I've always kept it HPS From seeds to harvest. But I'd say switch now... No harm no foul.

Switching over once the lights are off. Thanks for the great info. Did you feed your autos? This is Candy Cane Auto from Crop King. I have read that I should just give them water because my FFOF has enough nutes? Is this true? If it's not, I have GoBox Nutes standing by.

You ran your plants from seeds under 1000HPS? I have a thousand watt HPS but I turned it down. So I can turn my lights up?

Ofcourse I feed my autos, I use the entire earth juice line up in FFOF soil. FFOF Soil is a hot soil only for the first 4 weeks. Be careful with autos and nutes tho some autos dont take to kind to nutes or any if that. Once your getting into flower with FFOF you want to use nutes for that extra umpfffff. Yes i ran my seed under 1000 watt hps I kept it about 5 feet up. Yeah turn that bitch up! only turn it up if you can afford those socal edison bills!

I switched to my HPS once the MH shut off for the night. I'll raise the lights too. Thank you very much for your help. This is my second grow season and my first Autoflower season.

True! I just finished candy cane from crop King (5 plants-1 male) and they don't like a lot of nutes at all. Maybe try after 4 weeks at a very diluted concentration (1/4-1/
of recommended and alternate feedings with just plain water. These are the mistakes I made and they're key.

I'm not even worried about them taking a little bit longer.

Just finished harvesting a Candy Cane and it responded VERY well with slightly less concentrated nutes. It was topped a little late but it recovered really well and still produced 3+ ounces dried.
Grew it simultaneously with Crop King NYC Diesel autos and using the same grow plan, it produced just a little less than 3 ounces dry.
