Lighting schedule

From the sources of information I have used and other reading, it was determined the auto flowers do best on 18/6 right from the start. Recently a friend indicated that this was incorrect and it should be 18/6 for now and then when they flower switch to 12/12. The plants are doing great on 12/12, 2 weeks since germ and they are about 12" tall and all bushed out with some healthy looking leaves and stalks. My question is should I change the schedule like my friend says or just leave it alone? I am of the mind set if it isn't broke dont fix it. I also have invested a lot in this so I want to make sure I get the most out of it. Just kind of in limbo right now and need a push in the right direction.

Hi Mate, I have never done auto's but have read lots of auto grows and most growers do use 18/6 all the way through as flipping to 12/12 is not needed to promote flowering as they do it automatically. I am sure Cheesey will be here soon to give better advice as he breeds with autos.
