How to switch plants to flowering without 12/12 light?

qWazistarted grow question 5 months ago

Hey growers! How to switch plants to flowering without 12/12 light? Power outages mess up my schedule (5h off, 4h on, 3h off, etc.). I can't afford a power station. Plants get 8-14h light/day, but not consistently. Limited space, can't veg for long. Any ideas?

lights on can be scattered, lights off can't. it needs uninterrupted darkness. So just unplug it from lets say 9pm to 9am then have it on and hope the hydro does not go out as much. any time frame works does not have to be 9-9. do what works best for you. but you 100% have the ability to give it 12hrs of darkness. just maybe not 12hrs of lights on.

You need to give her at least 10 h of complete darkness (better 12h). So you should turn off your lights for such a period and turn it on for the rest of the time ignoring outages and other power issues during her lights period.. Check there aren't lack of lights (e.g. lampions) when she is in the dark or bad things can happen.. Remember, at least 10h of complete darkness... Have a nice grow !
