Autogrower just started flowering

i see first signs of my autogrower starting to flower, my strain specifically said about 3 weeks, so i guess this is about right. now it flowers on any light cycle fine im told but i was wondering if it would help any growing it on 12/12 like a normal plant. thoughts?

if you bring the light cycle down to 12/12 with an autoflowering plant you will most likely decrease the yield
they flower in any light cycle and they dont even need dark, so going down to 12/12 they wont be hitting there full potential, keep the lights at 18/6 atleast
why take off extra hours of light that it could be using to photosynthesis, you didn't need to switch to 12/12 for it to bud did you, well there you go

im growing an autoflower aswell by the way 60 day wonder - 24 hours of light its getting at the moment, i will bring down to 20/4 in a week and then to 18/6 until its ready for the chop

ya tru cuz of the ruderalis plant right how ever u spell that.. thanx.. and no ive always had it on 18/6.. its under a 400watt MH warm bulb with all my other plants that are vegging (long story as to why im using the warm bulb for veg.), the one thats started to flower is a "Mi5" (dope-seeds.com) and i have a "Snowryder" aswell that i got free with the "Mi5" order.
