I vegg with a 400w cob and flower under a 315w cmh
Also, at first sign of flower, i drop my lights to 12/12 to help save electric and as dude said, the plants really could use a break. I see a lot of growth after lights kick back on. I pulled a little more than 8oz off my last wwa

If I had to guess, I know that light can cause stretch. 24hrs of light is probably the reason that they are tall. If you keep your lights a good distance from the plants, they will try to reach it. If you keep adjusting to their growth, so will they.
That was in a 18"x36" tent. Kept running outta room so upgraded to a 32"x32" next grow I plan on scrogging a cali dream

How high were your lights?
They look great! You have a lot of time left on them to mature. I disagree with taking them outside. You are running a high risk of bringing insects into your grow room. Once in there they can really cause a lot of trouble. Like everyone else saidā¦if you want to cut down on your electric use just cut back on the hours you run the lights. Outside is not worth it.
fair point GFDuke.
i see the sense in that.
cheers
I grow White Widow Auto only and have 6 grows.in a2x2x6 ft grow box (one Plant at a time). Yes they can grow large. I use a Scrog net to keep the height under three feet, 18 hour on and 6 hours off the whole time. These plants are grown indoor and in Hydro.
Too close. About 16" and ended up with foxtails like crazy. Thatās why Iām gonna go scrog next time. Thatās with the cmh, now if I flower with my leds, i can get about 12" from canopy. But that last wwa kept stretching during flower and ran outta head room

Thatās what I was thinking, a catch 22/vicious circle thing.
I promise you will be pleased all mjj plants grow most during dark periods autos included
18/6 or 12/12 are plenty of light for autos. I also have done WW autos several times.
