12/12 is the way to go 100,000,000,000 growers can't be wrong!

Peace

There is no way a plant will start to veg again on 12/12. What happened to you? Leave a light on when you left?

ya the only way it will re veg is leaving the lights on to about 16 hours but even then it will take weeks to convert

if anything you should go up to 13 or 14 hour days for the last week to give them a bit more growth. its too late for them to switch back to veg at that point, as long as you keep the light 14 or under

Never tried it myself, but from what I've read they will finish a little sooner, and yield a little less. More light = more bud, and all those lost hours add up, over the 8+ week bloom cycle, hurting yield.

So if I go up to 14 hrs after going down to 10 for the past 2 days you think it will cause any issues?

I can't say for sure, because I've never tried anything like that, so i don't want to risk giving you bad advice. But, I would guess that it wouldn't hurt, and probably give them a little boost, which i'm guessing is the main idea? Problems usually arise when the dark period is interrupted, so extending the light period is alot safer. That's the best i can do for ya, beyond that, the choices are your's. :)
