New Grower New to Autoflower: 3 Barney's Farm Little Cheese.

[texasboy26]

:howdy:I have 3Barney's Farm Little Cheese at 35 days.

They are in a 2x3 tent with a 400watt MH/HPS light.
They are in 3 gal soft sided Root Pots.

:hot:
They look like this:

I have just put them on HPS so the light makes the pics yellow.
They are feminized, so theyre all female.You can see all the flowers if you look carefully.

Lights have become a problem.
I switched HPS on their 33rd day because I thought I was supposed to. It is flowering time for schedule plants (which I have grown). But Im on an 18/6 following 2 weeks of 24/0. Its time to put 'normal' plants into 12/12 and scare them into flowering. But these guys have been flowering for weeks. These babes dont seem to do things like anybody else. Im thinkin that the extra sun just means extra growth.

Anybody have any good ideas on lights for autos?
Is there a sticky?

i believe autos dont truly flower until they are done growing vertical...around 6-7weeks for normal autos. i use 20/4 w/ hps the entire grow.

sup texas.

im subbed up. firls are looking great so far.

like my friend swampman pointed out -- autos under 24/0 20/4 18/6 are good.

i ran 18/6 for my cycle and had to switch to 12/12 in favor of my photo.

goodluck with the flowering transition to harvest.
