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?
