i recently got my room searched by feds, they took my super lemon haze but me n my roomates had just enough time to hide the weed and my roadrunner(dinafem) well at the time i was germin another seed which is now potted, im gonna get the attitude special offer on october 1st, ill be getting a chocolope and something else, ive got 2 decent sized pots for 2 more plants to go in and the other 3 seeds will be for my next grow, i want to keep 18/6 for maybe 6 weeks (i can only veg the photos for 5 weeks) and then im gonna drop to 12/12(going down a hour a day) will this work? will the yield of the roadrunners be reduce, if so, how much? ill think of more questions but this amnesia haze is really really fucking up my concentration and memmory.

Lucky you. It just so happens I did a grow with RoadRunner and photos at the same time.

I put my 5 RR and 5 photos in dirt at the same time. As you know this presented a dilemma
as autos do not have a veg. period, they go straight from seedling to flowering mode. All the
experts say to keep a 18/6 or even 24/0 light cycle for autos. So I had to decide wether to cater
to the photos or autos. As the autos sounded more flexible about their lighting needs I decided to veg. them all at 18/6
for 3 weeks then switched the lights to 12/12 to facilitate the photos blooming needs. The RR thrived!!!
Their growth rate slowed a bit after 2 weeks of 12/12 but not much. I did no trimming or FIM'ing
on that batch and the RR's each developed one huge cola and a couple nice side colas. They were in
one gallon pots so the 30-40 grams of cured product from each plant was more than expected.

Ignore the light problem and do a grow as pretending they are all photos.

Good luck, BigSteve.
