i plan on using my mother tent with my 4 ft. 4bulb fluro set up to do some auto flowers
so i wanted to order some auto for it, probably do about 6 of them... i was looking at
Nirvana Seeds Bubblelicious, do i keep my grow bulbs in? or the bloom specturm ones? also do you do 18/16 the whole time?
im only doing this because i will be getting a new set up for my other plants. any information would be good!
strains,lights,etc.

most do 18/6 and yea use your "bloom" spectrum, after the fist 2-4 weeks it have made its "Veg" and began to flower, it will need some red/yellow light, I would mix em up..

now I dont know witch light you run ?
but if it was me with my Veg light (T5HO) I would Run 6x6500K and 2x2700K the fist few weeks and then switch 4 of the 6500K to 2700K bulbs for the last 5-6 weeks ..

spectrum wont matter but 3 blue to 1 red will probs be best mix the spectrum up

buy shorter strains as fl's dont grow large autos well to be honest so buy shorter strains

i wouldnt go with nirvana there a bit hit and miss
18/6 is fine or 20/4

4 Foot 4 Lamp High Output T5 Fluorescent Grow Light
I have 4 GROW SPECTRUM 5400K Fluorescent Bulbs
I have 4 BLOOM SPECTRUM 3000K

So generally when I veg I use all 4 5400ks, when i switch to flowering i use 4 3000k.
Sooo.. maybe I should run 2 5400ks, and 2 3000ks the whole time? 18/6 or 20/4
So what brand / strains?

Autos suck. You can't clone them. The potency is reduced. If you have any kind of nutrient deficiencies during the grow it will unavoidably impact your end yield. They tend to be more inconsistent than non-ruderalis hybrids.

To be honest, the only reason i would recommend autoflower seeds is if i were a seed merchant.

Honestly, nothing with the Ryder genes in it is worth the hit to your plant count. I'll give you seeds if you are that desperate for something to run.

I would have to disagree.. I have been using Nirvana strains for over a decade and have had nothing but success... cloning generation after generation with no mutation or degradation. The genetics for ALL auto flowering strain suck because it is so unnatural. I would hold my tongue if I were you... as it seems you only deal with auto's.
