WMaybe so, but I've never heard of it causing any harm and I wanted to give 20/4 a try.

I'd like to see someone who's familiar with the big bud strand comment on the stage. I'll switch to flowering in 2-3 weeks for sure, but I don't want to flower before it's ready. Looking for high yield and I'm coming without experience.

So, I'm looking for some advice relating to preflowering / flowering.
