Default Concerning Flowering

Hey Ron,
Concerning Flowering, it is said that during this stage lights should be 12 on and 12 off. What would happen if you increased or decreased the lighting to 8 on 16 off.
Thanks
Pingman

The plants are triggered to bloom by 12 hours of darkness and not by the length of light they receive. I have heard of some growers doing 12 off 18 on 12 off 18 on and so on. I never tried it any other way than 12 /12 because if it ain't broken don't fix it.
