is it set in stone to use 12 hour on and off or can i provide more darkness like 11 on 13 off? is it that much of a difference and what would change from it? by the way i have one plant its under three 20 watt cfls and im almost on my second week of flowering
 
12/12 is the standard. There are theories here and there about different hours of light during flowering. Just stick with the 12/12...its tried, tested and proven over and over and over all across the globe.
 
oh i was just wondering cuz it seems my plant actually grows in the dark. like i wont notice any growth during the time the lights are on and ill look at the plants b4 the lights go off and the light will be about 2 inches from the plant i come in the morning to turn on the light and i have to adjust the light cuz they would have grown up during dark hours.

When you initialy take your plant from 24/0 or what have you and put it into 12/12 it will stretch for a few days, after a few days the stretching will slow down and come to a halt while the flower production starts. :)
 
thats what i noticed today i didnt notice any growth so u just answered my next question lol. it seems to have stopped growing. i have new growth too. so is the next step of the plant is to show sex?
 
its about 2 months old and its goin on its second week of flowering. its indica and it seem shorter than what it should be but its healthy and extremely bushy
 
ya after your stretching slows/stops sex should be apparent now or very soon. I am sure you know how to sex them but Ill attach this image just in case :)

Seems like your plant should have shown u sex by now (if the flowering extreme stretch phase is over).

Post some pics :) its just not fair that we don't get any eye candy :p
