Light cycle for White Widow autoflower

From a fellow grower: have a white widow auto in my tent right now and it’s 32 days old and I have had it on a 24 hour light cycle her whole life. I was watching a YouTube video that said that 24 hour light cycle is not good for auto’s cause they need to rest. My question is, if I were to switch the light cycle now at 32 days old to a 20on/4off light cycle would that be just fine or would it cause them to much stress?

Cannabis is a C3 plant and does not need dark periods to complete all biological processes. That said, many growers will run their autos 18/6.

The most important thing you need to meet is the plant’s daily light requirements (DLI.)

They’ll be fine with the switch up but as the above said you’ll need to increase light amount slightly to adjust to the less daily light intake

I run mine at 18/6
