Negative..
But there’s another kinda funny thing about them. I was going to flip them at some point and then decided against it. I had been lowering the light hours gradually and was holding at 14/10 but then they matured and started flowering anyways. Lesson learned. Also I wasn’t all the way down to 12/12 for another 10 days or so from then, I assume that could have slowed them down some as well.
It's not the actual hour count that matters. It's the night hours being longer today, then the day before, and day before etc.
It's the light cycle gradually changing that triggers flowering naturally. You can even get a straight sativa to flower at 14hrs so long as you are increasing night length gradually lol. Incremental gradual changes are specifically what these plants look for to know what time of year it is.
The reason the 12/12 switch works like it does, is because it makes the plant think it missed the prime time to flower entirely, nd itll just go about stacking flowers til it dies at that point. You take a plant from immortal midsummer limbo, to mid December overnight so it panic-flowers because simulating the incremental changes of the season indoors is a huge pain in the ass to do right.
What you effectively did by gradually changing hours, was convince the plant its August, and its time to start flowering *naturally* lmao. Im not sure what will happen if you just stop and leave it at 14 now. if its a heavy indica itll probably stay flowering, if sativa, might reveg, not sure.
Even if it doesnt quite look like it, a sativa and indica will start flowering at the same time outdoors if in the same conditions, the sativa just flows into flower more gradually and develops over a longer period of time because its genetics evolved in a climate that allowed it to do so. So it takes longer to flower, not longer to go into flower, even if the flowers on an indica look bigger faster, its only because they, well... get bigger faster lmao.
