I have a good question!

If I have a AutoFlower, what bulb am I using? Am I using 2700k bulb or am I using a 6500k bulb for the ENTIRE GROW!? Am I growing an autoflower normally: 6500k during its veg period and the switch too 2700k during Flower? Or can I just keep One light on it? Im kinda confused?

Oh cool. I thought I can just use the 2700k all the way threw the whole grow.....So just keep growing like normal?

While they don't have a vegetative stage its good to have one or two daylights because the blue spectrum keeps them more compact, but its not required.

Auto flowers are ideal for hps lamps if you want to keep the size down. otherwise an mh bulb would grow them faster in veg

So what do you all recommend me do? so an MH bulb all the way, once she pops out soil to end? or HPS from start to finish? Or combine as If im growing like normal!
Room space is not a problem, this will be the first time for autoflower so interested in learning as much as possible!

I use 2700 cfls. My autos usually finish up in about 8-9 weeks from the day they pop out of the soil. Good luck DOG.

Im a little late but you would be better off using both bulbs mh/veg, hps/bloom if plant height is not a concern. If a 250w hps is all you got than work with what you got, but theres always room for improvement
