Lighting issues

[turksteelman]

Unfortunately, I had to go into 12/12 sooner than I wanted. It has been 4 days in the 12/12 and I can now see what sex they are except for one of them. Can I go back to 24/7 with no problems? I have 1 plant that didn't sex yet that is rather small and I want to let it veg more. Because of space constraints, it is in the same closet as my other 3 females so they all need to be on the same schedule. I would like to give it 2 more weeks in veg before I put in the Bloom ferts and let them rip! Can I make this switch successfully?

No, you want to transition it back to 24. Maybe 1 wk to 24. 1 wk on 24 then 12/12?

Yes, I would like to go back to 24/7 for a couple weeks and then go to 12/12. Do you think this will present any big problems?

Okay, I just understood your post Chronisseur. You mean that I should take a week to transition back to 24/7. Got it. Thanks,

No.

You should stay at 12/12 and let it finish unless a) you are just DYING to force some herms or b) you are putting it back in 12/12 to reveg for at LEAST 3 weeks and take cuttings.

Remember it is stil going to grow.

When you put it back in veg, just do it. Nothing fussy, no transition (that is even more stressful, since you are almost GUARANTEED to turn on the lights late or whatever a couple times). Just stick that thing back in your veg room. IMHO you should not try to flower it at all for now, just take clones and flower THEM, and flower the mother down the road when she gets too big.
