Oops- might have messed up and have wrong lighting???
Rush2112started grow question 4 years ago
I might have confused the two strains I’m growing and have been treating a photo period as if it was an auto (18/6). In week 5 lots of preflower but no real top buds formed yet, I’m wondering if I screwed up with too much light. Should I switch to 12/12? Will 18/6 hurt a photo

Hi there!
Hmmmm.. I think you are mistaken now and everything is like it should be.
If you are giving 18hours of light and 6 hours of darkness and the plant is pre-flowering then it most definitely is an autoflower strain. Photoperiodic cannabis will start to flower only when there is 12 hours or more uninterrupted darkness.
When you want to flip an photo in to the flowering you change the lights to 12/12 and only after this the transformation begins. So 18(lights on)/6(lights off) will not hurt your photo but is actually considered optimal light schedule for vegetation!! 👌

Thanks Shagrath. I do have some photo periods that are also showing pistils in the nodes but surely they have not been in absolute darkness for 12 hours in their 5 week lifetime so how is it they are preflowering? How do strains that are grown outdoors switch to flower without the strict 12 hour darkness phase? Thanks for the help

The FLIPGetting ready for the good ol’e flip. What do most do you guys do for the light schedule?
Is it better say (on/off) 12am/12pm, or 6am/6pm.
Worried about daytime activities in that room.
My schedule will accommodate just about anything, so what are you thoughts?

Putting back into veg before pistils and sexual maturity?Can you veg even after a 12/12 from seed has been in flower room 3 weeks shes just not big enough and would also like to top her so I really am considering it, the reason being is I can't see one pistil yet which means she's not mature, I don't see why it would make a difference

One main cola or multi nodes?On a 12/12 from seed would you remove all side shoots to allow for one fat chunky main cola or just let her do her thing? First time using this method. Advice would be appreciated.. thank you 👌🌱

First grow tips and strains pls?Looking at starting my first grow, I have a 120x120x200cm tent, and a 1000w LED light. What auto strains would you recommend for a complete beginner? Any tips in general would be great too. I'm hoping to have 8 plants, but generally quality is more important to me than quantity.Setup. Strain - Autoflowering

Should I Scrog? Confused!My garden seems healthy despite me. Guys I'm confused as to what I should do. Plans are to ScrOG at 18" (which I have never done) with a screen that is 3' x 4'. This screen would cover the entire container area plus about 4" over around the edges. Should ScrOG or just let grow?
