I am going to have to look into the 6/2 more. I can say the gas lantern works great also. I have one plant left on it right now

The only reason I switched to the 6/2 schedule was because of heat. Iā€™m sued to a 4x8 tent, now I went to a 4x4. I stopped growing during the last 5 years, and of course, as soon as I had taken my big tent down and filled the space, I wanted to grow again. So only space I had would only fit the 4x4. I even bought a 2x4 for clones, but I have to make the space to put it up.

The 6/2 schedule allows me to keep my temps around 76F-84F.

You keep saying this, how does 6/2 light schedule save money?

24

no need for an exhaust fan running all day.

25

So, you turn off the exhaust fan when lights are off and only run it when grow lights are on?

Using AC Infinity CLOUDLINE T4 with auto controller.
It turns on when any of the conditions below are met.

  1. high Humidity set to 84
  2. temp higher than 86
    It can also do low humidity and temp, but I set them off.
    I have an auto humidifier and try to stay at 65% at mid-height of the tent.

I havenā€™t. 6/2 has always been fine so havenā€™t had any reason to change it.

What schedule for flowering AUTOā€™s

Iā€™m finding I get more growth with more light,

31

In flower Iā€™ve always ran 12/12 because Iā€™d run them along side of photos.

Yea, I would also. This grow I have a few not ready for flower and no room for another tent.

Oh well, I guess we will find out how it goes:)

Iā€™m hoping I havenā€™t stressed the Bruce Banner so much that It goes Hermi.

The others are Gorilla Glue and GSC, I really want the GSCā€¦

Interesting readā€¦ might give it a try. I see how this works with traditional photoperiod plants not so sure it makes sense on auto flowers. Thoughts ?

I donā€™t grow autoā€™s , but I can say that the gas lantern method is all goodā€¦
6 on
5 off
2 on
5 off
6 on
Plantā€™s grow like crazyā€¦
Very vigorousā€¦
Be prepared for flowering in way less time and a huge electricity bill decreaseā€¦
I run that schedule because some plantā€™s will start to flower with only one hour in-between light cyclesā€¦
This is my vegg schedule , but Iā€™m sure that it would grow some monster autoā€™sā€¦
