Autoflower Light Hours

hey all,

i have got a autoflower. Nirvana Northen Lights.
it is 3 weeks 2days old.

my question is should i reduce light hours from 24/0 to 20/4? or even 18/6?

i read somewhere that 24/0 is a waste, but will it effect my plant with the decressed amount of hours?

thanks

EDIT: if i was to flip to 12/12 ( i know its a auto) would i have a dramatic loss of yeild? ( and go back to 20/4 after its grown its preflowers abit? )

18/6 has always worked well for me with auto's... that's why I stick with it...

Normally with autos, an 18/6 light cycle is the best. But since you started with 24/0, I would stick with it. Just my 2 cents.

thanks for the replies

well would going from 24/0 to 18/6 tempt the plant to start flowering?

because i only have 1 light, and this plant is about 8 inch tall.

i have heard that going to 12/12 will reduce yeild ALOT. would i get same effect from 24/0 to 18/6?

many thanks for replies guys
