HELP! From 18 to 12 to 18

[MAlan]

Iam growing auto flower and feminist in same closet Can i go from 18 to 12 to make my Feminist plat start flowering then go back to 18 hrs of light to finish growing

No that photo period needs 12/12 all the way to flowering and harvest. Photoperiod plants i've always read and done 12on 12off with total darkness.

Now let me say this as i've done both types of plants in same tent. IF the photo plant was within a month or less of harvest then you would be pretty safe to go 18/6.

Is the feminist a photo and the auto a chauvinist? If that's the case then no, putting them in a closet together will only lead to problems. Here's the simple answer. Your auto is set to go off according to a time period whereas the Chauvinist is set to a light schedule. The auto benefits in longer light periods for more growth but it will flower no matter what the light is doing. The photo must have at least 12 hours of darkness to flower. So, long story short. The auto is going to flip no matter what but your photo must have the darkness. I think I have confused myself now. Did you know that in Vietnam today is yesterday. So if you need to call someone there you should do it before before you know you should.

Photoperiod, or as you like to call it "feminist" plants need 12 hrs of darkness for the entire flower period or they will lose their buds and go back into vegetative state. Wait until the photo plant is done then switch it back to 18/6. Next time plant photo plant a month before auto finishes so you dont lose bud development due to shorter light periods forced onto an autoflower plant.
