Hello guys, i know the auto's need 18-24hrs of light,but i have one question. Would it be ok to start and finish with an HPS bulb or should i use the MH for about the first week or two then finish off with the HPS?

Great question wish I had experience to help you but I noticed you didn't have any replies so let's state the obvious and give your thread a bumb, maybe someone experienced will see it.

Use MH light if your plants are stretching, to premote more vegative growth
Use HPS light for bud building, I would tend to just want this light I think unless the plants were stretching

Autoflower tickle my nerdy side, 24 hours of light on a flowering plant yeehaw!!

what would your point be for changing i would hope not to elimanate stretch

i use flouresent tubes first two weeks then hps till finish for autos

for reg weed i sometimes use hps and mh rotating plants under both lights

or i sometimes use mh first two weeks ( for a big stretcher) then hps for good solid tight buds then switch back to mh ( for final bud groth stage)

for autos i pick a light go straight through with it

they say mh will give you fluffyer buds that appear bigger and hps will give you tight hard buds that are denser heavyer

if you have both lights try agrow with each see which you like best

good luck

My point of changing would be as norm. with a regular seed......MH to get the growth before flowering and the HPS to get dense bud! I know some guys use HPS from seed to harvest,but i just thought someone may have expirimented with an auto strain. So i guess you use the HPS from seed too for your auto?
