IMO switching between metal halide and hps does create plant stress. female plants turning male hermaphrodite are often an indication of these stresses. PAR curves can be reached with using high lumen bi-spectrum lamps that like natural sunlight allow the plant to photomorphogenesis as it needs the specific wavelengths it requires.I know in Veg you can keep the lights on 24hrs...( i prefer 20 or 18 hrs of light... gives the plants a change to "sleep" i feel)... no place on earth except for like Alaska does it stay light 24hrs.. doesn't seem natural.. but anyway
My question is == when you're ready to begin flowering ... is it be better to step the plants straight down to 12hr? ..
i mean it seems confusing to the plant to go from 24hrs to 12 hrs in 1 day...
also going from MH lamps straight to HPS... all seems so unnatural..
would it be advisable to put the pre-flowering plants under the HPS for the same amount of time for a few days?
Also is it a good idea to step the hours down over time like from say 20 hr.. to 18 .. to 14 to 12 hr flower ...
like a few days or so under different time till 12hr to initialize flowering.. more closely resembling nature?
12/12 is the way to go to induce flower
some folks swear by puttng plants in darkness 24-36 hours before the flip
I just flip em and run
I do like to shorten the days until Im at 11/13 the last 3 weeks or so of flower in 15 minute increments every 3-4 days
you have to play with your strains and see what works for them, seems to me those long flowering sativas that never want to finish benefit from this
