droping light to speed up flower cycle

[stone14]

do you have to wait till the hairs are white before you drop light to 10/14 or 8/16.

or is it best to just stick to 12/12??

I've wondered this, and whether it's worth mimicking the changes in day length.

In northern-European lattitudes it's about 3 three minutes per day, or thereabouts, so 20-odd minutes per week. (About four hours change over a three month period.)

Just leave it at 12/12 until you have a few years experience ....

BTW pistils (the white bits) have nothing to do with the stage of ripeness, the calyxes swelling is starting sign that ripening has started

stick too what we know, just like b star said 12/12 & you cant go wrong :)

I always drop it a little bit at a time when they are nearly ready, it just gives them a signal that it's time to die and to finish up in a hurry
