Well IntricateD, there is a wide range there. But remember there are alot of variables with the different strains we run. 24hrs is what I'd deem as the least amt and 36hrs being what I'd consider max. This dark regiment is based on transitioning from veg to flower, something in both of my grows I would like to do, but can't since I have continous vegging going on and continous flowerring happening at the same time. Just don't have a dark room to put them. I do SOG, which is smaller plants finishing in waves, light every two weeks.

If you go back to your 12/12 and don't bother doing the dark routine, that's fine too, it will just take longer for the plants to get back to flower....maybe a week or so maybe longer (again a bit of strain dependent).

Not sure about your nute schedule, but I'd probably pick it back up with the second week and go from there. You are going to stop nutes at least 1 week before finish and if that turns into 2 weeks there is no harm. You are looking to get the plant to use up all the nutes it has stored, plus anything in your grow medium. You know- final flush and all that.

You should be checking your girls anyway, on a regular basis, for any signs of hermies. That seems to happen when you least expect it. So just make sure you do that, and even if you see signs of balls or 'nanners late into flower just pick the off and despose of them outside your grow area, preferably in water.

Hope that this helps you and everything works out. :thumbsup:
oldmac Reviewed by oldmac on . 2 Weeks In & Timer Fails Please Help Stat! Hey Yall! first post here so hopefully this can get resolved in a hurry.... I will cut to the Chase and thank you in advance! I have some ladies who vegged for a couple of months, all about three feet tall when i switched them to 12/12. They are been growing strong for about 2 weeks in flower to the day and look amazing!! However today at three hours into their night cycle i discovered that one of my lamps had not been turning off! As u can imagine i am seriously stressing out. In all Rating: 5
