Ive been reading about the negatives with using 12/12 on auto flowers and cant make up my mind on what to do.
Ive started my first real grow and swapped from hydro to soil mid seedling stage based on its just too hot right now. I wont be able to keep the reservoir cool enough. This led to stunted growth and a bottle neck in my schedules. I now have 9 plants at different stages and want to flip most to 12/12 so I can have bud for fathers day. That gives me 8-9 weeks of flowering .
My problem
Outdoor shed is where everyone ended up. Its a great space with everything running for a good grow accept for temp problems. 400watt HID convertible and can make CFLs to suit. I have indoor 1X2.5X3 that I wanted to veg in. And, of course I have outside (which I really dont want to do because of LEO).
I have 2 Bubblelicious Auto Fems that may be starting to flower 3 White Widow fems 2 Swiss Cheese fems and 2 Bag seed plants female. (Bag1 is a reveg from the test grow so I know shes fem and Bag2 shows fem).
Should I flip everybody over to 12/12 this weekend and take the hit or shuffle the autos and runts indoors until the smell is unmanageable then out to 12/12? What would a light schedule change do to the autos?
Im sorry for the run on but explaining it would answer most questions in advance.
