How should I trigger flowering?
thecellardoorstarted grow question 4 years ago
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?

Once you changed from 16/8 to 12/12 to trigger flowering, this can take 2-3 weeks before anything happens, one week is not long enough and your plant must firstly change her hormones from grow phase to flower phase and this occurs slowly and gradually.
Hang in there, it will happen, but it won't happen overnight.
Do not try giving total darkness, this will just mess with everything your plant is going through.
And yeah, normal pictures in normal light are far, far superior.
Hope this helps,..........

Hi mate, can't really see your plant properly because of the burple lights. You should take pics with you lights off and just the flash. If you have just changed to 12/12 then it may take a couple weeks for the plant to start flowering. I wouldn't do any darkness as you are more likely to stress her hermie. If its been a number of weeks since the switch then you have problem, most likely light leaks stopping her from flowering.
I hope this helps, good luck and happy growing

That strain does not reach maturity to flower till 43 to 69 days. Something like that. So if your week counter is right I would hold off a few more weeks. 🌱👍

Takes about 2 weeks to start seeing it. Plant is changing gears. Leave it in 12/12. Don't cause unnecessary stress by darkness. Start adding bloom booster and gradually increase. Plant will want a lot of potassium and phosphorus soon go easy on nitrogen as flowering goes. Good luck and happy growing. Hope this helps🌱🌱🌱

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?5 years ago

If this was yours, how would you proceed?Going into week 6. I just clipped the bad leaves that show in the picture and will be switching to the growing stage. I plan to do the 36 hours of darkness first. Already changed the water and it has the bloom solution instead of the grow solution. What would you do now?5 years ago

Erratic light cycles for the first weekAny experience with keeping a seedling in 12/12 to begin with, then switching over to 18/6 after the first week? Because I did that this time for tech reasons, and I do wonder if I produced a hermie. My own notion is that it will just set me a week back perhaps. Anyone know tho?
