Lets say someone had been growing indoor (inside a single room) for the past 3 months and a mother plant was successfully flower and pollinated. The plant is about 3 or 4 weeks into growing the seeds, however they are not yet fully mature and brown (seeds).
Plants were grown/ flowered under a HPS (1KW) in soil. Light cycle 12 hrs.
The guy growing is now looking at starting a number of new plants from seed (old stock) to begin his new growing season.
The question he asked me is:
Can the light cycle be changed back to 16 hours in the room without causing the mature plants to stop working on finishing the seeds already near the end stage?
The mature plants probably still have about 2 weeks more to go.
I do know that if you are flowering a plant 12/12 and switch the light cycle to a longer period of hours on ex. 18/6 that the plant will eventually with time go back into vegetative state. With seeds, I would figure the same thing would happen. I wouldn't suggest changing the light cycle once the plant has started to produce.

Exactly. Tell him to wait until the seeds are done, or make a veg room.
