Did a quick search and coudn't find the info. Is 12 hour lighting just as good or better than 18 hour for autoflower lowrider??

18 or 24 are the best hours of light for any auto flower strain.

20/4 or 24/0 is best.

im growing the same as u and im just useing cfl's and 24/0 seems to be working ok

You got em sprouted yet? How many you got under what lights?

i started my auto's at 18 and then decided that 20 is going to work better. But I think that it is good for the plant to have some time of darkness, whether is be 4 or six hours..... i say that only because that it seems when i check on them right after the dark period ( i check my girls about 5 times a day they like when i breath on them ) They seem to have shot up more from the dark period.

I've done 2 consecutive autoflower grows using a 20/4 light schedule. Giving autoflowers 12 hours of light is definitely not recommended.

check my grow log m8 and ull see my progress on 24 houre light

Thanx for all the responses.One more dumb question: High pressure sodium(HPS) or Metal halide (HD)? Which is best for the 20/4?? They are flowering so HPS seems logical,but they are flowering no matter what??

hps is your best choice, metal hallide has a spectrum that is better suited for vegetation.

Thanx for all the responses...Great info.

20/4 all the way mate,
