new grower.... Help flowering...

[ninjatoker]

is there any way to figure out when to flower my plants to get the max yield? And is it true that if you use a 10/12 vs 12/12 light cycle you will produce more buds it will just take longer to mature?

You can start the flowering when ever you want. But most people recommend starting when the plant's about 20 inches tall.

What light schedule are you currently using? Changing the lights from say 18/6 to 12/12 is ideal for most grows depending on the strain.

I just switched from 24/0 to 10/14 for nearly two weeks and still no signs of budding...

Give it time. .....are you seeing the sex yet?

[ninjatoker]

they are female, planted from femenized seeds. So with the light cycle I have it on it should still flower right?

Absolutley, as log as it its not a basil plant!! I have never heard of a 10 hr photoperiod with 14 hrs of dark...I am interested

yes, I was told I should use the 10/14 since I used 24/0 for my vegetative stage, I tried it and after two weeks I had no signs of flowering so I switched it to 12/12
