I need help with flowering my plants....

[ninjatoker]

I'm a new grower starting in hydro, I had my plants @ 24/0 then I switched it to 14/10 to initiate flowering. It's been two weeks and no sign of change. Is this light cycle not going to flower them? Should I change it to 12/12? Any input?

I'm sort of a beginner but have done enough reading.
The what I know you are supposed to have lights at 12/12 (on/off) for flowering.:jointsmile:

yes, I have read alot too, from this site and others as well as books. But in this hydroponic guide I found online said that even though it's ideal for 12/12 when uve had the plants in veg for 24/0 that it's better for them to be put into flowering with a 14/10 cycle... Just looking to see others thoughts thank you...

I would assume there would be some change with the 14/10 cycle you are using and I am sort of shocked that there is not.

If you have waited two weeks and have not seen any change perhaps you should try the 12/12 for two weeks and let us know what happens. :stoned:

In the upper right hand corner do you see the scales icon in my posts (or anyones posts for that matter)? Click it and see what happens! :thumbsup:

PS: It is also a good way to privately send a line or two to your contacts along with the rep points.

Big Bud will flower at 14/10,but to really initiate flowering would be 12/12.You will only make them get taller.with sparse budding.They grow more in the dark.:thumbsup:
