I have 4 Skunk#1's on 12.12 from seed, [vegged on 24/0 for 4 days, and now it's the end of day 8. When it's 9o'clockam tomorrow it's day nine so.
I got an extra..well I have a space for a whole plant,[+LST] and I wanted to take one of the 4 12/12'ers and switch back to 24/0, and veg until day 30, take some cuttings, and put it into flowering.

So it wouldn't do any harm/stress to the plant at this stage would it? Or should I keep them all on 12/12 now that they've started?

Taking a plant from 12/12 back to a vegatative state will stress the plant, it will grow twisted and contorted. It will also add to the amount of flowering time by about 4 weeks or so and it may turn hermi. I wouldn't if i were you. Get a new seed and grow it in veg for a good while, I grow my Afghan Gold plants for about 2 months so they get really strong. I also crop all my plants ot produce more cola's. When you have at least 5 or six nodes, clip the plant just above the fourth node. It will force the plant to develop 4 colas rather than just one. LOVELY

Afganboy has pretty much gotcha covered. While it is possible to revert to veg, I don't find it to be worth the wait and hastle. But if you're into experimenting with new shit, I'd say give it a try.

I don't believe it would hurt a nine day old plant to switch light cycles.

The stress the comes from reverting light cycles has to do with the plant already producing flowering hormones and then canceling them. A plant that is still vegging would be fine to simply increase the veg light on.

lmao, well I have to say I'm rather confused.

I'm torn between options lol. It sounds like if it was like 3, 4 weeks old that it'd be a bad thing and I would probably be better off leaving it. But some people are saying that it's okay, because it's young and only been on 12.12 for 4 days?


And this is my first grow, but if worse comes to worse I have access to more seeds. I just want to make THESES ones live lol
