Early Harvesting Questions on light cycles

    I want to have my plants done drying by Christmas. I have two big bushy (FIMed) carmella clones in flower. Breeder states 7-9 weeks. I started w/ 12/12 for two weeks, and by week three was down to 10/14. Now it is week four, and I have stayed at 15. Should I continue to back off the lights for the next 2.5 weeks to finish them up? (8/16 for a week, then 6/18 last week). Also, I plan to girdle one in the next week and flush both a few days thereafter. (2 week coco flush too much??) I would like the up of a early indica, but not sure on the lighting and. Am I too excited to girdle and flush? Is two weeks to much for coco? Thanks

    Well, it's growing balls so I am going to cut the light 15 min a day and start the flush, I girdled last night, damn hermies.

    There's some excellent bud that comes from up north so it might be interesting to play with the light cycles and see how short you can cut the cycle w/o affecting crop.

    towards the end of the life cycle there is nothing wrong with cutting the light back to 11/13, 10/14, 9/15, or 8/16. my last grow i did just that for the last two weeks, cut it an hour a day. worked great.
