    I have some plants that are a month old in 18/6 they are all 8-9" tall and are growing thier 6th node is it ok to kick um back to 12/12 now or should i wait a week or two?

    Thanks for the help

    You can start flowering now, especially if it's a SOG grow, if not then wait until they are 12" then start the flowering,
    good luck

    You can but they are going to top out at a total height of around 3. Try pinching/topping/pruning/FIM to the growth top and give the side shoots a chance to catch up to the main stalk (about a week if in hydro) and then you will double or triple your final yield

    stylez man let me help you out bro..

    Here is the deal we are talking light cycle. 18/6 is the amout of time the light is on 18 on 6 off this is early in the development of weed plants known as vegitative state. after about 4-6 weeks you put the plant into flowering in order to do that you need to put the plants on a 12 hour photoperiod that is 12/12 and that is 12 hours on 12 hours off hope this helped you out allittle.
