Better yet- get a good rooted cut from each plant. While they're rooting, flip the mom's back into flower. Pay attention to which plant is best for your style, taste, neurochemistry.

Meantime, re-veg the cuttings, and when you have a favorite, grow it out as a cutting source.

Then you won't need to worry about it anymore.


But seriously, flipping the photoperiod around is profoundly stressful to the plants, and will produce an unsatisfactory structure- you should really try to avoid it.

And this is exactly how you produce male flowers on a female plant.

Once you've flipped a plant, finish it out- but take a cut before you flip.
rhizome Reviewed by rhizome on . hey peeps. got a light cycle question I have been growing my second generation and was wondering, I switched from 18hr cycle to 12 hour to filter out the males, (incidentally I only had one male from 12 seedlings) well they started to show sex, i separated the male and put them back on a 20 hour cycle, but they are kinda going crazy with buds all over the plants... is this cool, or should I switch back to 12hr to just let them bud????
