There was a bloke on the other site im on that spent over a year proving that the whole 36/48 hrs of darkeness was bollocks etc, compared 10-20 strains with all sorts of lighting combinations etc n there was absolutely no difference between the plants that had 48hrs of dark n those that had none etc

Lads down this way do a 6 week veg, lowering the light by an hour each week and this SO FAR is the quickest way ive seen to get a plant to swing from veg into flower, normally less than 3-4 days after flip there is first signs of flowers starting to form etc, so something like

wk1 veg 18/6
wk2 17/7
wk3 16/8
wk4 15/9
wk5 14/10
wk6 13/11

then flip to 12/12 for start of wk7

I don't believe in a long period of dark at flip,tried it never seen any benefit,id rather give a 22 \24 hour light then straight to 12\12 this kick starts them into flower,76

I'm not saying it gives me extra weight or quality. The reason I do it is because years ago I took over a grow that was fucked. The plants weren't happy, I got all the basics right for them but couldn't get the plants looking happy. I tried loads of products and nothing worked. I needed to get them into flower so as a last gasp effort I gave them 48 hours dark before flowering. When I put the lights on boom they were amazing, looking really happy and pert, great colour. Ended up being a good crop. So I feel the plants enjoy a little rest before the big push into flower, my plants always seem to respond well to it, no major tangible gains apart from happy plants!

This was before the days of the Internet forums when we used to go by instinct!

Also this conversation started about posting cuts I think. I said that being stuck in a post office for 4 days etc won't cause hermies later down the line which from my experience is true

The genetics must have been real strong like I said it's a risk me personally ain't prepared to risk I've got far too much shit going on to waste time with em for u maybe u waited a while and the risk was worth the reward for a particular strain / pheno but for me there's too many to be going at to fuck around too much :)
