I have tried this before after reading about it on Over Grow. I tried it and I do believe they got off to a faster start, although it was not a controlled experiment. I gave the plants 2 days of dark, and then continued on with 12/12 like usual and they seemed to produced buds a little faster. Like I stated it was not a controlled experiment so I can't be sure it worked but it did seem so. Just my input.

Tom Green Thumb Reviewed by Tom Green Thumb on . Flowering question Okay so i know that 12/12 consistently brings a plant into the flowering stage it takes a couple weeks or whatever. But anybody ever hear about putting a plant in light lock out? Like a couple of days of darkness to speed up the flowering stage or maybe a 8/16 ?? Just curious Rating: 5
