Omg I'm so pissed at the single seed Centre that I have used for years. They sent me several autos instead of photos.

They are still in my tent under 24 hours of light right now. Only the atomic bombs are doing it. I rechecked my order to make sure I did not accidently order autos...and I didnt.

That stinks about the auto seeds. I would give them a shout and see if you can get some comp seeds.

And I'm just an old outdoor guy who almost never uses lights. But many who do say that at least one hour of dark a day will help the plants live a sort of normal life. The sleep time is when the toxins and such is removed.

When do you start shortening the day, and how much shorter each week? Assuming 14-15 hours Length of Day in mid May, you will need to trim 9-10 hours in 9-10 weeks. Chop off too much time all at once, and they might early flower on you.

After daylight savings time Sunday, we should've about almost 14 hours of daylight which increases to 16 and a half and peaks then decreases after June 22

My bad. Almost 12 hours after the 11th of march, and peaks to 15 hours and 16 mins June 22. I think they start flowering under 13 hours

You guys up north have way more sunshine hours than we do down here in Florida. We max out at 14 hours 7 minutes. Makes growing the fast strains tricky until they get used to it.
