shock flowering

o.k fuckers i just started 12/12 is it a good idea to give it 24 dark to really send the message home?lol love this onekiss-ass

It really will not matter, your plant will notice the change imediatlly

some do some don't simple as that. and i haven't seen any scientific evidence to back either side. experiment away and let us know how your results are

I find with more sativa dominant varieties 48 hours dark does push them into flower a little quicker than just going straight to 12/12, but more importantly they tend not to stretch so much in the first weeks of flower.

Just my experience tho and I have heard that this practice can stress your plants into becoming a little on the hermie side, never happened to me tho.

Try it you might like it or if your cautious like me then give half your plants the shock treatment and half not, that way if the worse happens you can only go half wrong.

i always 36 hrs dark before switch does work

How much time can you take off the grow? 2 days?
