switching dark period before flowering

vynath · Mar 17, 2015

When I decide to start flowering is it ok for me to keep the lights on for 31 hours prior in order for me to start my 12 hr cycle of darkness at 6am?

I want to do this in order to control temperature during flowering. Will one 31hr period of light after weeks of 18 be bad?

Better explained my lights go off every day st 5PM and turn back on at 11PM. Instead of turning them off at 5PM can i keep them on til 6am the next morning and turn them off for their 12/12 cycle for flowering?

Id let them turn off at 5 and then switch to 12/12

the problem is I want my lights on ar night not during the day. that way the plants don't over heat because it's been getting really hot here

So having them on for 31 hours will not harm the plant if it's just one time, in veg?

Would you say it's a good time to start flowering? I'm 3 weeks into veg from seeds. They're doing pretty well but I want to get more than an ounce or two per plants.

Btw first grow if you couldnt tell by my question earlier haha they're OG Kush sativa dominant hybrid.

Those are some beautiful ladies. And you could flower now but really no telling how much you'll get. I veg for 2 months and then flower. I would let yours go for another week or 2.
