How to Trigger
Zappdoggystarted grow question 3y ago
30 years ago I grew a lot under HPS and have just recently gotten back into it. One thing we always did was to turn off the lights for a 24 hour period to supposedly trigger the plants faster. I learned this from the person who taught me how to grow.
Has anyone heard of this?

Heard of it, yes... necessary, no... Just changing the lights to 12/12 will flip them into flower... but the 24 hour lights out certainly won't hurt!
Welcome back to the wonderful world of growing! A lot has changed but I think the basics will always be the basics!! Good luck...

@GrowingGrannie
Thanks for the reply. I haven't used that method since I found it wasn't necessary. I actually found that the plants would show some signs of stress for a few days after. My last crop I didn't do that and they showed no signs of stress.
Some very nice grows in your diaries. All the best.

Too early for harvest?Hello,I'm looking at one of the quick ones and I see that the pistils are starting to become amber. Is she almost ready to harvest? Personally I think the buds are still small but I haven't used any nutes so.... will be waiting at least another week before harvesting (or longer?)
