Lighting 20 or 24?

[McDee]

Hey growers, just ordered 2 autocobs from BigSm0, and wanted to know what other autocob user's light schedules are. I have always used 20/4, but going to be cold for good part of next grow so wouldn't mind the lights on to keep temps up. Plus I am new to cobs all together so 24/0 maybe a better option. Any thoughts welcome.

I've ran from 18-24hrs. Wound up at 19/5. I also have autocobs coming and will most likely stay at 19/6. I am looking to cut back on electric usage while at a minimum keeping yield the same. Which I believe I'll be able to increase my yield. I see your point with the winter runs though. If your gonna need the heat might as well get the light source as well. Although I'm not sure how much heat you'll get. Good luck with your adventure into the white light. I'm excited about mine.

I have a heat light that doesn't make light just heat but if I can use my light I have now in winter they keep it mid 70's in tent. Heat lamp was wilting 1 plant cause it was pointed right at it lol my bad. Don't like using but can if needed. Going to do 1st Fastbuds in a couple weeks so going to be cold 2/3's of the grow so will need heat.
