My biggest plant died now what?

So I go into my closet to find my biggest plant dying and not saveable. So I removed it and now I have 3 plants. An auto and 2 bag seeds that started at 12/12. They are about 2 inches long and just got there first set of true leaves. Can I go back to 18-6? It's been 3 weeks in flower. Or should I just keep them In flower?

You can go back to 18-6, but it isn't advisable. You'll lose a significant of time waiting for the plant to re-veg, and it can cause your plant to go into shock, so in your position I would continue to flower your remaining plants and put things right on your next run.

Plants don't die overnight - how long had it been since you last checked on your big plant?

EDIT: I misread your post - the seeds you started only have a set (or two) of true leaves? Yeah, I guess it's early enough for you to switch to 18-6 since the seedlings haven't sexed yet. That said, I'm an advocate of trying to keep the environment consistent, so that there's less potential for shocking your plants.

Also, I don't think autos need 12-12 - I'm fairly sure most thrive under 18-6 for their entire life cycle.

Well she wasn't dead just yet. But all of her leaves started turning a rust color for some reason

Cal/Mag prolly......hard to say

I've been growing weed for 35 years outside just started growing inside 2 years ago so my inside growing knowledge is minimal but I've got to ask WHY would you want to go to 12/12 on such a young plant ......you said it was only 2 inches tall and had just developed it's first set of leaves..please excuse me.... but that just sounds counter productive.

There are actually Quite a few people who successfully grow using a 12/12 from seed life-cycle. You should look it up its actually pretty interesting. A pretty big pro is that you could potentially harvest plants on a pretty frequent schedule using only a single grow space

I may give it a try just to see what it's all about.......I guess if your cramped for space it would be a viable alternative........ thanks for the info......you don't know till you ask!
