I’ve been doing exactly what @Dman1969 explained for the last few grows and I love it. Better buds and trichomes development.

Thanks everyone, ill give it a go. @Dman1969 that info is very appreciated. 
so i understand correctly, i go from veg at 18 hrs to 13 hrs in one adjustment, then stay their for two weeks, then go to 12/12 for two more and finish at 11/13 til harvest. Correct?

All these parameters are great. Also lower light intensity the last 2 weeks. 
I have a lot of catching up to do.

I do everything 18/6. Some people will even cut it down more than that before 12 and 12. I’ve seen where some people let it go 24 hours without light and then do the flip. But that’s normally how I do it from 18/6 to 12/12. Then I’ll cut it back to like 11.5 /12.5 something like that. I don’t always trust the timers so I’ll allow 15 minutes. I’ve changed my time before like if I was growing at night and decided I wanted to change it today. I’ll let them go 48 hours without light.

I’ll even cut back the lights like you said and also my hours. I’ll even go to like eight hours a day lights on and then the rest off. If I’m wanting them to hurry up and finish.

Thanks man, i appreciate the feedback. im gonna give the 13/11 for twoo weeks method a go. I gotta let them recover a bit before i do so. They were in need of nutes, i was slacking on the feed intake.
I broke out some kief from my trim bin to top off a bowl load. Almost forgot about this stuff. This is by far the best kief/hash ive grown. The flavor is a nice sweet hashy smoke. The stone is top notch, feel good buzz. I wouldnt say its couchlock, but its strong. Couple tokes will do for a minute

That is 100% correct My Brother 
And drop light intensity each change
Don’t forget it’s gonna take about a week longer to see the usual porcupines. But the plants still build mass and don’t stretch up as much and more out.

Your ladies are on fire. Thank you for the tag brother. Been slow around here waiting on spring. That kief looks like an amazing addition to ANY bowl. Winter has finally hit here in the heartland. Thinking about maybe giving a auto or two a shot indoors . Not setup for it but hey, can’t win if you don’t play!

I agree. It gives the plant a natural setting. I know people cut back daily. I haven’t gotten to that point. The new technology makes it easier.

Alright grow fam, after alot of deliberation i picked a new light to buy. I went with a hlg 200 rspc. Im gonna add it into my 5x3 tent with my sf2000. Should give me a nice bump in the flowering stage. Its not a huge jump, but its alot better qaulity than my fec-ida 100watt light. We shall see.
Also put up some trellis. My new light should be in by next week, hopefully

Looks like a good light, especially from the 100w light, congrats!
I have one of those, too.
My other is hlg 150w, it’s really bright for a 150watter.
