How long have your plants been flowering? With more than 12 hours of light per day your plants will want to revert back to the vegetative growth stage and you will be putting your plants at risk of turning hermi.

yea, that's your best bet if they were further into flowering 14 hours probably wouldn't turn it around, but it does depend on the strain alot for sure.

Paint that barrel white and get a thermometer that records high and low temperatures.

The only downside to what you're doing is possible overheating inside the barrel, in direct sun.

Few things are carved in stone but anyone who has grown for some period of time will tell you that when you alter light cycles and go back and forth between a vegetative growth stage and a flowering growth stage and back to a vegetative growth stage and then back to a flowering growth stage that hermis are not all that uncommon. They are not a 100% sure bet to hermi but the odds of that happening go way up when you start jumping back and forth between light cycles.

There are a few extremely long-flowering landrace sativa strains in the world. Real true Panama Red can take 22 weeks, that's 154 days or 5.1333 months. That is about as long as anything that has been used in breeding or sold in its original form will be, but there are a few rare strains that will require longer.
