Help with autoflowering plants

[Blunteezy]

Hello, i purchased 15 mixed autoflowering seeds and on the website it says ideal light regime: 20/4 from seed to harvest. Okay well, should i use 6500k lights or 2600k for the whole cycle? And since its autoflowering shouldnt that mean 12/12 right after seedling stage?

Can someone help me out, please?

6500k to start and when it begins to flower go over to 2700k. An autoflower will bud with 24/0 of light. From what I understand give the plant as much light as possible. I don't have experience with autoflowers but there are a lot of grow journals on this site so search around...

It says 20/4 from seed to harvest so I think you should keep it at 20/4 all the time and it will flower anyway.

that's why it's called an autoflowering strain

Right but my real question was more about the color temp for the bulbs. So 6500k for about 2-3 weeks.. mabye i can keep the light cycle on 24/0 for 2-3 weeks until i see some sex, then switch it to 2700k and 20/4?

If I was you i'd do 18/6 just because the plant stores energy when lights are on, and grows when its dark.

It's different for autoflowering plants, My friend has one outdoor lol

ii have completly NO xperiance with auto strains but have read a great deal and watched mi share of grows and ive seen the best results on 18/6 the plant does better with a lil rest as ii would say...and yes start light with veg lights(dont kno kelvin but its a few post^) then when it starts to flower switch to flowering lights...as ii would say be kind to your kind

For the whole cycle? What about 24/0 until it starts to show sex, then 18/6? This is confusing..

If this were completely true- plants wouldn't grow under 24 hrs of light a day now would they?

and they do...

i use 20/4 till they show sex, then switch too 18/6 everytime but since im perpetuall, they stay on 18/6 now, maybe that helps

 

[Bluemax]
