I'm not sure you can that late in development - I think if you leave some smaller buds and stuff on the bottom and cut the main buds off it'll be possible, but it would take a while so I'm not sure if it'd be worth it to you...how long has it been flowering? If you WERE to try it I'd just wait til the buds on it have finished then cut them off and leave everything on the plant you can then give it a day or so darkness and stick it back into veg - I'm wondering about trying this myself but I can't say personally if it'd work or not...

It is certainly true! You can switch the lights back to 16/8 or 24/0 and the buds will slowly die off and new growth will grow out of them. The first new leaves can be a little mutated looking but after a node or two of growth the leaves start growing normal 5-9 finger patterns. Before switching from 12/12 to a veg light cycle some people like to give them like 2 solid days of darkness to "reset" them. I never did this I just set em back in my veg room and watch em grow again.

For your particular plant I would hope you are going to harvest those buds first though lol? Just make sure you leave a few small buds at the very bottom. This is where the new growth will start again.

Good luck.

If you harvest the bud first do NOT harvest all the bud, leave some buds at the bottom as this is where your new growth will come from. It will do nothing for 4-5 weeks and appear dead before getting going again (if it takes, works about 80 percent for me)...

It depends really. 14 hours of light from sunrise to sunset would allow them to continue flowering because they arent getting direct light at dusk and dawn. If you're talking about 14 hours of direct light then I dunno. Ask in the outdoor forum to be honest.

its actually about 13hours from sunset to sunrise. but 14 from fisrt light to last light. its about 8 hours of direct sun. i already posted this question in the outdoor forum twice and the aussie growning thread and it wasnt answered so i used hijaking this thread as a last resort....sorry Op
