Where did they say this? Your title states your question clearly and everyone I noticed gave a valid answer.
into flower
You would cause it to reveg and waste6 weeks of your time. You will have to start over. I dunno why you flowered 6 weeks before figuring out they too short

It's pretty simple really. The plants have only 2 choices. There is no inbetween for them.

U literally still dont get it which is hilarious my small plants arent full bloom so like you said he was talking about full grown bloom plants the younger ones are barely showing sex reveg wouldnt affect them in any way you wanna be right so bad u seem to missing that point that i keep pointing out the small plants are just that small no real budding yet or trichome devolopment so clearly he was talking about my 6 weekers thank u for proving my point retard
Wow.

I give up. You're the winner.

are you saying now that the "6 weekers" you are talking about aren't 6 weeks into flower?

Your title clearly states the plants are 6 weeks into bud bro. You changed your own subject here.

The guy was assuming you wanted to switch your flowering plants to 18/6 to try to make them bigger I think not just save on light for your babies, either way who cares what the fuck reason! You wanted to do it and everyone told you not to for good reason.

Im not lol i cleary said i habe two groups i have the ones on week 6 which are finishing then i got the small ones showing sex at less or around 6in tall. the 6 in tall ones are the only ones im trying to veg if possible but i already got my answer that 18/6 will affect my current finishers by not maturing at all dont know why people are trying to debate still with me i already said id just finish the grow since the 1st page and all im saying to the people saying that there is no misunderstanding is that there is people are cconfusing my small plants with my week 6 flowerers

any new growth resulting from this type of reveg will grow more green, not more trichomes, not more thc, no more buds, lots of revegetation. next time veg longer for bigger plants> I'd suggest finishing these 12/12 to avoid a fail
this right here is your answer to both ... First part answers the big plants in bud.... Second part the one where he says veg longer for bigger plants is the answer to the second part of your question, you should've vegged the smaller plants longer in the first place if you wanted them bigger, now they are in 12/12 keep them there.

You seem to think you needed to put the smaller ones in 12/12 to sex them and you don't. Try just growing them a little bigger and reading the pre-flowers then budding them.

Don't ask a question in the title and expect answers to different questions.

Everyone was referring to your big 6 week old plants going back to 18/6 cause that's what you asked in the title.

Quit cherry picking answers and switching your questions that's what's wrong bro.

He only answered part of the question week 6 flowerer would take awhile to reveg what happens before that someone else answered that already revegetation for the smaller ones would be good and not good for the finishers basically i was hoping 18/6 that late in flower wpuld take a while to shock my finishers and let them finish maturing even if it was just the last week 8 of flowering under 18/6

Lol you come here and ask a question and expect a debate. That's the problem right there, read the answers more carefully and you won't need to debate.
Bro i said that cuz people clearly didnt read my 2nd or 3rd response where i said id finish them under 12/12 and still wanna tell me im wrong when i never said i was right i just asked a question

Don't sex plants like that it stresses them, learn to tell what it is as it matures. I've never had to put a plant in 12/12 to sex it this is where people are confused I bet.

Case closed bro, don't put 18/6 on anything after 12\12. Grow plants bigger and sex them using better methods.

I didnt i started the seeds under 12/12 they been under 12/12 there whole life ive read plenty people sex under 12/12 then reveg and even more harvest a whole plant then reveg if u can cut the whole plant and reveg im sure a simple reveg is less stressful but thats just my opinion the plants are just showing sex i didnt throw them underv12/12 to sex them they were started under 12/12

I guess in the end you kinda misunderstood everyone.
As soon as you put them back into 18/6 they will start revegging. Hence why we all started throwing that word out there.
The last couple of weeks of flower are your most important as far as potency and weight go.
If you put the lights back to veg the flowering plants will stop all growth for 2 to 4 weeks then start getting weird leaves and revegging reveggin.
I was suggesting an option in my first post that would work. You dont have to reveg anything but i would not screw with your 12/12 light schedule.
You could just harvest the older plants early or move tin smaller 1s out into the light of a window during dark time. If you have the time to.

Here's the part I don't get.

You have 12 full size plants, and I'm guessing you're running 1800 watts over them. My math is based on the idea that you need about 4 square feet of space per full size plant, and therefore a minimum of 600 watts per 4 plants. This of course is based on the assumption that you're using traditional HID lighting.

One would also have to assume that you have roughly 50 square feet of flowering space to fit 12 mature plants.

How did you not have the forethought or the budget to split the rooms into separate areas? is this your first rodeo?

Im not even gonna waste my time with you i already made up my mind why are u bringing coverage and lighting irrelevant information into this are u trying to seem smart now?all that is according to your standards not everyones you do know its possible to griw on a budget right?

U might be confused i hhavetwo groups of plants the ones on week 6 and the ones just starting to flower i want to veg those if possible i was wondering if 18/6 light would disturb the 1st group of late flowerers from finishing for the last 2 weeks or 1 week of possible
On strength I wouldn't go back to vegging once you've induced flowering if round two is only in first week or few days I'd try of course it will slow down a little again depending on how far you've gone I haven't done so myself but i'm thinking if it happens early that plant may not realize it. We run risk of confusing the sex of plants Many ways stress being number 1 culprit so consider all b4 jumping on that let us know what you did and let's see results
