New Grower Does 12/12 on an auto keep the height down ?

[MaxTrichomes]

Trying to keep my grow on the stealthy side height wise and wondered if I make a 12/12 cycle if it will focus on buds instead of upwards growth.

thx

12/12 might keep her a little smaller but you will also get a smaller yield.

Another top piece of info, great, I guess stealth vs yield is a compromise for different growing situations, many thx.

For a bigger yeild Max you could use LST (low stress training) and tie her down mate but still do 18/6 lighting , this will yeild more imo

Ps look up Nibblebit's diary this will show you some lst in action mate
Scientific LST ... 4 x DP AutoBlueberry organic compost 250W CFL Grow.

also I found 12/12 on an auto extends growth time by another 2 weeks---slows her down !!!!

To be honest my first grow was with Kalashnikova automatic from green house seed co. and i had her on 12/12 light schedule for flowering.She finished in 63 days from seed and potent as hell.This is my 2 bit's.

but did you do compare 1 on 12/12 and another on 24/0 or 18/6? yours may have got a lot bigger on more hours.also some take the autos alittle early-or my openion anyway usually because pack says 60 or so days.all the top breeders will usually tell you it takes longer to fully develop a auto .all mine go longer than posted .if left alittle longer she will start a last ditch effort to make seed and throw more hairs---witch means more bud!!!!
