yep. autos don't need a dark cycle. they flower based on time/height.

@rkymtnman do u think theres any chance i can get a harvest out of it? even if its like a quarter lol?
it has another light mode with half leds turning red while other half stay white, apparently according to manual thats for seed germination and flowering down the track

with the 7 watt led that it comes with? probably not. that light is more for low light stuff like herbs/basil/ etc.
if you can keep it growing healthily and get it to flower and you can afford another better light, you could easily get a 1/4. maybe even an oz or 2.

could you lead me in the right direction for another light? im in a tricky situation as i dont wanna chew heaps of power and also dont have heaps of coin, also i wouldnt need a tent or anything would i? just thinking what i can mount the new light on for when she flowers if we get to that stage

Like 100 i suppose bro, most of the money is going on bud itself
so u think i maybe have the potential to vegetate this plant in here but not enough light for flower?
Itll be interesting to see how vermiculite holds up alone
Oh and btw man its me and u on this journey haha mates all saying 18/6 then 12/12 flower but not sure what the go is as all research has said 24/0 20/4 and 18/6 all the way through but i can understand why 24/0 is necessary in my situation so 24/0 it is, just pulled the timer out the wall

never 12/12 for an auto. in my opinion, there are only 2 good light cycles for autos: 20/4 or 24/0. and in your case, that light is so weak that it's gonna stretch like crazy if you run 20/4.

Do you think that light i have right now would even affect the plant if it got too close?

Man you need to put a fan on that to build stem strength, lightly blowing on the stem.

see if they respond to you on this thread. that's why i tagged them. they might have some lights with scratches or dings on it that they'll sell you cheap.

you can probably get that light much closer. try it at like 6 inches away and see how the plant reacts.
and like GR said, a bit of air movment would help too
