@Snoleperd, wrong.
As autoflowering plants do not rely on hours of light to tell them when to flower, they can be subjected to a 24- hours of light throughout their growth cycle. In fact, many growers believe 24 hours of light is crucial when growing autoflowering plants, as it may give them the best chance to grow bigger in the vegetative stage and then eventually flower accordingly.
Cannabis is classed as a C3 plant, meaning it can absorb CO₂ during periods of light for photosynthesis. This theoretically eliminates the need for darkness, as they do not need periods of dark to photosynthesis, unlike C4 plants. Autoflowering plants have also evolved in the northern areas of the world where they receive near to 24-hours of light as standard during the seasons of growth. As such, it is safe to say that autoflowering cannabis can thrive under 24-hours of lighting.
@OldSkoolGranny, Photos look great... I will consider picking one up. I've bought two different magnifiers and both of them are horrible. But not the digital microscope.
How close do you need to get to the plants to use it?
@Lord_Lex, Hi Lord. I use a digital microscope. Nothing fancy. Google them. Wide range of prices. It think I paid about $30. Easy Peasy. It connects to my MacBook via usb and I use Photo Booth to take the photos.
