will changing the 12/12 to 13.5/10.5

[berbes]

i have a nice flowering baby indoors with a few weeks left, but has gotten some spider mite damage and is getting tore up by the little fuckers. can i put it outside to get some spider mite predators on her, or will moving from a controlled 12/12 cycle to 13.5/10.5 (where we are now with sunrise / sunset) screw up the budding?

thanks!

Nope.

Nope.

The schedule change won't hurt it. I've always stopped pulling tarps around 8/20, so the schedule does the exact change that you're describing with no detrimental effects.

Worst case you'd have a hermie flower or two, but not likely. Just get those mites the fuck outta your house!

Shouldn’t be a problem as the natural light cycle is also decreasing. I would also hit her with a gentle spray down early in the day (water) to knock down as many mites as you can.

You may also want to shield her from direct sunlight for a few days.
