auto flowering question

[happyhi]

if the plant is an auto flowering variety does that mean it will flower
no matter how much light is on it or can you veg and create a mother
by keeping lights on 24/7?
thanks to all who have the answer!
peace

it means it flowers in any cycle.

Yes, any cycle. I've run them at 20/4, and I now run them 12/12..

can you create a clone mother or do they all come from seeds?

clones can be made but it is pointless as you cannot keep them in veg to make mother plants...

i don't think auto flowering plants can be cloned if i remember correctly and if it is a true auto flowering plant, it will flower under 24 hours of light.

I now run them 12/12..

why's that?

why's that?

Mainly because I dont see any difference in growth, vigor, yield, etc, between 12/12 and 18/6 | 20/4 | 24/0 ...

They look exactly the same under 12/12 as they do under 20/4.. and considering people grow them outdoors under 12 hour photoperiods all the time, it's a fairly normal light schedule.
