The autoflower that wasn't.

[Overboard]

So one of my autos didn't flip on its own, and I ended up vegging it for an extended period while the others finished. Then I flipped from 18/6 to 12/12 light schedule, and BOOM, flowers. It's been chugging along just fine, but I have some other seedlings I need to pot and start vegging in my only tent.

Can I flip the light back to 18/6 now that the plant is flowering?

It’s a risk. If the plant is an auto that just needed flowering triggered, the. It would be fine. However, if it truly is a photo then flipping may stop flowering and reveg. Which isn’t the end of the world, but sometimes can cause the plant to hermie. I had the same thing happen in my first grow, and I kept it at 12/12 and it finished just fine. I have seen others flip and everything is fine also.

Thanks Iriee! I was in favor of keeping it 12/12 before, and after looking at it tonight and how the flowers are just exploding in size, I'm convinced. I did find a suitable LED to veg the other photos I have in the mean time. Peace!
