answered grow question 4y ago
Does not make sense as the math don't add up. There is 24 hours per day. What happened to the extra 4 hours?

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.

Auto wouldn’t flower until 12/12, switch back?
So I have this cream mandarine auto that would not flower. I had it at 12/12 for he last two weeks and it finally started. Should I just keep it at 12/12 until harvest or can I switch it back to 18/6 to speed it up? Will it re veg? Relative noob...

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?

Sexing Seeds
What is the best way to identify seed sex? Flower and switch back to veg or take a cutting from each and flower those? I ultimately want to end up with a Mother from the seeds.

How should I trigger flowering?
I am trying to get my plants to flower. I have switched to a 12/12 schedule, but this does not seem to be changing anything. Should I perhaps give it 24 hours of darkness first?

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?

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!

Weird Autos (RQS NLA, same strain) still vegging day 50. Only some preflower, but nice plants. WHAT would YOU do?!
This is the most unpredictable auto flowers I've ever had. It will be 50 days soon and only preflower on one plant. Ive used a 12/12 light schedule on autos before. Should I try this on these plants? If, so keep it 12/12 untill the end? No turning back to 20/4 when they go?
