So my babies just hit the 7 week mark and are starting to flower. Gorilla Glue autoflower…Question, is it best to go to 12/12 on/off lighting with them now? Theyve been at 19/5. How long should i let them flower? Also should i prune the bottom leaves a touch or nah?

What lights are you using in what size tent? This is basically trying to figure out the total amount of energy per day.
Let them flower until they are ready to harvest. Every plant can be a little different, but I would expect 2 months or so. Review some of the topics here related to harvest and you’ll get a pretty good idea 9f what to look for.
I don’t really see a reason for you to do this right now. Maybe later in grow though.

Hey welcome to the forum, you said this are Autos Flowers right? No need to switch lighting cycle.
Don’t know about pruning yet not a whole lot there, What about so type of training ? But look really nice and healthy good job, growing autos my sell 12 weeks today, probably about a week tell I chop or less.

You need a 600 watt to hit recommended dli on 12 hour schedule at full power. Smaller than that I would stay with the long light schedule if plants behave properly.

Can you get a closer pic of the plants? Kinda look like males from those pics.

I can go up to 600/1000 if needed…was just using 400 because it seemed to be working well.
Never mind. I was able to zoom better on the pc. Don’t look like males zoomed in

Keep them on their light schedule they’re already in flower don’t prune anything they’re so runty they need all the help they can get, next time push them harder from the start to get bigger plants by flower time
