    Hey guys, I've never heard of this one before and it couldn't have come at a better time.

    I have sativa dominant strawberry cough that just refused to finish. Nice fat buds, but not one amber trichomes, and I like just a few so I know the rest are cloudy etc.

    So just so Im clear, reducing their light cycle to 11 hours light, 13 off - should help speed up this finishing process? (..and this is because it follows nature)

    Also, you can't do this with Indicas' as they will hermi??

    with my previous sativa girls yes mate,
    at week 9 if they aren't ripening i drop the light to 11/13 on/off

    mimicking nature 'winter is coming - they finish faster'

    has only ever happened with a few long flowering strains,

    Hey lipnobody,

    It's basically where you set the timer to 12/12 & 5.5 hours in to the dark period you flick the lights back on for 1 hour & then 5.5 hours of dark again.

    This keeps the plant in veg mode but super charges the flower hormones. The diminishing light schedule is where you reduce the lights on hours by 30 minutes per week. So, weeks 1 & 2 full 12 on 12 off, weeks 3 & 4 drop it to 11/13, weeks 5 & 6 drop it to 10/14.

    I've not tried the Diminishing light yet, but will give it a shot on my current grow, may adjust it slightly as they are a 10 weeker, so maybe just drop it by 30 minutes every fortnight instead.

    I?ve used gas lantern with good results, or atleast no downside to the lessened light time. Maybe harder in ur bulb as u have an additional on and off.....

    sativas just get mentioned more since they can flower for 4-6 weeks more than anything indica dominant,
    it works with either mate, just less needed with indicas usually Erby
