I just switched to 6/2 for some photos in veg and im seeing good results. Seems like less end of day droop compared to 18/6. I was thinking this might be good for autos..
Photos and Autos are 2 totally different beasts my man.

If an auto can run on 18/6 whats the difference?Photos and Autos are 2 totally different beasts my man.
I said 6/2 broPhotos need that light schedule change to flower so you go from 18/6 to 12/12 with them. Autos will bloom with lights on for 24 hours or 18/6 or 12/12. When they are ready the just go. That's the difference.
I suggested it because the theory is it may help relieve light stress from high ppfd levels. Have you heard of DLI?

No I haven't. I just read something about this today. Basically giving your photos a nap and then boom wake them back up.

I'm in a 2x2.5x5'7". Good to know you crammed 3 plants in a small tent. I can probably get away with the same then. Have any pics love to see your setup.DISCLAIMER: I'm nearing the end of my first grow. But I use a cheap Chinese 1,000-watt
LED light...$55 bucks. It has worked just fine, for my 3 plants in a 2x2x4 ft. tent. In fact, they're
very crowded and grew about 2 ft. taller than they should have. Thank God they're now
well into the flowering stage. There is NO room left.
I have ordered a slightly larger tent for my next Grow. I have a very limited space, but it'll
give me a badly-needed extra 18 inches of headroom. I used an 18/6 cycle, and though I
didn't need to, I flipped it to 12/12 after 6 weeks. I suspected they might not be Auto seeds
at all. No pests, no disease....Beginner's Luck.
Again: I used a 1,000 watt output LED light. In a tent as small as this, it's probably more than
I really needed.
Do you suggest just cutting the nute doses in half?Just watch out for when they make the flip to Flower. Go easy on any Veg nutes around that time, some strains are picky, many have issues with a little burn or stunting. Usually just a flush and they are back on their way. But any time down with Autos affect Yield/Quality. But they are fun!!! Experiment and Enjoy!!!
I do very similar my first grow and had good results so wont be changing anything in my next runIve ran a handful of good crops with Autos and will continue to use them. That being said I have ran them at 18/6, 20/4 and 24. Even the Divided 6/2 method. Then best runs I harvested were 18/6 and changed to 22/2 during their flower stage. I have always done LST on them, grown in air/fabric pots.( Upgrading to DWC soon). I see to many people with long leggy Autos, with a little training they can be a monster. My best harvest from one Auto plant is 134g Dry if I remember (Cant find my notes)
That was my understanding also. To each there own.I dont think they are getting the intensity of a LED or full direct sunlight for 24 hours in nature though.
I found several articles that said for best yields give them a small amount of rest. Like 20/4 or 18/6.
I just purchased exhale co2 bag. When my plants are a little more established I plan on using that for co2Every made home-made CO2 and stuck it in your room/tent?
half cup sugar, litre of warm water, shake, half tablespoon yeast, litre of warm water, shake well in a large bottle and allow extra space to be at the top of the bottle, leave without the cap in your room/tent.
