Indoor Interesting question

[gettingreen]

I have three photos in my tent that have been flowering for 14 days & 12/12 (seeded and veged 20/4 for 4 weeks). I would like to plant three autos @ 20/4. Can I switch back to 20/4 with out losing too much yield on the photos?

My ....Just plant and grow your autos under 12/12...alongside your photos....It'll be a kinda trade off...it's either throwing a re-veg switch on your photos (which would definitely harm them) OR letting them continue as they are....and having a reduced yeild on 12/12 autos....

So true... And you have such a beautiful avatar pic! :thumbs:

Maybe I'll start them on 12/12, let the photos finish (3 weeks, more or less), then switch the autos is to 20/4.... What you think?

 

[AutoMan]

Can't see where that would hurt anything....go for it....in 3 weeks, ya autos will be looking forward....

Thanks Hugo...ya gotta love those skittle socks...

I have several autoflowers in a 12/12 tent right now, and they're all showing preflowers at way immature times. I have a purple jem in hydro that's showing preflowers at 2 weeks old...that's too early I think, the 12/12 is forcing them into flower.

2 weeks is normal for them to show sex...mine show between 12-16 days...

 

[AutoMan]

Agreed Scyntra.....some autos sex early, some not....but having used 12/12 for years on my autos, I can say it doesn't cause early flowering ....but 12/12 does slow an autos growth and reduces yeild a bit overall...doesn't affect potency.

Another option is to leave your lights on 20/4 and remove the photos after 12 hours and put them in a totally dark place. Then move them back under the lights the next day, and so on. Yes, it's a PITA to have to move them everyday but it does work.

Well considering my PJEM in hydro is in full on bud production mode at about 6" tall, 3 nodes of growth, I'd say something is wrong, but maybe it's just a crap pheno...
