Very dependent on strain in my experience. They will probably stop flowering and then two weeks or so later, begin reveg. And then later on when the days get short enough to suit whatever strain you have, they will go into flower again. Messy. I am having the opposite problem right now. My indicas are inside under 16/8 because they cannot be outside without flowering (max day length here is 13.5 and right now it's 13 only.)
...I certainly do "savvy"... and there would certainly be some stress involved. AND I believe that there could be mixed results or reactions. Possibly putting them out in a location where they will not recieve the direct light for the entire 17 hours would help.mountain man said:MM... "somewhat" strain dependent IME/O... but w/ only 3 weeks left untill daylight hours begin receding, "I" believe most often, they will continue to flower.
No, by the end of the 12/12 period inside (2 weeks) it will be June 21st (the days will get shorter) But we still have 16 hours and 45 minutes of daylight! So the plant will be thinking its time to bud by the 12/12. But when i dish them out on the 21st, i am still thinking thats too much light, even tho the days will be shortening.
Savy ??
Yes, that will work. If the plant gets 12 hours of darkness, it will flower. How long depends on your strain. Some as short as 7 weeks, some as long as 13 weeks. Whatcha got?wooooop said:I'm interested in this as well. I've got an outdoor plant, and I'd like to move it into its flowering stage already. If I keep it outside for 12 hours, then move it into darkness for 12 hours, will that make it go into flowering?
How long does the flowering stage normally last?
YES it will re-veg. IF you start the 12/12 cycle, keep it up, even if you take the plant outside--bring it back IN after 12 hours and give it total darkness or you betcha it will re-veg.mountain man said:Can anyone tell me if the plants will want to reveg or keep in the flower stage despite the long hours?
Well..if they "think" summer means 24 hours of light and then go to 15, that feels like Fall--time to flower and set seed. Less light leads to flowering. More hours of light leads to vegging.Hick said:...location dependent..
for a "few" years now, I have been putting clones of various strains, out on June 1, from a sttraight 24/0 light into natural OD light hours(approx. 15 hours) .."I" have yet to have one flower the reveg'....
