cutting light back prior to setting starts out

[krazy2006]

[align=left][/align]does anyone know if cutting back light on starts, from 18 to 12 hours, one week prior to setting out, will help produce a short, bushy type plant which holds up better to the rains and winds--wil not break down so bad. i've heard this may help--produces a plant that both grows and trys to bud at the same time, putting most of its energy into forming thick buds on squat plants , with little branch wasted growth.

I have not heard that and personally would not risk it, as multiple changes in light cycle are a good way to induce herms.
I fyou would like short bushy plants, look for that GENETIC trait in the strains you pick.
