24 hours of dark best for what? Yes, if growing photoperiod plants you go to 12/12 to stimulate flowering. If growing auotos, stay at 18/6 the entire grow cycle, veg and flowering.

Weird Autos (RQS NLA, same strain) still vegging day 50. Only some preflower, but nice plants. WHAT would YOU do?!
This is the most unpredictable auto flowers I've ever had. It will be 50 days soon and only preflower on one plant. Ive used a 12/12 light schedule on autos before. Should I try this on these plants? If, so keep it 12/12 untill the end? No turning back to 20/4 when they go?

Putting back into veg before pistils and sexual maturity?
Can you veg even after a 12/12 from seed has been in flower room 3 weeks shes just not big enough and would also like to top her so I really am considering it, the reason being is I can't see one pistil yet which means she's not mature, I don't see why it would make a difference

How should I trigger flowering?
I am trying to get my plants to flower. I have switched to a 12/12 schedule, but this does not seem to be changing anything. Should I perhaps give it 24 hours of darkness first?

The FLIP
Getting ready for the good ol’e flip. What do most do you guys do for the light schedule? Is it better say (on/off) 12am/12pm, or 6am/6pm. Worried about daytime activities in that room. My schedule will accommodate just about anything, so what are you thoughts?
