Hey guys, want to switch lights to 12/12 so can start getting the Gorilla Glue that never flowered going, the others still finishing up post flush and need to cut them early next week, will it seriously lesson the final crop of other girls to switch before? D

Heya, Because you're so late into flowering I wouldn't be concerned with switching the lights. If it has any effect at this point it would be to actually mature the buds a little faster. Goodluck and cheers!

So in the end, due to how long it will take the gorilla glue to fully flower as shes photoperiod, I have taken her outside and we'll see how she far she goes, not the best and I don't think she'll even make a harvest in time but I just didn't plan for an auto grow to last as long as that will last in the tent D

When the plant is getting less light each day, it “thinks” winter is coming. This is why giving a plant 12 hours of darkness a day causes it to start flowering. However, some strains (especially sativas and hazes) tend to take a long time to finish maturing. In this situation, shortening the day period will help plants mature faster. For example you could try switching to a 10-14 schedule (10 hours light, 14 hours of complete darkness) or even 8-16. If you have an auto-flowering strain that is not maturing, try switching from the standard 18-6 schedule to a 12-12 schedule just like for photoperiod cannabis plants. The longer nights can help encourage plants to finish flowering sooner if you have one that’s taking too long. Important Note: Reducing light hours means lower yields. Switching from 12/12 to 14/10 shouldn’t make a significant change, but it’s still something to consider when you’re making that decision.

Personally, I'd wait that extra week, before switching to 12/12.. The others won't exactly grow much bigger, but you'll probably lose out on trichomes and strength.
