i have never gone that low . i have ran 10 on 14 off in flower before . finished a week early with significantly lower yields. only tried it once with one strain tho.so my results werent very scientific

I have experimented a few times with a gradual daylength reduction similar to what happens outdoors, as opposed to a sudden flip. That definitely does increase yield without lengthening overall flower time by much.

thanks for the tip so jus to make sure i got this u can increase yeild by starting trasnsition stage and bloom stage at like 12/12 then for aggressive go 10/14 and then ripen maybe 8/16 and i was planning on cuttin lights off for 4-5 days i was told to a week to strengthen potency and better the bud but its my first time and i dont wanna wait forever not saying im gonna rush it but i wanna experiment with my stuff
