my bubblicious autos are 1 meter and just showing flower. I have been growing them in my flower tent. they are 3 feet after stretch and will grow another foot. They have been in flower room for 6 weeks at 12/12. NOW THAT THEY SHOW and have a big azz root system can I up the light schedule maybe 15 minutes a day until I get to 15 or 16 on then 8 off? using CES nutes) EC 1.3 ph 6. 3 gallen hempy with coir..I kow that's bass ackwadrs as most start with 20/4 or 18/6 but I a convinced they need more light in flower. what do ya'll think about slowly bumping the light schudele up as I just harvested my photoperioed. It makes since to me , it makes since to me I must confess!IMG_1291.JPG
add light when they need it in flower and prolong veg by 12 / 12IMG_1302.JPG

hey KING..thats like saying female plants are just like male plants just feminized, a non feminized seed is better.. your very wrong on lots of levels.

I'm not doubting anything the plant looks big I was just asking why not criticizing how did that come out as anything other than a question followed up with the reason for the question

If you want stem elongation add a longer dark period for your autos, if you want shorter plants stick with 24/0.Darkness promotes stretch. Light cycles with autos is about photomorphogenesis as you don't need to build ethylene to stimulate flowering. The op has a point here, however there is no need to slowly adjust or any of that Bullshit... Light cycles should be used as a tool on a daily basis to shape your plant as you desire. I don't have any trouble adding a 12 hour dark cycle randomly during a week of 24/0 for example if I want to promote stem growth. 24/0 is simply the best for raw photosynthesis production.

I started with 12 12 becaiuse they were with my others. I also figured during veg they would take longer to bloom. Then once they had all those roots and started flowering...I would hit them with the 18. I am wondering if I need to graduate to 20 hours or just do it over a few days. I am too lazy to do it slowly so I just put them on 18/6. sorry brother, I mis read

ok resin hound you seem up to speed so what you are saying is its cool just to go strait to 18. are you saying that terpines and trchs get changed under 24 or just elongation. You say shapa as you desire and I am guesiing you mean before flower. have you growm a lot of autos resin?

I've grown a fair amount of them yes. I think terpines and trichome production is a whole nother area, that has more to do with spectrum used and genetics rather than light cycle IMHO. And yes I was referring to preflower, but also during the flowering stretch period .Since I try and keep my plants small, I use 24 hour light often during the veg period. I'll throw in some dark cycles to encourage stem elongation when I think I need it while training.After a fim or when I bend the dominant shoot and want to encourage fast growth of new dominant shoots for example. During most of flower I'll run 20/4...to avoid saturation limit slump as I call it. The leaves will droop when they've had enough... This slows growth Imo. During late flower.. Probably last 2 weeks or so I'll bump back to 24/0..to encourage bulking.

HeyREzzy hound, whats up with this auto droop. mine do this but when I watch a slo mo of growth plants allways droop and then my leaves will reach up, its around the same time or after I water. I am using Cutting edge solution at 1.3 to 1.4 ec ph 6 w/ 5ml micro 12 bloom also using 3ml of atami bloombastic per 5 gal. I use coco , whats your media. I am not used to using 2ml cal mag per gal but I am. My hydro guy said its a crutc h and I don't need it nut that's bs. do you know CES they are just like GH 3 part. advice, one plants very green (lime) and my last plats little sugar leaves just drooped and got dark and never came back during my last grow. I am getting ready to chk your journal. Thanks for answering me and I would like to learn from you. I have had ten successful harvests but only 3 ultra dank ones. Whats you favorite auto. I will order it.

I'm rocking autos under 19-5. Some say 18-6 others 20-4 so I went in the middle. But a great tip on the last few weeks, I'll defo do the 24 hour periods. Last run I added flower nutes to early and this I added to late. The second the stretch ended I started the transition feed and they are now showing all the flower nute deficiencies.

I heard you don't do a transition feed with autos. whats your ec and nute regiment. any supliments. I afraid I am under doing it (according to my dr (hydro shop dude). whats you media BIGGY

Not 100% sure. I waited for the stretch to finish and in the next few days I went from 3-1- to 2-2 and a week later 1-3. Doesn't seem like I left them to starve

Watering droop is something else, it happens after watering sometimes. Usually it's not a big problem.

As far as autos go, check out Memphisto genetics.Most of their autos are solid offerings.
