Switching 12-12 slow?
Budz_Madnessstarted grow question 4 years ago
Hi, rdy to flower. Does it make any difference to go 12-12 straight or half hour/day from 18 to12... I guess less stress impact and more controllable stretching... help me out if you tried it before... thanks peace and happiness...

Most people go straight to 12-12. I have done it that way also. I have also done it by taking an hr off a day 17,16,15,14,13,12. That worked out great also. 👍👍 From The White House

Hey @Budz_Madness. I'll be up front, I've never done a staggered switch to 12/12 where you slowly swap over a long period of time. I know some people do it.. But I have always gone straight to 12/12 .. as far as stress is concerned I don't think it's really a factor. As far as controllable stretching.. I'm not entirely sure if it would help or not. Slowly swapping from 18 to 12 will in my opinion just delay the plant actually switching to flower.. and if your goal is to get the plant to make that transition just swap to 12/12. Its proven to work.. the i502 production facilities I've worked in do it, many other growers do it. If stretch is an issue you can try to make your flip earlier in the future or try some training methods to control your plant such as LST or Supercropping. I hope the reply helped. Good luck buddy

I got to harvest in 14 days: in order to have enough time to cure it before leaving home for 2 weeks (safety first: is a period of floods in here, I just can't take the risk). I had a pretty long vegetative stage but I'm gonna finish it at 13 weeks. Am I gonna ruin it it, right?8 months ago

How much time could it be until the plant is ripe?Looking at the image of the trichomes (and ignoring the little black lint xD) can someone give me maybe a rough estimate on how long they could still take? Could it be a week, could it be 3 weeks?
I feel a bit unsure because I already see some amber ones too.Week 11

Should I harvest in 2-3 weeks ?Hey, do you think my plants might be ready in two weeks ? They're autos in 7th week of their life. I know that 9 weeks is ok for most, but these should take approx. 11 weeks. Do you think one more week of feeding, then flush would be appropriate ? Trichomes are mostly milky whiteBuds. Other
