I wouldnt UNLESS there's a heat issue. My rationale is to get every lil bit. Just my opinion. Stay cool foodoo lolThe tops of my.girls are foxtailing in week 9. Next round I'll be scrogging and keeping them.shorter and further from the bulbs however I really don't feel like 1k watts right now is doing anything other than stressing them and causing more heat .
I'll be powering down the ballasts tonight.

Read all kinds of debate about having lights completely off for a few days before harvest (some ppl up to two weeks). Main reason is to prevent new growth. Some say it makes it frostier, but idk about that.
What do your trichs look like thru your scope?
I know my cookie crosses don't like strong direct light.
But that's a tasty lookin nug.
For what it's worth, I still do the 48 hour dark period, but also have no idea if it's actually doing anything. It doesn't seem to be hurting it, & in the absence of some scientific evidence, that's enough for me.
As far as turning down the light, in most of the world (the equator the least affected) the sun naturally becomes less intense as flowering time comes around for photo's. It sits lower in the sky & of course the earth is moving farther away from it, so it seems reasonable to turn it down if you are getting ft's
One thing i never did is go completely opposite i mean from 12 /12 to raising light hrs ,, So you finish up around 14 hrs of light,, now i might get some people thinking she is going to reveg or what ever but i forced flowered a plant out door left it in dark for 48 hrs then back into light for first 2 weeks i kept her at 12 / 12 when my daylight was actually 18 hrs of light :)
on 3rd week i have left plant outside non stop not covering it or nothing presently @ 17.5 hrs of say light and let me tell you all shes flowering made here is 28 days from flip .. i tell yeah big nugs already
So i am thinking going to try raising light hrs from 12 / 12 to final week 15 - 16 View attachment 525162 hrs on
Dr fever what strain you playin dr with?
Also curious on the strain. The node spacing is really tight.
I messed with something similar with my newer test plant. I let it fully transition to flower, then gave it 3 weeks. I then put it back to 18/6 for 4-5 days. It remained in flower but grew a lot. I pulled it out though, back to 11/13.
All I really wanted to see was if it would stunt the plant, or cause some sort of ill effect, if I accidentally set a timer wrong & didn't catch it for a few days. The plant was/is fine. I don't advise it, it was an experiment, but it seems if it's only for a short time, the plant will survive.
I just want to understand what you are saying so I can learn from what you are doing. Do you mean you plan on leaving that fully transitioned flowering plant out for 18/6 & bringing it down to 12/12? (I can tell you from experience that won't work with a photo) Or going from 12/12 up to 14/10 during the last couple weeks?
