Okay i have 3 female plants in one big bucket they are about 2 and 1/2 feet tall

iv had them on 12/12 for about 3 weeks.
they are showing pistols and all that but i want them to be bigger before they flower.

would it hurt them if i switched them back to 24 h of light?

im using 6-10-10 fertz

plants will at least double if not triple in size during flowering. no harm to re veg but make sure you will have enough room for a six seven foot tall plant. can i ask why you want it to grow taller?

Pot size may also be an issue with three plants in one pot.

I believe switching back to 24/0 will cause a lot of stress on the plant. I'm no expert. Hopefully someone else can clear it up for you.

it all depends on your setup. if you have room for a seven foot plant do it up. i just got done wit three six foot pot trees. :hump: they were mothers that i used for a year then flowered massive yield. but if you wanted to re veg you really wouldnt stress the plant out.

Ive revegged loads of plants and never had any problems but some strains dont like it.
Look for specifics for your exact strain:joint:

don't do it man...the leaves will start stretching because of the light but the biggest problem would be that it might take even 6 or 7 weeks to get itno growing again .i would suggest you to put them in bigger pots and use the right fertilizers
good luck

i cant put it in a bigger pot because the pot is made where u cant take the plant back out.
would it do good if i got about 4 more cfls ? and just kept it inside? they are all growing like crazy now just with the 2 cfls and they are even starting to branch out alot to

more lumens more light. if you plan on putting it outside then the time it will take it to revert back 2 veg usually a couple weeks wont matter. dont know much about cfl's since i usually use between 1200- 1800 watts of hps. what strain u workin wit?

I would leave them in flower because they will grow a great deal yet in flower but as for a 24/0 light cycle that is inefficient. You are better off with an 18/6 light cycle foe vegging.
