you can grow auto's in any light schedule, it just that 12/12 will produce smaller yields.

many auto growers will cycle either 20/4 or 24/0, pro's and con's to both I guess
I think you cheated and gave it some of that pabst blue ribbon! lol

It is beautiful!

Peace

Personally I run my autos on an 18/6 cycle in the same room I veg my photos, when the autos are done it's time to move the photos to the flower room and start the process over
I never top or transplant or disturb the autos in any way, just let them be auto, switch to bloom feed only after the "stretch" slows not when the preflowers appear( usually only 2 weeks in my experience) then water only to finish out. Play around with some lst but don't get crazy with it till your more comfortable, they don't like to be supercropped, at least I don't think so I've never tried, sorry for rambling heads full of pineapple chunk right now...current auto I'm running is critical rapido from barneys, grows nice, but a little weak in the thc for my taste.... Pic is of day 24 one tied down one left natural for comparison....Happy growing

you can start any plant with hps. no matter what you do your auto's are going to go to budd, put them right under hps and use what you normaly use to veg and budd your plants, I would only run the lights 18 hrs for no more than a month, you cant clone them, so do your topping, trimming and all that before you go to 12 hrs!

I hope this helps!

Good Luck!

Peace
why would you go to 12 12 if anything go to 20 4!!!
