Is this true?

"Use longer dark periods to speed maturity toward the end of the flowering cycle if speed is of the essence. (8-10 days) This will however, reduce total yield."

I got this from another website and never heard this before. Anybody with experience know this to be true?
 
I might have to try it too but would like to have someone who's done it give me some sort of vote of confidence at least.

I have 15 hermies. The beans are starting to form already, but not yet mature. I really don't want matured seeds, and the only reason I would go this route
 
There was a heater in there that glowed. Didn't realize it until I went in one night recently to check the humidity level. Sucks but beats spider mites at this stage easily.
 
Oh well not the end of the world. It's a 4x4 room and no way to get around to check anything but what is in front. Bonehead move but it is what it is. Live and learn I guess. :)
 
well going more darkness later on in flowering does work not sure about loss of yield i started changing my lighting schedule last 2 weeks or so from 12 / 12 to 11 1/2 lights on 12 1/2 off then after week to 2 weeks went 11 hrs light on and 13 off

just have to mimic fall as you get more in to fall theres more darkness so doing it is a good idea lights on you lose THC from transpiration , lights off it replenishes it and so on thru flower lights on you lose some when lights off it replaces it and adds more thc and so on through out flowering stage

I had to read that three times to understand it. I was trying to place some periods there periodically. :) I'm going to give it a shot. Nothing to lose at this point.
