He he.....yep. I know it's counter to what we've been trained, to keep that strict 12/12. But it's the 12 dark that triggers flowering, not the 12 light part. Also, unless you're dealing with an equatorial variety, think about summers where most of us live. At the end of June (the opposite for southern hemisphere) we get what? 15, 16 hours of sun? By the end of July, when almost all plants have triggered to flower, we're still getting 14 hours of light. Almost all plants will actually flower with a 13 on / 11 off schedule. But, you're STILL giving them the 12hrs of dark, you're just shifting, gradually.
Yes, I've done this, and both ways, by adfing an hour of light a day, and by subtracting an hour of light a day, depending on which way would get me to the goal faster.
Even taking all of this and putting it aside, even if it makes you nervous........so wait. Wait until you've done 2 weeks of on 2pm/off 2am. Don't change anything. Then do the shift. Because then you've already put the vital first 2 weeks of signaling under your belt and they'll be on their way.
But......don't worry, you can do it. ;)
note taken I will lay off on the pruning for a while. You guys are awesome I love talking about these plants and my girl is tired of hearing about em. The clawing you see in some of leaves should I be concerned? I had a nitrogen tox late in my veg stage using the wrong nutes and I had to flush both plants twice to correct it. I haven’t had any problems since. My ph is a little high but it’s coming down with every watering. Any ideas
