First time growing indoors. plants are starting to flower/bud now / What would happen now that they are budding if I leave the lights on for longer then 12 hrs ? Would it grow the buds more or not change from a 12/12 schedule Thanks
You have over a 160 posts and have been a member for over 12 months. Do you really not understand that more than 12 hours and your plants will go back into veg?
Don't change the 12/12 schedule. Your plants may re-veg if you do. This confuses them. Confused plants are liable to turn hermie.
Don't change the 12/12 schedule at all. I only ever change it towards the end of flowering to 10/14 to speed it up but don't do that. Let it be.
I’ve never grown before. I only make tincture/ and tons of edibles for people with Lyme disease and cancer while I give them away. another person suggested going longer and I was making sure info was correct or wrong before I did it. I had googled but didn’t find anything before Posting here.
I disagree with the 12/12 . You can flower with 14/10 It will slow it down a bit but give SLIGHTLY more yield it will not revert to veg . so 14/10 on ok. 10 on 14 off ok. but hurt yields but finish faster . 12/12 is the sweet spot . I have done a lot of 10/14 or 11/13 to save a few grand during hot summer days when the ac just keeps running .
Question for you, I'm in flower now on 18/6. I usually just flip right to 12/12 when I want to flower but I was wondering if there is any advantage to shaving a 1/2 hr a day until u get to 12/12? Sent from my iPad using Grasscity Forum
No no advantage at all. If anything, it will probably do more harm than good. Go to 12/12 right away. You can flower at 14/10 (I have) but I feel more comfortable at 12/12.
