18-12 light question

Fleabusstarted grow question 4y ago

I had a tent of 10 plants...when I changed the lighting cycle to 12 hours from 18 hours. I discovered I had 6 males and 4 smaller females. Would it hurt to go back to veg and restock with some clones for the six males in order to get more size? Its been alittle over 1 week at 12h

After you remove your males,you can re-veg and refill but you have to count the time and the money loss because of more electricity consume. Now,i think the best idea is to remove males and let them go! Good luck whit your grows 👊🏽🍀

Yellowing Budsights Early Fower (organic grow)I fed the plants yesterday and noticed that it was too warm in the tent. (86F) So I change the light time to 9pm-9am. As a result, the plants had 24 hours of darkness in the tent. When I turned on the light today I noticed that some of the buds had yellowed. pH (soil): 7,8-8,4

When to train a plant / new growth GG #4 clone Couple things. Is it time to start thinking about training this plant? Also I have not seen it produce these little bits at the end here - maybe just very early stage of leaf growth i personally have never seen before but looks different. An ingrown leaf? Is that a thing?

Preflower Faster, Finish Faster (Autos)I am in final flush (DWC) of ILGM Zkittlez Auto, and finished almost a week early (topped at day 20). I have lab-style grow room/cabinet that maintains humidity, nutrients, etc. with little deviation to schedule/plan. Will an auto finish faster if it can get to preflower faster?
