You need a timer. Irregular light helps hemie growth. Yes you can shorten budding a couple weeks, but you will have to manually flip light on and off. This schedule is a 6 on 12 off. We found out yrs ago this works, but their is no timer that will adjust. I quit doing it because I'ld keep getting lost in it. Ph should be 7 or a tad lower. The extqa N is not needed, but the plant will use and get lanky. pet stores havecheap ph down for fish. You can easily correct ph. gl . ..alex
