I have a couple of auto strains (Delicious Seeds Auto Cheese Candy & Positronics Super Cheese Express) that are just about three weeks from seed. They are vegging under T5 HO lighting and I expect them to begin flowering in the next week or two.
Here is the question. What are people's opinions on leaving them under T5 through flower at 18/6 light cycle versus moving them to the flower room and flowering under 1000w HPS lighting for 12/12 light cycle. T5: longer light cycle, lower light intensity/lumen and light penetration but longer light exposure time, HPS: Mush higher light intensity/lumens, greater light penetration but shorter light exposure time. I have never grown these strains before and am not sure that light penetration is a big deal as both are supposed to primarily flower one main cola.
