    1/2 an hour doesn't affect yield. That being said 14 hours of darkness or more will make your buds ripen earlier and this WILL affect yield as your plants are not getting the 2-3 hours of light that they would normally get to fill in, fill out and fatten your buds.

    does it affect yield or is it just all the same?

    I keep them at 12.5dark/11.5light for at least the next 8 weeks. This gives me 15 minutes on either end that I can open the tent take care of any last minute details and/or take photo's with a flash and still not mess with the core 12 hours of contiguous darkness. Sometimes I don't utilize the time, so my girls always get 'up to' 12.5 hours of darkness but 'at least' 12.

    Do you keep them in 12.5/11.5 or do you switch to 12/12 later?

    Chocolate Mint - she looks like a stringy mess but her leaves are already sticky. A lot of room for buds!

    Update 32b: 9.29.21 We Have Pre-flowers!
    I went in to add more time to the timer and looked the girls over. After only 2.5 hours of darkness they both have pre- flowers forming I think they’re ready to get down to business.

    Update 32: 9.29.21 Week 9 day 1 (Transition to bloom)

    Beginning this morning both plants started their first dose of bloom enhancer along with their regular feed and water.
    (1ml per liter of Bud Candy)
    I start counting flowering once the first flowers appear. Due to this the date format will change to indicate time in flower not the amount of time the plant has been alive.

    After 6 hours of recovery - other than the fact that you can now see through them - they look pretty much the same as before defoliation.

    Ckbrew not all but the vast majority - and all bud sites will be exposed in just under a week. By the 3 week defoliation I will know which ones are staying and which growth tips are going. Both plants will have 100 or so growth tips by time for Transition to bloom. Week 3 of flowering, about 40 of the least productive and growth tips that are not going to reach the top of the canopy will be culled - leaving around 60 bud sites per plant to reach maturity.

    Are all the bud sites near the top of the canopy?

    Thanks SoOrbudgal as Popeye would say “I yam what I yam” and I’m really not fond of yams. 🤣
