First run with autos!

I am currently 14 days since I put the seeds in soil. They are both 5 gallon pots with FFOF. The leftt is Strawberry Cheesecake, she is a day behind the 00 Cheese on the right. Plus a spilled a little water on her filling up my humidifer its first week. Temps stay 78-82 and RH 65-75. I have a Mars Hydro Ts1000 on 55 percent about 26 inches above and two side light Mars Hydro 300 watt about 22 inches away. I use rain water and just gave them their first does of recharge this week. Been watering every 3 days with about a quarter a gallon of water each.

The first two weeks I ran lights 24 hours, I now just switched them 20/4. Should I leave at that r when my buds start getting some size go down to 18/6??? And preferences?

I'd go 24/0 the whole time. Autos really don't care, more light generally means more bud.

I like 20/4, any more is a point of diminishing, if any, returns.

If you have issues with night-time environment, 24/0 is a good way to avoid it.

Thanks everyone. I have the 67 controller with the AC Infinity fans plus a InkBird to control humidity, so everything is on lockdown!

Did some LST today.

Yah man they grow crazy fast. Just got to stay spot in to get good yields that's make them worth it. Photos you can stay in veg get your hiccups out the way flip when ready and your good, but I am doing this run and one other run then switching back to photos for a run or two.

I run my Autos with 18/6 I don't think i will get more with 20/4 ore?

I’m running one the same

I heard 20/4 was best, so just trying it my first run. My next run I probably will try 18/6 and see if I see a difference.

There is minimal difference between 18/6 and either 20/4 or 24/0.

18/6. Most newer lights are strong enough that if you run them 20/4 or 24/0 you may exceed their DLI. They do fine on 18/6.

I’m on day 31 lights just turned off

I’m using general hydroponics flora trio. Coco perlite distilled water Mars hydro 600
Since this was my first auto grow I used distilled water because my last grow I used tap water adjust ph as per nute line fox farm trio
And plants always had issues. I think because of my tap water
