I'm wondering whether I should give them 12 hours of darkness and postpone the schedule by 20 minutes. Or just keep them on the regular schedule and they only get 11hrs 40mins of darkness tonight. What do you think?!
that little 20 minutes isnt going to do anything! flowering hormones are so strong, 20 minutes isnt going to do nything. i do that all the time. some growers try to push more than 12 on flowering, but i dont know of any proof that it works better.

ive done quite a few experiments with switching plants from flowering to veg, clipping flowering clones, etc. and some strains will not even switch back because of how strong their flowering hormones are! (sour d is tough)

ive also grown hydro in clear containers for months w no algea!

ive also been trying to get my flower room to having the lights on 12 at night to manage heat. to do this, ive been cutting it back an average of 30 min a day with no problems at all. my advice would be to take it easy and dont beat yourself up ofer stuff like that.

i also purposely let light in my flower room through the cracks of the doors to mimic twilight which is natural. i also have air purifiers in there and they have pretty bright leds on them too. no problems colorful fast growing flowers!
bluetooth Reviewed by bluetooth on . Day 46 pics... am I on track? OK, here's just a few pics. I've had some major problems including spider mites, fungus gnats, and root aphids. The spider mites were easy to wipe out, but I think the root aphids have irreversibly damaged my plants. They started to yellow very early.... one Mr Nice was entirely yellow by day 25 and had to be killed. I know my yield will be impacted, but I think the smoke will be great!! I think I may have enough to not need to buy anymore from dispensaries until next harvest, whereupon Rating: 5
