12/12 is adequate, most growers only switch to a 10/14 schedule if they are having problems getting there pure sativa's to flower and not many people grow pure sativa's indoors.

also, anything other than the 12/12 schedule.. and you wind up possibly getting MAYBE getting a little extra weight at harvest time.. but schedules other than 12/12 usually also lag the flowering process. In other words, it actually makes the flowering cycle a little longer.

just thought I would try and help educate..

good luck man.

peace..

I would never stray from 12/12 your going to stunt /slow your plants down and maybe even stress them and get hermies

think of it as fall as you slowly head into winter solstice you actually gain more darkness and as spring approaches you gain more light ) you are only imatating this sequence indoor
