New to growing, My question is this. I understand that you need 12 hr light, 12 hr dark, to trigger flowering. But after flowering has begun can I switch back to 24 hr Light? I'm using 400 watt HPS 10'' from tips. I'm also new to any forum.
No I don't want them to become Hermie, But a friend said they will grow faster.Cole said:If you do that it might become a hermie,but why would you switch back to 24/0 ?
That crazy vancouver guy said:the 12/12 cycle MUST remain constant, or you will revert the girl back to veg.

Light cycles are important, Lights on for vegging, you will do well to allow the lights to run 24/7. Some folks will swear that you need to go 18/6, but that isn't neccesarily true. I have vegged my grow at 24/7 and am very satisfied with the growth. Flowering, there you want to go 12/12, this has been proven over many a good year by the real premier growers and developers.
I understand the concept of get them into flower and then hop up the flowering cycle with increased lighting times, BUT it will only stress your girls and put them back into the vegging condition if you alter back to more light hours.
Good Luck my friend
smoke in peace
