Changing Time?

[williams2311]

Well my lights come on at 6 pm and was not a problem with running ac. Now im pulling cold air into my room to cool it. However I want to change the light from 6pm to 8pm to 8am how would I do this? I have about a wweek and a half of flower left. Should I just wait until next crop?

Yes I would wait.

 

I have done it before but I am  sure screwing with the plants so late in flower cant be good for them it might cause some late hermies .

That's what I figured. Thanks again you really have been alot of help with my grow. Everyone on the forum has thank you everyone.

I agree, don't mess with the flowers light. If your strains tend to show male flowers early, they will show more when you change lights. If they're solid though, with proven genetics and good expressions, a change like that wouldn't do much. If needed I would change it at the end of its cycle, meaning allow the lights to come on late the following day, as opposed to allowing them to stay on late the first day of the change.  they like the dark actually, and more of it will speed up finish, although maybe to a threatening end resulting in some boy dust, which wouldn't happen within a week anyways.

 I allow my Plushberry/FaceFlo to sit in isolation with no light for three days before I harvest, and the changes are awesome for me.

Agreed!  play it safe, its only a couple of days/wks

if you ever do want or have to change the lighting schedule, do it in 15 minutes increments.

Just skip a light cycle

No ill effects in a dozen times or so

 Ditto , although not so many times .

With what little time you have left in flower, even if your plants throw a few pollen sacks or nanners, there isn't nearly enough time for seeds to develop. 

 

I, too, have skipped a cycle in order to set a new "lights on" time, and I've never had an issue.

Glad I could help .

most strains only need 6 hrs of darkness, just don't exceed 12 hrs of light. no schedule at all other than above has worked in an experiment but a few plants didn't respond too well.

you can always extend the night 

i've had no ill effects of numerous resets via extending night
