Dark Time?

[crabbyback]

so I hear some growers like to go totally dark for 24-36 hours when going from vegetative stage to flowering

and I hear some growers just go on a 12/12 cycle without the 24-36 hours of dark time

what is best? any advice?

thanks !!

I haven't tried going straight to 12/12 from veg without an extended dark period. I usually go 36 hours of dark before lights on again for 12/12.

From what I've read, it is said to help "kick start" them into flowering. Is this a fact? Dunno.
