If you do that its root system will be shit,let your plant root out the final container before you go 12/12

will 16/8 make em flower? Or what will it do just continue to veg?

No they will just continue to veg at an inefficient and slow rate, 12/12 is the key to induce flowering. For veg I recommend 18/6 or 24/0 if you don't mind the extra electricity cost and the diminishing returns.

Lol watcha mean by diminishing returns sounds like sumptin I would say when I was playin WoW. I thought 24/0 didn't have an effect on mj cause they don't need the dark to product what they need to grow. I was just askin bout 16/8 cause I wanna start to transition to flower but I have some clones too so I wanted em to stay in veg till I can get my new light. So sounds like 16/8 will be ok for me till I can take out my clones.

when you switch 12/12 it is teling the plant it needs to flower 18/6 will just keep veg when you switch 12/12 it tells the plant that it is autum and its life is almost over so it needs to reproduce

what part are you not understanding

when 18/6 it still thinks it is summer they grow in summer flower in autum 12/12
