Hi! I found this site while searching for info on autoflower light schedules. Maybe it was wishful thinking. I'm kind of stuck now with an incompatible grow. I ordered some Fem Blue Cheese AF seeds and they threw in some extra seeds, so I planted 3 BCAF and 3....others. The "others" are periodic. So now I have the BCAF at day 56, thinking they would be wrapping up, and 2 remaining periodics that need to be shifted to the 12/12 mode but all 5 are in the same closet with my only light. It looks like the lesser of 2 evils is to let the periodics keep vegging while the autos finish. That's going to be a long veg session. It's that or go to a 12/12 for all and that's bad for the auto, based on info I found while lurking in previous posts. Any thoughts? You can see some pics in the album I just started. I took those yesterday. (2/9/14).

i did the same thing as you when i did my first grow. ordered some sweet tooth AF`s and got a GrapF Kush Photo along for free...i veg`ed it to the auto`s where finished...man, it got big xD
but thats what i would do "My 2 cents"
let us know if you need any help getting around bud, and it would be awesome if you started a thread on those grows :Sharing One:

Hey and Welcome!
Ya it is a dilemma. I have one photo in my crew. I am pretty close to harvest and for now I am taking it out of my tent and putting into a dark bin setup so it gets 12/12 and my autos get their 18/6.
Peace and happy growing.

Hey mate i have a blackjack that was meant to be an auto but it turned out to be photo, im almost finished my autos, probably 3 weeks left. The thing is like double their size and still has to flower, i spose its a good problem to have. Check out my grow journal to see what u may be in for.
Hey diver! Welcome to AFN!
The photos size was getting to be a problem. I have a "home grown light" made of 4, 68W CFLs and I can keep it pretty close but the 2 photos were forcing me to raise the light higher from the autos than I wanted. I just pinched and bent a good 8" on the tops of the photos so now all the tops are about the same. And one of the autos is like 6" shorter than the other 2, but it has the most mature looking buds, by far. Can't figure that one out. All I've ever given these plants are Super Thrive (1/4 tsp per gal) and FloraNova Bloom (up to 2 tsp per gal now). I'm not sure when to start the clear water final stage.

Welcome to the Family, 1olddiver! :tiphat:
I agree that letting your autos finish, then going to a 12/12 would be ideal. As for the height issue, I made the mistake of a multi-strained grow, the heights were WAY off. :dunno:
I had good luck raising the shorties up to match the taller plants... bricks, sticks, whatever ya got to keep an even canopy.
A pain, for sure, but pain don't hurt!

Muddy is the man! I try to cleanse with pH'ed water for the last two weeks, some only do a week, kinda depends on your nutes and personal grow style.
