Quick question...I thought my girls were on a 12/12 schedule but turns out the timer keys must have been bumped and they are really on a 10 on 14 off schedule. Im not sure how long they have been on a 10/14 schedule. If I change the lights back to 12/12 will it interupt the flowering? I would imagine that the plants would think the season is changing since the light would be increasing...is there a way to properly fix this? They seem to be flowing normally on the 10/14...I have 2 clones that I flowered early, they have milky trichs and are in week 8. Any advice is appreciated.

I'd leave it be, S. L. G.
Couple hours more light will not make much difference at this point.
Certainly not enough to risk the stress.
No want nuts, yah?
Alo ha,

Hey Weezard...thanks for your advice. I also have a few other girls that are 2 and 4 weeks into flower...should i still leave it? Im trying to figure out a regular rotation...

Hmmm.
That might be worth the risk.
Just add a half hour of "day" every other day for 8 days if you are the cautious type.
Or, just set your timer to 12/12 and tell them to "cope".;)
I have bumped them an hour in both directions without any problems.
Don't really know about an abrupt 2 hour change though. Never did it.
I was hoping that someone who really knows about this would weigh-in and educate both of us.:cool:
Helloooo out there?!
Anybody?!
Aloha,
Weeze
