whats up fellas.. so for the autoflowering strain... you can grow it in any light environment and it will flower naturally because the strain is not dependent on light to flower. Unlike other strains which go from veg to flower based on the amount of sunlight that they receive(24/0 or 18/6 in veg and 12/12 in flowering), the autoflowering strains switch automatically, regardless of how much light they recieve, from veg to flowering because they have a hormone that automatically induces flowering, usually 2-3 weeks after planted. But the less light it recieves during the day = less yield in the end. So if you run an autoflowering strain on 18/6 vs. 12/12 youll just recieve more bud and the plant will grow larger, but the growth pattern will be the same. Hope this helps.
