Not a newbie but new to autoflowers

Autoflowering cannabis produces its bud with time, rather than light. However, they still need consistent lighting, so getting the schedule right is crucial. Here is what you need to know.

As the name suggests, autoflowering cannabis strains automatically flower with time, no matter what light schedule is received. However, ensuring they get enough light is essential if you want a decent yield. These plants keep things simple for growers, and can be a great start for beginners. Photoperiod plants, which many growers are familiar with, are the opposite and require special light schedules to jump start the plant into flowering mode. Let's take a closer look at autoflowering cannabis, and how to provide enough light to create the optimum conditions for a potent and high yielding harvest.

So what do you guys and girls think should I have 24/0 or 18/6 for my autoflowers

id do 18/6 planyts need sleep aswell

See a lot of people tell me 24/0 witch I can see what about 12/12 ik people say 24/0 makes u run into a lot more problem with different plant plant issues nitrogen and so on but what about 12/12

I would run 20/4, never top it, I never liked going into the final container, so i always up potted along the way but never disturbed the roots. Now i only run them outdoors in the spring and summer.

yea never grown an auto personally but knoe people that have and they all say they grow better with a few hours of sleep imagine you trying to do the best work you can when you have been awake 24/7

i treat my plants like my kids, when they look hungry i feed them let them get some sleep give them plenty of room to grow and train them to so well shit iv even been known to sing to em after a few bowls

Im with Moondance on what he said, I have read alot of threads relating to autoflowers and see alot prefer that 20/4 cycle, you are still gonna get difference of opinions on to go 18/6 or 20/4 or still even the 24/0..you should do whatever you feel the plant tells you to do of course but I gonna go with the 20/4 as my recommendation, but I don't think you can go wrong with any of those light cycles honestly.

Ive been told 20/4 veg then 18/6 flowering once first pistils appear is best by a couple of people kind of makes sense to me but I haven't grown a auto yet.

I gunna run them in 4 liter pots nice and deep

honestly i would run a larger pot but that's just me. Smallest i would run would be 3 gallon. Also i myself run 19/5 just to be a bit different. Make sure you train them as early as you can because you never know how quickly they can start flowering.
