Starting flowering in a few days...20/4-12/12, 48 hours of darkness first or not???

HoochiePapa · Oct 13, 2007

So should I have a period of 24 hours or 48 hours af dark straight after last 20/4 cycle or should I just have 12???????

Apparantly it can speed up the change from veg to flower. Also, should I go another week of growe nutes before I start with bloom? I have heard of some ppl continuing on grow up until signs of bud then switching to bloom nutes, any thoughts appreciated.

I tied my 3 ladies down today to expose some light to branches that were

having trouble coming out due to all the shade, they are a bit compact, I

wanted this though have realised not such a good idea because they can't

spread out... prob end up with wasted sites, any thoughts... hopefully I'm

wrong. Pics just after tying them down...

shoulld I let bracnches grow out a bit before flower? or will the first few weeks of flower achieve enough for these babies to flourish out and up?

Just put them on 12/12 without a dark period. This theory may hold true but the difference will be so small and you run the risk of shocking your plants. Forgive me, I tend to be a hydro traditionalist. Tricks such as these are unnatural.
