You need to simulate the sun in nature. you can use 24 hour light when you are rooting clones or sprouting. When your are growing in veg its good to use 18 on 6 off this gives the plants a rest and also time for root growth. Now when you want your budding to start change your light cycle to 12 on 12 off its good if you leave the light off for 24 hours when your switch cycles, this will help the plants hormones switch to flowering stage. For now go to the 18/6 get your light as close as you can with out burning your plant and then kick them to 12/12 to bud.
good luck
Dont feed the man lies. First off, like the guy above said, lowryder is an autoflowering strain, switching lights cycles is unnecessary. Secondly, cannabis doesnt need any rest, its a C3 carbon fixation plant which means that its only working when it gets solar energy. Lastly, there are places on earth where the sun shines all the time and cannabis has no problem growing there.
Autoflowering is a genetic attribute, if your LR#2 is a spawn of a real LR and a hybrid LR its a possibility that it wont autoflower.
