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 ?

answered grow question 3y 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?

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

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?

The FLIP
Getting ready for the good ol’e flip. What do most do you guys do for the light schedule? Is it better say (on/off) 12am/12pm, or 6am/6pm. Worried about daytime activities in that room. My schedule will accommodate just about anything, so what are you thoughts?

First grow tips and strains pls?
Looking at starting my first grow, I have a 120x120x200cm tent, and a 1000w LED light. What auto strains would you recommend for a complete beginner? Any tips in general would be great too. I'm hoping to have 8 plants, but generally quality is more important to me than quantity.

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?

If this was yours, how would you proceed?
Going into week 6. I just clipped the bad leaves that show in the picture and will be switching to the growing stage. I plan to do the 36 hours of darkness first. Already changed the water and it has the bloom solution instead of the grow solution. What would you do now?

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?
