hi guys im just wondering if it is nessesary to employ a 12/12 light cycle with autoflowering strains when budding? also i have heard that there is no need to use a red spectrum bulb with autoflowering strains,is this true?

18/6 or 20/4 depending on the strain. If you have both mh and hps then use both. Hps is better during the flower cycle doesn't matter if auto or not its the spectrum the plant flowers to better.

No reason not to give an auto 24 hr light. But it still needs to be mostly on the 2700k end.

The only autos I've grown were white dwarf and those flourished on 24/7, but then I never tried anything else so who knows?

You really should try 20/4 much faster growth
