I have heard both yes and no, but does cutting back light hours during flowering (from 12 on 12 off to 10 on 14 off) speed up maturity??:wtf:

i dont think so..since you know the flowers need light to grow properly.

I have heard they mature faster but the yield suffers because they don't have as much time to develop.

stick with 12/12 flowering ... you can play with the hours of light during the vegetation stages, if you need to experiment, but leave your flowering at 12/12 ... although I have experimented a lot, I always return to the '18/6 and 12/12' schedules ... everybody has their own way, it's OK, it's a WEED :jointsmile:
