If you HAD to put it in 12-12 to flower leave it there, if it just worked out like that you can change it back, in steps if you can.

Autos can flower on 18/6 as well as 12/12. Flipping it back to 18/6 won't cause it to hermie unless you go back and forth to 12/12 and 18/6 several times. Which will cause it to stress. Its your choice to pick which one 12/12 or 18/6. 18/6 means more light, more GROW but bigger light bill. 12/12 can still grow but it will have less light to peak its potential.

Hey Growmie,
No, once you flip it to 12/12 you leave it there, turning it back could cause the plant to hermie. Hopefully, I answered your question and remember Happy Growing and Free your mind one puff at a time.

Bud too close to the lightHi. The main bud on one is 10cm from the light. I cant raise the light any higher and have a bit more vertical growth to go. Shall I remove the bud at a lower artery, or leave it and bend it around the light somehow?? Don't want to loose the main bud but will if I have to?!?

How much on average will buds fatten up in the last 3 weeks of flowering?Hi I'm new to growing weed, I'm about 5 weeks into an 8 week flowering cycle and I'm just wondering how much on average the buds will fatten up in the last 3 weeks. They have been filling out quite rapidly over the last week will this rate of growth continue for the next 3 weeks?

Should I have thinned out more shoots b4 I sent it to flower?Hi, I was wondering if on future I should thin out the shoots a bit more b4 i turn it to flower to get more light penatration down lower and not be so cramped together. Would i be better of having less buds that may grow bigger or would I just be losing yield if I did that.
