Hey don and friends, just had a question, maybe someone here can help me. So I'm about 4 weeks into flower of my first grow, now I've had my plants on 12/12 but I'm reading some info that suggests cutting the light back to 11/13 or even 10/14 will increase the yield and trigger the plant to produce faster making it think its running out of time and sun. Wondering has anyone ever tried this and what kind of results did you have? Any advice would be greatly appreciated
Hey Gogreen,
So you ve had em under 12/12 for 4 weeks now, and i gather youre getting keen on smoking some of your girls goodies soon as possible But mate, PLEASE HAVE SOME PATIENCE!! Now i am not 100% on if giving her less light will increase your yield by a major amount. It may speed her up finishing a little faster yes, but not sure bout much gain.
12/12 is just the necessary amount of dark to make the plant trigger flowering hormones, so giving extra dark as said may speed her up, she wont get much stretch tho given less light during flower. Thats just my opinion mate, she is in your hands! But long as she has 12 hours of un-interupted dark she ll give you some buds
Goodluck and Happy Harvesting. SMOKEMUP
