Nature doesn't do that. If you want to mimic nature then gradually reduce your lights by an hour a night until you have 12/12.

If you think of it logically, the light reduces every day until it reaches a tipping point for the plant. Now, at that tipping point, the day before had enough light but the next day doesn't. So, we go from 18-24 down to 12 just like that. The day before had enough light but the next day doesn't.

That's my take on it anyway.

I mentioned that in another thread. Day/Night doesn't take the day off and Mother Nature knows best.

[MedFarmer]

Thanks for your concern paddy but I've not blown away lol. I am away for a few days mate. I've seen your naughty pictures which are not nice. I will get back online probably Thursday night with some updates. I'm expecting to look into the tent and go WOW. They always seem to grow the most when you don't see them for a few days. I am missing my girls though.

I hope all is good where you are. You are doing a good job with your girls mate.

Thanks Mike. It was like WOW for me too after 3 days away.

Day 77 from seed.
Day 26 in flower.

Got roots still looking good even after some temperature worries. I suppose the well oxygenated water looked after them.
