Ok folks i'm new to this auto lark and any pointers are appreciated,

So i have a few packs of mephisto genetic crosses that i plan on growing i'm just awaiting them germinating atm, so this is my dilemma: i've never grown autos and i've read many conflicting reports on desired light schedules for auto's so is there some rule of thumb! So onto vegging, i have many different lights, a t5 cloning light, a luxx led cloning light, my personal favourite is the luxx as its keep nodes nice and tight along with a few 315 cdm's, now my main question is: do you grow them just like any other photoperiod seed! My other main concern is would it be ok to vegg them under the cloning light/s until say they get to the part where they are flipping into flower mode, then just plonk them under the 315cdm/s for full flowering mode.

Lastly would/is it possible to flower autos under luxx leds 9000k light output, not so much for bud but when i finally get around to doing some breeding. thanks in advance for any/all replies. Wish me luck folks, btw been growing normal photoperiods over 25 years, so i'm not new to growing, just autos.

Hey there, as far as lighting schedule, you can run them 18/6 start to finish. Spectrum is beyond my scope at the moment. If you have the equipment you can always calculate your DLI and adjust intensity/length of lighting.
 
Usually start with 1/4 strength
Then work your way up to 1/2 then 3/4 and watch your leaf tips closely and dial back if your get burn Good luck Gromie
