36hr dark to jumpstart flower

[jamar001]

ok ive read that it may be a good idea to give em a rest to induced the flower cycle, and was wondering;

1 Should bubblers be turned off as well to let roots dry out a bit, or
2 Flush so that the "gro" nutes get rinsed/used before putting in the "bloom" juice.

Mine are in net pots so i take from the gro res, restock with freshly potted seedlings, and put the others into flower. Both dwc resv are ph'd and temp at 70 so shouldnt be an issue of shock.

I realize not to let the roots dry out, just meant should they be allowed to drip dry a bit or flush resv w/ str8 h20 and not just keep sitting in the gro nutes during the dark period.

I don't think there's really a need to jumpstart flowering if you're running clones...

I just switched from 18/6 to 12/12 yesterday. They went straight from an 18-hour light cycle, to a 13.5-hour dark cycle (to sync up to the times I wanted the lights on/off), and then at the end of the first 12-hour light cycle I already noticed pistils on the biggest plants!!!

Kinda crazy... I never expected them this fast!
