Thanks for the reply guys . I'll drop it to 12/12 . I was reading on a thread that the extra hour can help a bit more growth

I was going to ask the same question, I am also new to this . This is my very first grow. Is there signs to watch for that l Indicates she's ready..I feel she is..she's 3ft , she sprouted Sept 29th. Coming up on 8 weeks now of veg. I ran 24hrs lights on for the first 6 weeks and for the last 2 weeks I've been doing 20/4..
Would she be ok if I did 12/12 tonight? Or should I Ease her on by doing 18/6 for a week or two then 12/12? Or can I jump her right to 12/12

When I flip- i go to 11.5 on 12.5 off
Then I subtract a half hour of light every 2 weeks
I end at 10 on or even 9.5 depending on how long they go, however with this method I am always beginning harvest at 8 weeks with the first plant and I go from there.
This is just like nature- in the fall with the days getting shorter.
In veg you want light for growth- in flower dark to stimulate flowering.
Some will say don’t go under 12 hours of light- but I don’t see any pictures of plants with chunky buds finished in 8 weeks- which I have done with consistency-

Thank you so much..I will take your advice. I have her sister who's a few weeks behind her. Plus I topped her to soon..she maybe had 2-3nods on when I did..I told my bigger girl that night and I got to cut happy..she Survived. Just real short.. they are week - week and a half apart from each other. I was worries and mad I topped so early but it was a learning experience
