You could, however you will see reduced yield, autoflowers do best with 18-20 hours of light a day. Happy growing.

Increasing potential yield in the trans. flower stretch?
Hello beautiful GD community! I had a question regarding 'milking' my yield. I've got a decent spread going on all of my girls. However, I'm a little worried about the empty space in the tent. Any recommended training techniques to increase yield? Not too invasive; they're autos.

Erratic light cycles for the first week
Any experience with keeping a seedling in 12/12 to begin with, then switching over to 18/6 after the first week? Because I did that this time for tech reasons, and I do wonder if I produced a hermie. My own notion is that it will just set me a week back perhaps. Anyone know tho?

The FLIP
Getting 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?

Hi, I have a question .. i found something interesting in the internet about shortening flowering stage by changing light schedule from 12/12 to 10/10. Is that makes sense ?

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 👌🌱

We're Brand New! All of these have been, (we think) Veg. for at least 4 weeks; the two big girls certainly longer. We're thinking about 12/12 a week from today. Any thoughts, comments, input would be welcomed!

Grow Technique
I have a short tent so the plants shouldn't grow higher than 70cm. What would you recommend to make sure it doesn't grow long? Maybe flowering early?

Oops- might have messed up and have wrong lighting???
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
