Hello, i am starting my first grow with a combination bubbler/drip system i built. I ordered some autoflowering hindu kush, but i dont really know what light and/or water cycle to put them on. I heard 20/4 would work from seed to harvest. Please help!

You're not skiping the veg period that way. I do 18/6 from sprout to the time I switch to 12/12 for flowering. You should browse through the grow facts and stickies...it has all the info on hoe to get up and going.

see, thats what i thought. everything ive read has said to change up the light cycle. but the website i ordered the seeds from suggested 20/4 or 18/6 from seed to harvest since it was autoflowering. here are some pics of my setup, btw. It has two airstones in the reservoir and a 130 gph water pump. I ordered the seeds on 5/17, so i still have to wait a little bit. Also, can anyone for sure tell me about the water cycle? Do i just use the flowering schedule?

Well they're gonna flower no matter what the light cycle is so I wouldn't worry about it, go with what the sight reccomended. Either way I doub't it'll make much of a difference.

yea i agree with toker ace, ninja... remember that lowryder 2 i was growing? it had like 3 sets of leaves and a shitload of seeds already. well that was on 12/12 so i think toker is right about this one.

awesome. thanks for the input :mrgreen:
i think im going to use water during the seedling stage then use the nutes when it starts flowering. should i water them the regular 4x a day still even with the different light cycle?

Wow, everyone recommended 12/12 during flowering for automatics. Why?? It will flower perfectly on 20/4. Why would the website give out false information, i bought the auto mixed seeds and mine said 20/4. I'm sure it will flower under 12/12 but why not give it more light. I'm going 24/0 for 1 week then switching to 20/4 for the remainder of the grow.

I've been growing lowryders for the last 3 months and i personally like the 18/6. my females showed at day 21 and my male at day 18. my plants thrived using that light setting:) but to each their own;) Peace

Ok, i read up on flowering water cycles and kind of modified them for a longer light cycle. tell me if this will be alright or kill my plants.

4am light on water 15 minutes
1pm water 15 minutes
9:45pm water 15 minutes
10pm light off
1am water 15 minutes
