Will Flowering to Late Hurt my Buds?

I feel like it’s time to start my 12/12 light schedule for my OG Kush fem (about 7weeks). I have a couple of autos that I’m trying to wait to catch up before changing the light schedule so significantly possibly hurting my growing cinderella jack and ultimate autos. What should I do? Appreciate the help growers!

I guess the picture is of the autos? Because the picture shows weed already in flower. I don't grow autos but you want those on at least 18/6 the whole grow, so you should have 2 separate rooms for them and flowering photos.

But if your question is if you can veg a photo for more than 7 weeks and be ok then yeah. You can veg for a year if you want.

The pic is from my og kush fem with is a bitch to grow. I’m a newbie to craft but feel I’m doing a pretty good job with this moody plant. Thanks for the advice I don’t know I can keep in the veg stage for awhile without damaging the bud growth. Thanks bro again!

It is already in flower then.

Question. So, I can continue with the 18/6 light schedule and it will continue flowering and potentially start to grow buds?

That's the thing. If you are in 18/6, then that plant has to be an auto. Yes you could keep it 18/6 and it will continue flowering. It is already growing buds. That's what all those white hairs in bud shape formation are.

Let me ask you something.... I switched to LED's for this grow (first grow in a long time). I made the rookie mistake of the light being way to close to my plants at first (cause; heat is nowhere near HPS which is what I was used to). A few of the leaves were nute burned. I trimmed off the bad leaves, re-potted as that particular plant looked a bit root bound.

So, long story now short, with the first three or so nodes stunted a bit, will vegging longer with appropriate space between light and top of canopy "stretch" the plant as new nodes grow? My "oldest" plant is about 3 weeks, short and stout but with great roots! LOL..

Nice! Growers choice must have known what I needed then.Lmao! I purchased fem not autos. Thanks for the positive observation.

Most people do that when first switching to LED. Yeah the higher you raise it the more it will stretch and the more spacing there will be between nodes. Every new light takes me a grow or so to adapt. What LED are you using? Usually the manufacturer's instructions for canopy distance are pretty accurate. But their info for how much space their lights cover is usually bs.

Right on... I was suspecting as much; I just couldn't find validation.
As to the LED, I picked it up as part of a kit from HTGSupply. Here is a link if interested:
