Flipping to flower!

Newbiegrower420started grow question 4 years ago

Hi all, I’m just getting ready to make the flip to flower.. But interested to know how you all do it? Do you put them in darkness for a period first? Just flip? Change the light timings gradually? What’s your methods? Thanks 🙏😊

Experimentgreenanswered grow question 4 years ago

hello I usually first think about my schedule and when I'll have time to tend to the plants(work, school, sleep gets in the way), environmental factors like if it's winter i try to run my lights more in the evening to keep them a little warmer when it's coldest. Stuff like that. Then i just flip them. I don't ever run a 24 hour schedule so the transition from an 18/6 isn't ever so drastic that it pisses my plants of when they go to 12/12. Also if your environment is in good shape, temp humidity etc, and they're healthy going into flowering it should usually be a smooth switch.👍

Heya! I personally just make the flip to 12-12 lighting without tapering it down. In addition to the light schedule change, I still use veg nutes the first two weeks of flower for the stretch and then switch to bloom nutes. I do know of a lot of growers who do flush before they flip to flower as well, I personally don't do this. Cheers and good luck

Light question Growing autoflowers, if you gave them 2 hours less than the recommended light; would it just take a bit longer for them to fully mature or seriously affect the yield ?

Seedling growth rate Plants grow almost 1 cm per day (3rd week). Is it too little or correct? I have the impression that they still lack light (the rods are quite thin and long), maybe I should bring them closer to the LEDs?

Flip light schedule 1 week into flowering and I need to change lighting schedule, complete reversal from night/day due to cold night tempswhen lights are on. Only way to achieve would be to have 24 hours of dark. There maybe an impact but warmer day temps I'm sure will benefit in the end. Thoughts
