Hello everyone happy holidays ! Ok so I always stay on 12/12 in flowering sta:blsmoke:ge all the way to the end I'm growing a strain called canterbury green and have heard the last 2 weeks in flowering you can go to 10/14 light schedule . I want to try this because we all tinker around to find out what works best I'm going into week 7 so next Monday I can start the 10/14 if it will benefit my girls in anyway. So what do you all think I should do stay 12/12 or do the 10/14 and any info on this as well would be greatly appreciated. Thanks everyone peace

Based on my experience: The longer your dark period, the sooner you will harvest but you will also have less in weight. 12/12 is used for a reason. If you need to harvest an 8-week variety in say 48-days then you could increase the dark cycle by an hour or hour and a half. But you will get lighter smaller buds by doing it.

I always run 12/12 all the way through I'm just try'n to see why people switch the last 2 weeks in flowering and would it benefit my ladies . There has to be a reason for people doing this and from what I have read a lot of people do switch to a 10/14 the last week to finish up. I have heard because ofcourse you want to try and simulate natural conditions the plant would go through outside.thank you for the fast reply anyone else??

I thought that the plant needs at least 12hrs of darkness going with 15 on last couple weeks is something I will have to read up on . I just have heard a lot of people doing the 10/14 and if the reason is so the ladies finish faster but with less weight that's something I wouldn't do not in a rush. Thank you all for your input this is a great site with great people!
