extending dark cycle?

[urajiz]

hi guys just a quick question for some of the pros out there was wonderin about running teh dark cycle during flowering. i knwo ive read here and there about this but more looking for someone that can verify if its worth doing.
im 8 weeks into flowering and things seem to be going well im guessin from lookin that they have about 2 weeks to go till there ripe. ive stopped feeding nuts and went with plain water to finish (hear that this helps flush the plants of left over chemicals ? ) there in a ebb n flow btw . but back to the subject is it worth adding 2 hours to the dark cycle say 14/10 rather than 12/12 or even 16/8? does this help me at all or am i just wasting my time thinkin about it
thanks in advance for whomever can shed some light on this for me
peace

There really isn't any proven data out there that suggests messing with the light cycle at the end of flower does anything for you. Its sounds like your doing everything right so leave it at 12/12 unless you want hermies.:thumbsup:

I went 10/14 by accident once, switched them back to 12/12 with mininal problems. Maybe extend it 1 hr. this and then another next week, see what happens.

Don't bother

if you shorten up the time of light you give the plant in flower (9-10 hours on) the entire flower cycle... it will make your plant finish flowering quicker but you wont get as much as the same plant under 12/12 lighting

Cutting the light down to 10 on...... the last 1-2 weeks..... wont do to much of anything
