    Twenty20 Mendocino Autos?

    Update for Whiskey Zulu... at 55 days. Even grown in my bonzai style and very conservative, all three WZ have done well and are throwing out some nice nuggs. Kinda different but nice. All were topped and nothing else....each reaching 20-22" out of pot. Seems 12/12 may speed up finish..being a...

    Does anyone keep plants from seedling to finish flower in 12/12 the entire time?

    I finish every plant, auto and photo on 12/12...... after 3 weeks 24/0 under T5...all are moved to a 700w of mixed led/cobs. I've done this perpetually for over 15 yrs...ain't missed a bowl of weed yet.

    24/0 versus 18/6

    The only quality difference is gonna be due to controlling overall environment and feeding to maintain plant health ....with lighting being important but not so much the duration. Over the years, I've run all the schedules....now run 12/12 on everything....does fine and I have plenty of potent...

    Twenty20 Mendocino Autos?

    I too was influenced to try some whiskey zulu..along with twizzlers....to see if this breeder could earn a spot in my perpetual grow... being a conservative grower of autos and photos, in 2-3 ltr pots...no pushing...just let'em do their thing while just maintaining health...slammed with 700...

    Auto Flowering time

    You'll like the reduced energy costs and easier parameter control! I actually veg everything for 3 weeks 24/0 T5HO and move to a 12/12 area. After that, aside from feeding, I pay little attention til close to harvest, which comes around often in perpetual grows. Shits and giggles has provided me...

    Auto Flowering time

    I can say, with no scientific reasoning, and only from doing it so long, 12/12 does seem to speed up finishing at times and it also seems it's according to the light. I started growing in someone's winter flower room where 12/12 was it...I only grew autos and they did fine...No where does it say...

    Mars hydro tsw2000?

    The MH tsw2000 would be a good light for the tent... IMO...I run some MH lights with epistar diodes (for mid stage and flower) that have performed as well as any other. Great way to start...get ventilation etc figured out and kick it in gear.

    Auto Flowering time

    Growing autos for over 15 yrs, it's no way I can put an accurate number on flower times as we once could. When the early autos became commercially popular and a cash cow for breeders, genetics were changed for more yeild and growth so now it's just a crap shoot if you don't stay with known auto...

    Ripening after harvest

    According to strain, if it ripens to the point the trics are all 'golden', you'll have some massive pain relief...I always keep a jar just for that.

    Which autoflower are you growing at the moment and why?

    Well actually, regardless of yeild, quality doesn't change imo...as long as other primary environmental conditions are in spec. My yeilds for autos are approx. .5-.6 oz per ltr medium making a usual harvest about 1.5 +....under approx 60wsqft... Photos are in 2-3 ltr pots, only vegged 3 weeks...

    Is it time to harvest?

    Considering the strain, if you care to document a harvest preference, take a couple of buds a couple weeks apart. Personally, I keep separate jar of early buds for wake n bake, a jar to knock my old ass out and a jar to cruise on daily..... Some strains really show quite a difference in timed...
