Auto/photo

One of my autos is a photo. I am giving it 13 hours in the dark and it is forming buds. Do i need to keep it at 13 ? What will more light hours do ?

I myself would run 12/12 or 13 on and 11 off. More light more bang for your buck.
Good luck

So giving it 20 hours light is not an option ?

20 hr of light will put you back in veg and get you closer to herm.

Yeah usually when they need boosting to go flower. It's probably not a very good idea to take and switch them back up to the max light again because like my man said they can hermaphrodite on you and pop seeds everywhere as I've had this happen before myself back in the day.
That's why I'm not a big Auto fan.
There's is just too much bulshit that goes on with them. They're not a stable breed yet. Nobody's got them stabilized and cook down yet to make them run consistently every time .

I'll take a photo plant any day and just take a little bit longer.
I'm a happy camper that way. Almost always.
