ive been on 12-12 for abt 45 days or so now..I really dont think theyre done yet but I am moving in 2 weeks..I was wondering if an hour or two more of dark would maybe make them finish quicker since it would be more like the end of the growing season..? that was my train of thought at least lol.. Ive heard of leaving them in dark for 24 or so right before you harvest. So should I just keep em 12/12 and cut em when I have to or what? Pics asap. Thanks

Hey bro I read somewhere on here that if u go 8 on 8 off u can gain a day of flowering every third day. Ill try and find that thread for u to check out but that's the only thing I've heard. or just pick early but I kno u don't wanna do that

no dont do that. at that point your plant might stop producing buds and trying to save its energy to survive.

The only thing I would attempt would be 11 on 13 off.

Or 11 1/2 on 12 1/2 off, to speed things along.

I've read this somewhere:
Compared to 12/12:
Longer hours dark: faster flowering, lower yeild.
Longer hours light: slower flowering, more yield.

But what do you guys think about this?:

14-18 hours lights ON, and 12 hours lights OFF?
(yes, a day would be 26-30 hours long, and drift - but will the plant care? Will it finish faster? Remember, it still has 12 hours dark)
