Most of the plant growth and flower developement is based on photosynthesis, shoter photoperiod less developement.

But hey, it's your plants.

Hi Mac,

The reason for me cutting light back severely on 2 plants is due to their inability to progress. I used a 12/12 on them for several weeks, yet they remained in early flower stage. In theory, simulating the equivalent amount of natural light available in late October should jump start them. I have a third plant about 3 weeks away from harvest, this one I have put back into a 12/12 cycle. It's a bit soon to document any results, and I've never tried this before. It's simply based upon what I have read by others. Some will even increase to 14 hours of light. Should I increase light during final few weeks for plant #3?.

Have a good week,

Biz
