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 ?

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

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

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!

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?

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 👌🌱

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?
