is a big difference in # of hours per stage OK though?

[shub]

Even I remember reading somewhere in this forum that it is ok to increase hours in the subsequent stages but should not decrease it, the way you wrote it here Shannon, it seems like if at all, there should be a decrease in the number of hours in subsequent stages.

I know, we need to aim at a balance, I just wanna clarify if it is not ok to increase the hours in the later stages, just for my knowledge, I still am aiming for equal number of hours...
