I have a monster trying to finish right now and all of her limbs are so heavy she is laying over.. I am going to get in there tomorrow with a pack of pipe cleaners and see if I can help her stand up.. I am fairly certain she is over 10 ounces dry on her.

This was taken a week or so ago..

Apologies, as this must have been asked many times before but a quick search on here resulted in nothing.

As the title says, what is the best lights on/off cycle for autos (24/0, 20/4 or 18/6 etc), or does it change dependent on what stage of growth the plant is on (germinating/veg/flower)? Currently I have some 1 week old seedlings on 20/4 (lights on/off), as I'm guessing the 4 hour dark period will help with the root development and the 20 hours light will help leaf development.

I ran 18/6 from the start on my last grow & tried 24/0 on this one. Adding the 186 hours of light a month didn't seem to make much of a difference, so I dropped it down to 20/4. I'll probably just stick with 18/6 for future grows.
