Dark period

was wondering, gonna b starting to flower on saturday, and was wondering,(lol) if anyone has done like a 24 hr dark cycle to start it off, or somthing on that order? if soo, how it worked out.

i have heard that too but never tried it...let me know how that goes if u try it

lol what is your goal in trying this????

no goal... just heard it somewhere was wondering if anyone has tried it, thought it might kick it into flowering a bit quicker...i dont know, first time growin indoors, still learnin!

I have read where almost EVERY light cycle has been tried. However, plants know that a day is 24 hours long. I once did a calculation to determine the minimum hours of light, anywhere in the world, where cannabis grows. It is 12 hour days at the end of the growing year in north Aghanastan. So 14/10 starts most strains into flowering.

What i do is give the plants 36 hrs of total darkness. It is supposed to give the plant a strong signal to start to flower. Others say it made no difference. This is one of those things that if ya think it helps then its fine. It will not do any harm.

thanx for the replys think i might give it a wurl!

Heard a few try it but never heard anything from it. Some even like to go 3 days dark before harvest but never seen anything come from either

I just read that in High time earlier about the 24hr dark period and was planning on doing that sunday before I flip the lights monday

DAMN! that was the longest 24 hrs! was driving me nuts not bein able to check my lil ladies, was waitin by the door when lights came on! lol, couldnt get in there quick enough. time to see how long it takes them to hit "PUBERTY"! hopefully 1000w will serve them nicely!!!

Sweeet I hope all goes well.Ive been dying to turning my lights on but.... My light have been off since last night at 930...so 24.5hrs now Im not turning them on till 3 tommorow afternoon=)My plants have grown at least a inch since turning the lights off last night I was in there earlier(I have a green light in there also=)...

Yup, some say it forces the plant into flower bc the plant thinks it is going to die and it wants to reproduce. So let us know how it goes.

if it doesn't I'll be losing 47 primo clones=)
