Car battery?Found out i'll be without power next monday for an unknown period of time. I'm growing indoors and my autoflower plants are attached to a trellis net; hence immovable- has anyone had a similar experience? What could I use as a temporary light source? Would attaching the lights to a car battery be a viable option?
They’d be better on 16/8. 24/0 is really only good for rooting cuttings.
I always do 24/0 in vege due to temp issues and compared to my friends growing the same strain my plants grow faster, its really a matter of is paying for the 6 hours extra lighting giving me added benefit and theres no way you could run your whole grow off car batterys unless you had heaps and even then you would only have power for a short period of time.
I ran my autos 24/7 until I tried 18/6 man did they really like it especially if your in soilThey’d be better on 16/8. 24/0 is really only good for rooting cuttings.
I use 16/8, it's ok to switchwould like to try 16/8 but could switching from 24/0 to 16/8 at 5 weeks bring any unintended consequences?
Oh sorry I see you're growing autoflowers friend, I wouldn't switch to 16/8, use 20/4 or 18/6 at the very least, but I've heard 20/4 is optimal like needs help guy mentioned above?I use 16/8, it's ok to switch
Thanks for the info! I'll change the light cycle soon.Oh sorry I see you're growing autoflowers friend, I wouldn't switch to 16/8, use 20/4 or 18/6 at the very least, but I've heard 20/4 is optimal like needs help guy mentioned above?
The few Autoflower freebies I've grown by necessity were under 12/12 and they produced fine I had no issues with them at all but again I've heard 20/4 is the best cycle for autos, hope this helps!

Wrong they are auto’sThey’d be better on 16/8. 24/0 is really only good for rooting cuttings.
I heard the less than 24 before and tried it on the same auto/fem/white widow and got less yield, might be different with different strain/breeder but mine did best @24.Thanks for the info! I'll change the light cycle soon.
