Quick Question regarding Autos and 12/12 - Auto Flowering - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

Hamburglar · 03-24-2009, 05:47 PM

I am currently running Lowryder #2 at 18/6. It has been flowering for about 4-5 weeks or so. The thing is, I want to start on my 12/12 from seed grow ASAP so that I can harvest by the time I leave to go on holiday in August. Would the already flowering LR2 be negatively affected by flipping it to 12/12 for the last week(s) of it's flowering life?

Any help is appreciated!

It might lower the yield slightly and decrease finishing time. But considering your doing another grow, its nothing to worry about. Its just a tradeoff you have to make.

Go fer it. I have grown them 24/0, 18/6, & 12/12 it just affect your yield.

Sweet! Thanks for the replies.

I was just worried that it would mess up flowering, but I'll switch it over to 12/12 tomorrow, as it's when the lights are on that it smells out my room even with odour control. I'll be popping some beans tonight!

Hi, I don't think it will effect your yield since they are close to harvest time.

ill second that, if there was going to be an effect on it, i doubt itll be much at all, the extra dark will help them finish abit faster.
