That really depends on the strain man. Some are actually designed to be grown under 12/12 - at least during flowering. I've found most do best under 23-1 lighting. Unless specified on the strains advert I'd say that you should opt for more over less lighting as less will probably result in a smaller yield.

its an auto northern lights from royal queen on attitude
 
couldn't tell you as I haven't grown that strain. I've grown well over 20 differnet strains and can tell you they all responded well to 23-1. I just give them the 1 off to rest my lights for a minute. Here is an example of an auto strain bred to veg at 20 plus hours a day and flower at 12/12. Most that are like this will tell you plainly on the advert. I actually bought these on accident. I'll have to grow these separate from my other 23-1 autos ...

For seven bucks a fem seed I just clicked "add to cart" before I read to description. I may try to flower at 23-1 just to see what happens.
 
anyone else had an auto that didn't pop out of its seed till it had 4 leaves? one of my easy ryders stayed in seed for a while and when it finally popped it looked like this

Not sure what this says for the plants over all health but i've dubbed it "Rudy" the little one that wouldn't give up :)
 
that's crazy, sometimes I have to help them out of the seed shell by spraying them with water, waiting 20 min then very gently pulling the shell off w/ tweasers.

on my first auto flower grow ..... and have heard that some (very few) don't truley auto flower... hoss... do you think yours would continue to veg untill you do adjust the light like a photo period without being detrimental to the final outcome?... or would they start flowering after a period anyway?

oh and if you could check my last post on my thread (in my signiture) and give your opinion on my current issue i'd be most grateful ... that is open for all to comment btw .... thanks guys/ladies ... and happy growing :-)
 
if it won't auto under 24/0 lighting its not a really stable auto. When I created my own I found some of the phenos in the F1 gen didn't auto so those were not selected to continue to strain.

2 of 2 easy ryder seeds i've germinated have now had full leaves from seed? i thought the 1st time was a fluke because the seed took forever to pop anyway but this 2nd seed was quick to pop and still full leaves? has anyone else had this happen with the Easy Ryder Strain? and if so how did the plants turn out?
 
flouro's get a right bashing on here :-( .... "alright for veg blah blah blah" ... don't see why not?, won't be that same yield as using 10000000000000Watt hps, but the yeild will be bigger then listening to CFL/T5/LED haters and being put off totally and not bothering at all

i say if you can't find what your looking for in the way of an answer on here (rollitup)... then do it!.... journal it!... and lets see what a full spectrum t5 can do with your auto's, because i'd rather like to see then here idiots give you bad advise buddy

They are LBH seeds. He's got a shit load of auto hazes... I am chomping at the bit to drop his auto sour diesel hazes!!! Flash seeds is also releasing one of his SDH lines. So you know it's good if stich will put his name on it.
 
@ Prezdixie - I've seen them before, they're rare, hopefully they'll be champions for you. Every auto mutant that has displayed characteristics like the ones you posted has wound up being an above average auto yield.

@ skeeterbob - you can def grow some kick ass autos with floros, I've done it several times but with cfl. I would suggest getting some 2700k tubes if you're only running full spectrum (5000k or more) you're sacrificing maximum yield. They'll respond better to a 2700k for sure.
