What’s everyone’s light schedule with your autos? I have them with my photos now and run 18/6 for now...any help is appreciated.

Was my first run in 6 years and wanted to try them, I will update the yield results as well as grow data once finished.

24 hours and they're up and praying all the time, I've never seen them sleep like my photoperiods do when they hit their DLI, and I've definitely light-bleached them out trying to max out the DLI.

Heating and cooling create expansion and contraction. Which is not good for things in general.
