When should you start feeding them? I'm just wondering if there's anything I need to know out of the ordinary. Also, is it ok to keep the lights on 20/4 the entire life cycle?
question about auto flowering strains

I'm growing a freak autoflower that has budded and is now making seeds. She's been under fluorescents 24 hours a day since late October when it was a seedling. I say freak autoflower because I didn't expect it to autoflower. I sort of stumbled onto this one. Other seeds from the same mother have yielded a more normal looking non autoflowering plant. So in my case, YES, you can keep an autoflower under light 24 hours for it's whole life. I'm making seeds just because it will be a challenge to see if I can get the autoflower thing to be passed onto the next generation. The plant itself is tiny about 18". It doesn't look like there's anything to clone, very little vegetation. There's not really much bud either, there might be 1/4 ounce , if that. My buddy has nicknamed this plant Lolita, we plan to toke up a sample later this week and we really hope Lolita is a bad little girl, she's got trichomes and is sticky so she's old enough to uh smoke. Her mommy was a normal Purple Pine Berry and her daddy too (we think) . Any other possible daddy's of a different strain from last falls outdoor patch all were normal sized too so I have no f'n. clue how "normal" parents created an autoflower. If it smokes good we will plant the seeds and see what happens with those...

That's crazy, I've never heard of a normal mother producing an autoflowering seed, I figured that you had to cross it with ruderalis, but maybe the gene exists in more plants as something super recessive, I don't know. Also, does anyone know the average yield of an autoflowering plant? I have 10 seeds of the g13 poison dwarf and I'm interested as to how much it'll yield.
