can you do a 24/0 light cycle through the whole flowering phase?

Flowers will not initiate until the dark cycle reaches 12 hours. At 24/0 you can only grow the plant in pre-flowering stage unless it is an auto-flower and I'm not so sure it would even flower if there was no dark cycle.

so then whats a good light cycle for the flowering stage, im using hydroponics if that makes a difference.

12/12 is the standard these days

Some AF's will flower with less than 12 hours of darkness & some won't. The genetics are not as stable as these seed banks claim on most AF's if you read around on a lot of the different threads.

You can use a 24/12 cycle if you want a bigger yield. 12/24 if you want a higher amount of thrichromes. Obviously it takes longer tho.

I can not wait till they come out with auto-grow seeds...

Uhhh dude autos are a reality they've been around for awhile & you can get them from most seed banks.

what do you mean by auto-grow? and fuck auto's, most STRAINS aren't as stable as they make out to be...but yea, in most cases the auto gene isn't fully stabilized, though most of mine are doing just that, I have them on 22/2 with 4 3000K T8's and they've started flowering earlier in the week. I have shortrider and short stuff auto assassin. I just posted pics in my journal.
