¿36 hours of darkness second half of August to speed up flowering?_

Agricola_Borealisstarted grow question 5y ago

I read a trick for indoor growers to give the plants 36 hours of darkness before switching the light schedule to 12 / 12 to kickstart flowering. Would it be a good idea to do this outside, just at the moment that they give the first sign of flowering?

No the reason for this is indoor your doing a sudden switch from XX/XX to 12/12 and by giving the extended darkness your "Convincing" the plant its now time to flower. Where outdoor its a gradual change to 12/12. If you are already seeing flowering then she is flowering. Happy Growing

Does anyone know if the final harvest will suffer from the 1/2 initial weeks delay?Does anyone know if the final harvest will give lower yields because of the first 1/2 weeks seedling delay given that its an autoflowering strain? Do you think the plant is right on time by the pics(regarding its height and foliage)and if the pistils popping out is not too early?
