Default need to switch CFL types with autoflower strains?
permalink
I just realized today that I hadn't switched my side CFLs from the daylight bulbs to soft white bulbs and swapped most of them. But with autoflowers, does switching the lights out still help with flower production?

I know that moving light spectrums can help trigger flowering in normal strains, but I don't know how much the spectrum actually influences bud growth when plants flower.

I'm doing a hydro grow, aerogarden pro light hood with side CFLs.

With autoflowers you want a 25/75% 6500/2700K ratio of lights(or approximate). You can start with 75/25 then after 2 weeks swap over to 25/75 to bring more red into the mix and keep it at that till harvest.

I've only grown autoflowers twice and I switched at 4 weeks and it seemed to work well.
