Changing to 12/12

[pskipper]

My plants are at about 15", My question is when changing to 12/12 will my plants double in size? When changing to 12/12 should I drop the times slowly to get to the 12/12 cycle or should I go straight from 18/6 to 12/12?

You can change directly from 18/6 to 12/12, that's what i do, but sure they stretch, maybe not the double of size, but they stretch for sure.

Thanks fhydro how much do they stretch? I want them to get as big as possible but I dont want to run out of room in my box.

I read they will double in size of what they are when you change to 12/12 by the end of flowering and may grow larger if Sativa

There are two sides to that debate. One sayâ??s slowly decreasing the light over 7-10 dayâ??s readies the transformation into flower cycle. The other side sayâ??s cut to 14-dark 10-light for the first week for quicker flower. Then there is those that say just cut it in one day and let it go itâ??s just a weed. Iâ??ve done the slow and the 14/10 and found they both flowered about the same time but the 10/14-week did show flowers quicker by about 24 hours. The end product was still the same.

Nice your the MAN ZAN before I switch too 12/12 should I flush the system with only water for a day or just switch from the veg. nuets. to the bloom nuets.?

[Zandor]

Your are correct the first time, flush for a few day's before you change nutrients.

My plant doubled in size during flowering season. It stands over 2 ft. now. I wish that I had started flowering sooner because she is a space consumer.

Thanks Zan I will do that tonight before they go to bed. These beauties are going to be huge. I saw my first 9 set(Leaf), I saw it forming a day ago but now OH my god its beautiful. Hey Zandor I have a question regarding the bugs that we talked about before. Well the leaves are looking like a bug has been chowing down. I looked all over still I dont see bugs. Is there a pestecide that I can use, that won't harm my plants?

Oh yeah Zandor are you familar with the General Hydroponics 3 part nuets? (Grow-Micro-Bloom)
