@NORBY, I did something similar by going from 24/0 down to 19/5. I just did it in small steps going down 15 minutes at a time. Didn't see any adverse effects. I did 24/0 through veg to see if it would make a difference. Believe it did as the plants seemed to be a little bit larger, but no definitive proof.

Now I split the difference and do 19/5. The most common schedules are 20/4 and 18/6.

Hi @NORBY

I think it’s strain/pheno-dependent on how much light the girls can handle, but it also comes down to the grower.

To run them under 24/0 you need to be on target in every aspect or else there is a big chance you will end up with a stressed plant showing multiple signs expressing something is wrong - foxtailing, nutrient deficiency or burned leaf’s etc.

But I do recommend 24/0 during veg and stretch, then a switch to 18/6 or 20/4 during bloom.

Try everything until you nail it

I cycle my lights at 20/4 because after trial and error it seemed to consistently produce the best results. But at the end of the day, proper DLI is the key no matter the schedule.

You nailed it Mossy. I am contemplating getting stuff done or to say screw it and grab some lunch with some cocktails. Day started off cloudy and gloomy, but now the sun is poking out and in the mid 70s (24C*). Too nice to work iand n other words...A gin tonic with xtra lime sounds better than working at the moment

I meant that they flowered like autoflowers should, without flipping to a 12/12 light schedule. According to my grow-log one Mothman was in pre-flower on day 40, the other day 45. So they had plenty of vegging time. They might have flowered sooner in soil (I'm in coco, feeding with MegaCrop 1-part). I also topped them at about 3 weeks old, which might extend the veg time a little.

goodmorning! ah okay i didnt know you had to trick some autos into flowering, havent experienced that yet so thanks for the heads up! much love!

Alright, time to get motivated, get a little something done, and then lunch with coctails. Happy medium, sort of like 19/5 schedule eh @Mossy?
