I once had a grow that had 3-4 days darkness when I transitioned from 24/0 to 12/12. This was sort of by accident however. I had fast flower with friends commenting on what a great strain it was.
This time, by reason of family visitation, I again went 3-4 days dark period which I timed to be during my family's stay. My plants had to stay under my bathroom sink. They were at the time 5 weeks veg and began showing signs maturation on peripheral growth. This is my current grow and I've got some fast flowering again. It was less than a week after they had the extended dark period when 3 out of 11 showed sex and 2 of those 3 had aggressively started pistol formation
So..... anyone else do a long dark period when they go from 24/0 to 12/12?
If so, why wouldn't this be common practice? Beneficial or detrimental?
I take my comments off the air
