Hey

Im ceptic about the total darkness. MAYBE when you start the flowing stage you need it but im always breakin gthe rule to see if it changes something in the grow of the plant or something. I have a plant budding and my timer closes the lights at 7pm...and at 9pm i go sleep (eh) and i open the closet, open the lights and chek out the plant, water it etc etc, i was doing this for more than a month and...well... i can say that this thing isnt true!!!!! so the total darkness is...well bullsh*t (sorry for the language but i want to say it clearly IT ISNT AN IMPORTANT RULE TO FOLLOW).

The qty of time needed to flower depends on a lot of factor (strain, light, space in pot, watering, ferts etc etc) but in the majority i can say that at mininum you need 3 weeks to start the flowing stage, but be careful there is no coming back: when the process is started it won't start (i experienced it myself, turning the lamps to 18/6, changing ferts light et cetc).

I hope this will help if there is any questions you want to ask me dont be shy to post it wil be a pleasure for me to answer

See ya have fun and peace
