Which Light?

Hello. I want to grow autos in the future. I am going to keep them at 18/6 light cycle throughout the grow in order to have a perpetual harvest. I looked and can not find info on exactly what type of light to use for autos. Do I use a veg light or a bloom light throughout the grow? Do I switch to bloom once i see buds? Right now I have a full cycle LED that is working pretty well on my regular plant.

Im using cfls but im also growing auto's, right now theyre 2 weeks old and vegging but i have them under 2700k lights which is for bloom but they are doing just fine, they just seem to stretch under bloom lights if u keep them too far away but like i said mine r fine, very bushy actually, i just keep the lights about an inch or 2 over the tops and have a fan blowing cool air between the bulbs and my plants

In my opinion you cant beat HPS! I run 2 x 600w for 7-10 autos and results are damn good!

Happy Growing

Oh i agree 100% hps is the way to go, i have a tiny tent tho 30"x18"x36" if i threw an hps in there id be an easy bake oven lol

My full cycle LED is doing great with my regular plants. I am wondering if i should by more full cycles or not. They only make em in 220w, so i'm thinking i can buy a few more and line the top of the tent with em. This way i can have plants in different stages in the same tent making a perpetual harvest.

Lucky for me my tent is 2.4m x1.2m x 2.0 so I have the space to extract the heat

Happy Growing

When I grow autos I use a veg light for the first 3 weeks then I switch to a flowering light.Works well fo rme.
