How old is it? mine are 4 weeks. I was just afraid to get it any closer cause the light is really hot. my room temp stays around 80-90 during the day. The shortest one is like 10 inches away from the light.

hey big yes it will disapate. and raise your ph levels in your soil.
Ooh, really? Ive been using lemon juice to lower my ph, and then watering with it straight after. Do you think the lemon juice will dissipate in the soil and gradually raise the soils ph? Your opinion on this would be gratefully received. Ta.

Thanks for that mate. Helps explain something.
Autos veg for anywhere form 2-4 weeks depending on the strain. Why use a flower spectrum to veg? Maybe if that's all you got.... but ideally you want a veg spectrum to get the height out of you autos before they start flowering.

would it matter if i let my short rider 24/7 lighting period for 3 weeks and then switch it to 20/4 for flowering or should i just go 20/4 for the entire grow

from what i've read auto's are pretty easy to grow i am growing some short rider check out my journal i need to up dated it but that's my grow from what they told me they say it's going goodi can see your point im just gonna have to learn from my own mistakes lol... iv been growing for a few yrs now and am just a bit worried about this new auto strain and its differences to normal strains lol...
So the first plants you have in your grow link are Easyryders or Auto AK47? They look like dwarf Auto strains. Let me guess, you used a HPS for veg?
Either way my easyryder and Auto AKs are averaging about 28" finished and about 2+ ounces per plant. That's my first grow back after a 10 year hiatus.... I used to grow commercially with 5k watts in hydro.
I know what the fuck I'm doing.

I would use vinegar instead of lemon juice to lower ph. Either way I dont see the point. The soil is going to buffer it and change it back to what the soil is no matter what you put in. Unless you use some phosphoric acid, but not worth the explosions and melting your skin.... Soil is an excellent buffer of PH. So is water, whatever dissolved solids are in your water making it high ph will change it back to a high ph soon enough.
