When you are growing an AUTOFLOWER, do I use a 18/6 light schedule or 12/12 light schedule once she starts showing signs of flowering? ++REP REP for an amazing answer!

To grow autos you use 18/6 for the plant's whole life, you never switch to 12/12, never!

any light schedule should do the trick since they are auto flowering plants

Any will do but most people agree that 18/6 is the best for Autos.
Good Luck!

For most yes but aren't there some auto that still grow better under 12/12? I have never grown with them I'm just asking all the auto guru's out there haha ^_^

I have not heard of any but you could be right.
As far as im aware 12/12 just gives you less yield.

There is no autos doing better under 12/12, the whole idea about autos is that they don't need to be switched to 12/12. If there is an auto that needs 12/12 then there was a breeding problem with that plant. Autos have to be grown under 16 to 24h of light from seed to harvest.
