13 hour nights/11 hour days

I've heard this technique hastens maturity during flowering, and is a viable option near the end of flowering cycle if you need, have any of you guys ever tried?

[Mr. Clandestine]

Many growers use this method, and I've never heard of any maladies (like hermaphrodites) becoming of them. Reason being, like most annuals, cannabis is a fairly tolerant plant when it comes to the amount of light it receives.

Some growers attest that the extra hour of light helps to produce more THC laden trichomes, but I haven't read of any extensive studies that prove this to be conclusive.

If it works for you, grow with it! :rastasmoke:

i've heard the same i might try it

[twoguysupnorth]

not being picky, but he said 13 hrs of darkness to hasten the process. i wonder if 11 of light would make it quicker, or 13 hrs of light would make it better.

Oops...you're right. I had just worked a 20 hour day before I initially responded to this post. So, needless to say, my eyes & my brain probably weren't functioning at 100% at the time! :stoned:

Sounds like a homework project to me! :weedpoke:
