I’ve been growing Autos indoors. I want to try photos my question is can I start the photos on the auto light schedule 18/6? Are the light leak issues I’ve read about a problem during veg or just after the flip? I know I have a few leaks in my tent can I just tape them? The zipper has a few spots as well how can I correct that?
The photos will be with autos for around 6-7 weeks while they finish.
Any advice is welcome

18/6 is the typical light schedule for vegging photo period plants. So you shouldn’t really have a problem there. The light leaks you will want fixed prior to putting the photos on flowering schedule. If you’re in a tent, tape will usually work. But I suppose there is some flexibility needed for size of light leak and type of damage. You could always install a layer of panda film all the way around inside of your tent too.

Thank you
I’m going to get leaks fixed and the room the tent will be in will be a dark room basically. I will be scheduling dark time accordingly.

Search the forum for a thread about fixing light leaks with flex seal. It’s simple and genius.

Get digital timers…
I repeat , get digital timers…lol 
When power goes out , they go right back to exact time you set previously…
Lights and extraction fans are all on digital timers…
over time , those mechanical timer’s will fall out of time …
I only use mechanical timers in vegg because nothing really matters then…

Just throw a black out curtain over where you think you have light leaks…
I use them for going in and out of doors , like a photo booth…
But in your case , you can cover all of the light leaks from the out side with no effort…lol
