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?

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 !
