flowering on 14/10 instead of 12/12

I've been trying different hrs for a while now, I've only flowered on 11-13 a few times.

I tried vegging on 12-12 1st I wished I'd tried it earlier, after a few crops of vegging/flower with 12-12 i tried 11-13 after sexing with 12-12.

Again I wish I'd tried it earlier, next time I'm trying 10/14hrs.

That's awesome! I've also gone from 18/6 to 12/12 in veg and can only see positives growing indoors with stouter growth and more flower sites. My chilies went crazy with increased production after the switch with more chilies and faster turnover.

There's a positive to negative return for sure but so far I can only see positives in veg. I'm planning on running 6/18 next run in flower to see what it does and how the plants response. I'm currently just keeping a few moms alive and can't wait and looking forward to start flowering again at a new location.

I will update my journal when I'm up and running again!

Cheers!

I look forward to reading the your results and how 6/18 works out for you, that'll be interesting.

I've still got a few things to try, due to space limitations I've been vegging in small pots then re potting after sexing or partially through stretch.

That was re potting after vegging in 12-12 and sexing, I need to try vegging with regular 5 or 8 ltr pots to see if there's any increase or differences in yeild per plant then take it from there... its a work in progress still.

This is why you should never veg an equatorial on 18/6 it's alien to them I think it causes more herms indoors as a result

I love everyone thinking outside the box and trying new things. Resurrection of a 2 year old thread, kinda cool. I am in to see what happens.

I know of someone who grows haze with 7 hours lights on never seen any lower I believe so yeah I be interested in seeing what you find

Subbing up as im interested. Anyone who want to look at other peeps trying this can go and mine @torontoke threads for knowledge.

I've a few pics here of plants i vegged under 12-12 as outlined above.

Idk what happened to the pics from this crop but they were vegged in 12-12 then changed to 11-13 after sexing.

It was the best move I made in growing.

Im going to follow your schedule. Im also trying to maximize plant count in a small space, for breeding purposes.

Maximise plant count, perfect!
I done some rough calculations last week, since January I've grown 40 plants ±, previously that would've taken me around 18mth to grow, my original reason for trying 12-12 was to hunt my favourite phenos.

More than anything imo 11-13 after sexing made the biggest differences to height and speed into flowering I expect 10-14 will help further but I've not gotten that far yet.

Edit...
I should've mentioned I was flowering 2 plants in a pot, my purpose wasn't yeild I only wanted a clone and a tester to smoke.

It works great i get approximately the same per plant that's a result...jfc they're bent like that from the light not each other the pics deceiving.

Longer Photoperiod Substantially Increases Indoor-Grown Cannabis’ Yield and Quality: A Study of Two High-THC Cultivars Grown under 12 h vs. 13 h Days

Indoor-grown Cannabis sativa is commonly transitioned to a 12 h daily photoperiod to promote flowering. However, our previous research has shown that some indoor-grown cannabis cultivars can initiate strong flowering responses under daily photoperiods longer than 12 h. Since longer photoperiods...

Over the years I've met a few growers that swear by flowering 13/11, I always listened to what they had to say but always took it with a grain of salt. Glad to see there's actually evidence to support that some strains benefit from the 13/11 light schedule. Unlike others in the thread going down in hours, after I finish this run I'm going to try 13/11 and see how it goes.
