Unusual Light Cycle for My auto

Hi, I am new to this forum and I have a question, I am about to plant my seeds of Haze Auto and the only way I have to control my Grow Box Temperature is to run my light 1 hour or 2 on and 1 hour off, . I know that Auto strains are less affected by light cycle but I wan't to make sure that my plant won't die or get bad.

How hot does it get if your on 16/8 or 18/6? If it's hot it's worth spending a small amount to exhaust and pull cooler air in. It won't die but it might hermie or stress and leave you with a worthless yield.

Between 30 and 35 Celsius my 125W CFL light produce a lot of heat. I have two fans one pulling the air out of the box and the other one in the box to give air to the plant. I am limited on space and my box as to be discreet so i can't get a big exhaust system.

Strain and genetic dependent 35c could be OK. It's right at the top end of the range. I'd rather run at that than fuck around with lights. You can get fans for pc towers to pull air in that are cheap.

Ok thanks i'll try not to get over 35 let's hope it works i'm a beginner and it's my first plant

Autos tend to be more hardy and if it's consistant it helps, but try bring it down. Oscillating fans outside might help if you can't use duct

Best advice I can give is its one thing reading it on paper or in a book but it's another thing doing it successfully so much plays a part

Amen brother

Here's my setup, it's not finished i bought reflective tape to replace my black/green tape and i'm going to change the Pc fan (Makes a lot of noise). As you can see i'm limited on space, i have to keep it discreet. I noticed that my Humidity was too low and I saw on the internet that I can put wet paper towel in the box to raise it a little bit, I'll see tomorrow if it worked. Now the plant is in a plastic cup, i know it's not the best thing to do but it should be ok, i'll transplant it in a 3L pot when the plant is going to be a little stronger.
