also, i am using led and cfl lights. right now i have a 14w glow panel and 2 - 75w cfl's. each cfl is pumpig out 1100 lumens and 6500k. i was reading that for veggin its better to use the higher 6500k and for flowering use a softer cfl like 2700-3000k.. what do you think i should do as far as that? start out with the 6500 and half way thru switch to the softer? help please

Auto's get 24 hrs of light. You aren't talking about a great deal of light use it all both spectrums is fine .

Stoned or confused. Autoflower plants take 14-20 days before they start to show their sex. Use the 6500k during this time, then after it shows it's sex and begins flowering, switch it overto the 2700k. That's what I'd try at least. If you don't like the results, try it differently next time.

Yeah 18/6 seems to be the preferred cycle.. but I've seen people do 20/4, 12/12, 22/2.. I would go with 18/6 personally

Most "unbranded" autos aint great tho man, Iv bought unbranded Low-berrys and such and they just aint as "stable" as you'd hope. You should try Easyryder (AK47 x Lowryder#2) by the Joint Doctor, soaring head high and between 1 and 2 zips a plant of delicious smelling, tasting, potent stuff. I put mine under a 400w HPS on 18/6 the whole way through and mine are awesome! Hope this helps.

EDIT: You dont have to switch spectrums, they go from seedling straight to flower so your wasting time/money for the tiny bit of stretch you'll see and also the 6 weeks usually isnt from seed to harvest, its usually the flowering period. Most autos average 8 weeks from seed to chop. Again, hope this helps!
