HELP QUICK! Can I switch back from 12/12?

[skunk.ninja]

OG Kush been vegging under 4ft T5's for 2 weeks 24/7. Getting different opinions. I flipped them on Friday at about a foot tall. One guy said to flip 'em now. Another who is actually growing this strain said to let 'em veg for another couple weeks under the HPS then flip.
Can I flip them back to veg schedule (18/6) under the HPS without stressing them out or screwing them up?

My first post so heres what I've got.
4X8 tray, 2X 1000HPS, 16 plants, 3gal pots.

I don't know. I would think that would mess up the plant.

Well, the short answer is: yes, you can switch back from flowering, but would you want to? Probably not. They'll go back into veg, but you'll lose time while they're recovering and adjusting. I would just leave them in flower. How long did you veg?

you should of let them veg longer.I grow that strain along with PK. if you start flowering when there a foot tall you should reach about 22 inches when they are done and if you do everything right expect 1 and a half ounces. mine are a little under 3 feet and I pull 2 and a half. if you just switched them over to 12/12 I would try to veg them out a little more

I just adjusted the timer, I'm going back to 18/6. I felt in my gut they should have vegged longer, but was persuaded to flip 'em. Wish me luck.
Also got a couple Pisces? Kush coming. Never heard of it, anyone?
Thanks

It will stress your plants a little bit for a few weeks until they start to veg again. Its really not worth the extra time once you have switched them to 12/12.

I have to agree, plus the time you lose waiting for them to switch to flower again.

Why even leave an answer at all if you have no idea? Do you really need credit for your posts that badly?

If you flip back the plants will slower revert back to veg, with some risk of springing some hermaphrodites. Figure out how much space you can work with, and then consider that your plants will triple in weight and double to triple in height during flower varying depending on the size of your pots.

The length of vegetative stage correlates with yield and not THC potency.

i feel the worst danger to a crop is humans freaking out... mabe you need to smoke some to mellow out?? you should of just left them alone, let them bud, get your crop and let them veg longer next time. (ps) you have a nice set up (4X8 tray, 2X 1000HPS, 16 plants, 3gal pots)

I wouldn't have done it, but more power to you.

Wow what a hypocrite. You have 711 post and no rep. Ohh and your answer for the guy wasn't really helpful either so shut the fuck up stupid.

Good news..they didn't skip a beat. Normal veg growth...taking off. Worked out great. I just filled the other 4x8 tray with 16 OG, Pisces, & Purple wreck. All about the same age. Veg for another week or so then flip.....

Ok my first grow so give me a break, I pulled out my males(I think?) Now I have a plant with a bud on the cola and little yellow sack forming below. Is this a Hermie? and should I remove it? My big crop of 15 plants is getting smaller as I remove plants. I am into my 4th week of flowering with a 250 HPS a UFO 90 watt LED and a T5 badboy 4x4 horizontally.I use a dehumidifier to keep humidity at approx 45% and a stack fan in the closet with a patton aircirculator blowing in a cracked door of the closet. The plants after removing the tall males are about 20 inches high. So any little yellow balls plants are males? Can I get some advice? Thank You Jimmy Jack
