12/12 for Autoflowering plants ?

i know that i need 12/12 cycle to start flowering for my plants but should i leave on 12/12 cycle after flowering or bump back up to 18/6. Please reply! Thanks!

hmm depends on the strain but i mostly hear 18/6 or 20/4 all the way thru..seed to harvest autos dont need a light change they are more about age not light times

^ this, auto's dont need the light cycle so you can even have them flowering under 14 light, alltho i have heard its not the best and have never tried it myself.... 18/6 all the time is what my auto's get

* i dont think you need 12/12 at all for auto's (my friend just finished a batch of lowryders under 24/7 light regimen, 24hrs on & no problems)

after flowering you should harvest lol

24 hours of light, if you can afford it. I have grown Diesel Ryders under 12/12, 24, and 18/6 and the 24s were by far the biggest plants. Also, transplant once into the biggest pots you can. I used 5 gallon pots and got a little over 2oz. from one plant. If you top ONE TIME when the seedling is about 6 inches tall, it will produce more.
