg. they dont need to go 12/12 to flower. i think ur refering to a normal photoperiod strain are u not ?
my flowering room is 12/12 600w hps
and my veg is 24/0 but under 250 cfl

just leave it in veg then?

Autos = Autoflower

They automatically flower even in 18/6 light..

Depending on the strain different light schedules work best anywhere from 12/12 to 24/0... But an auto will automatically flower in any light schedule...

all autos are different, some do better in 16/8, 18/6, 20/4, 24/0, check with your seed supplier, they have ran several grows of them so they should know whats the best light schedule, if they are a good seed bank that is :D

Auto-flowers are just as the name implies. They will start to flower under a 24/0 light schedule in your veg room.

Autos tend to grow very slowly until the flowering stretch 3-4 weeks from planting the seed. They dont need a whole lot of light during that time. When they start flowering, they grow explosively and you want as much light as you can give them. One of the things about autos is that you can flower them under 18/6 or 20/4 or even 24/0 which means more growth since they don't have to sit idle in the dark for 12 hours every day. Plants do need some dark during a day which is why people do 18/6 or 20/4 instead of 24/0
