Hey guys.
I have 4 Autos and 4 Photos Flowering exactly at the same time (long story) I have 8 weeks till I HAVE to harvest. I've just gone from 20/4 to 13hr on and 11hrs off for 5 days. Should I now go 12/12 or should I stay on 13/11 to give the Autos an extra he of light?

Hey friend if you have a mandatory 8 weeks until harvest, I wouldn't wait...i don't think an hour will make too much difference for the autos but kicking in that 12/12 will at least ensure the photos get going. Is there any other place the autos could go for a few hours each day for some extra light? It would be a pain moving them everyday but just a thought. ✌️

@Grovie6123 Hi there your photoperiod strain (blue dream) wouldn't be Mature in 8 weeks whether you flipped to 12/12 today or not
because it usually takes atleast a week or so for the plant to transition into flowering after the flip.
However if you MUST harvest in that time frame then definately flip now or all you will end up with is a big pile of leaf and tips.
Autos are fine with any Lighting period because they are autoflowering and not dependent on light. So Flip today and the Autos will be fine and it will
atleast give you something to harvest from your photo period strain as well.

If you’re primary objective is harvest in 8 weeks, in this case yes it’s time to switch to 12/12 !

Its an easy answer......Photoperiods NEED 12 hours of Darkness or more to go to flowering Stage................................................. Automatics perform te best under 18 hours of light. So your orientation got to be on the hotoperiods........ I have no experience with automatics under 12 hours LIght... but it may work..... Anything else dont works, because photoperiods need the darkness for 12 hours or more

Should I do a pre harvest defoliation a week before harvest?What are the benefits and consequences of defoliating a week before harvest? Is it good or bad? I have tons of foliage up top and need it to go away. It's too late in flower, but a week before will open up the canopy to the lower bud sites. Any and all help is welcome. Thanks!

Mainlining or any other Tips, recommendations ?I'm a rookie, first time trying mainlining. Currently in second week of flowering. Although from side it looks chaotic, the canopy seems uniform? I recently did a good trim to chop off lower nodes which were under fan leave shade. Any tips I should do ? Increase fert dosage ?

Mainline/Manifold: Trimming fan leaves after done with topping.Finishing up the topping portion of mainlining. P2 to be Nebula-Haze style and P3 to be Nugbuckets style. I'll be trimming growth tips other than from the 8 cola sites on each. Still keep un-shaded fan leaves below those levels? A lot online shows all lower fan leaves trimmed

Trimming/Defoliation late vegetation, just before flip to 12/12?I'm unsure about trimming/defoliation at this point: What's the goal for just before switching to 12/12? I've read to veg until your height is 1/2 to 1/3 the final height supported by the setup. I seem to have plenty of room still. How much do I trim under the canopy?

How do I drop my RH down when nothing works? Check Diary. Will defoliation be a good idea? Open tent door and leave it open?My 2x2 is starting to crowd. This is driving the RH to over 70%. Should I defoliate to help with crowding and RH? Or should I just leave it alone? RH in lung room is 48% Exhaust fan, high or low with a dehumidifier, doesn't work. What should I do? Defoliate? Thanks! Check diary.
