Autos will flower with less light but they will not produce big,tight buds with less then :I'd say 16hrs of stronge light. They are made to be able to finish in 18/or more hrs of light. Great for veg rooms.
Oh @THCdurk it's not my thread.Lol

Ok. Cool, no with Autos it should not matter if you have a light come on when it shouldn't be. That was kind of why I tried them out,not having to worry about light leaks. They are just temperamental with nutes. Good luck my friend.

Ive been using this bulb in the black lamp. Its only 26W and 1570 lumens. The new LED strip is 24inches long, 1800 lumens and 20W. Im guessing I've been doing it wrong, on that picture it says daylight is 6500K. And the light emitted by the strip is around 4000k. So you are saying i should put both on to make it 5570K? Or should i buy something else?

Click to expand...

I grew these in a cheap dresser without the drawers under 2 soft white and 2 daylight cfls.I tied them to the side somewhat very early on and also topped once early on as well.I used the light kit from an old ceiling fan and added one more cfl off to the side.They actually started originally in a houseplants pot outside my front door and are from bag seed.I began 12/12 light cycle about a week ago. They started growing alot suddenly,so much so I had to raise my lighting because the one on the left had grown all the way into the fixture.Anyways....the right one has shown pistols and is definitely female.The left???Pre flower is leaning towards female. (Hopefully)This is my first actual totally controlled grow.I have never successfully grown a plant to maturity and harvest,or even seen a budding plant in person.Hopefully that's gonna change soon.
