what will a 12 hour light cycle do to a new plant?

eugene b · Dec 3, 2014

Hi i have 5 large plants 2 weeks into flower, i also have 4 freshly sprouted plants about 3 days old.I need all the lights in my tent for the flowering plants will it do any harm keeping the seedlings on a 12 hour light cycle instead of 18 hrs and if i do what will it do to the development of the plant and how will i get them to flower in 8 weeks time?
Any help welcome has anyone had this problem themselves and if so what was the outcome of keeping the seedlings on a 12 hr light cycle?

This is something I don't have a specific experience with, but I do know that plants will not flower until they are mature enough. So in theory, you could put seedlings into 12/12 in a pinch, but I would think that growth would slow with less light than a 24/0, 20/4, 18/6 schedule.

Educated guess, but thanks for adding to the conversation and helping out the OP.

the plant will survive its original growth will be slow...once it achieves maturity it will begin to produce flowers...Google 12/12 from seed...lots of info to set your mind at ease...g/l

He got plenty of help since he posted the same thing in 3 different forums.

I didn't know that OP posted this 3 times. I'm curious to know if my "educated guess" is bad information, in your eyes.

How so? I find it interesting that some members flame other members for their advise to OP and don't offer up their own advise. If my info is bad, please explain why so we may learn.

I think the policy is one thread per topic. More than once is what a spammer might do
