Switching to Flower.

[jondog123]

I started my plants on 12/12 about 5 days ago but I forgot to give them 24 hours of darkness before doing so. Do I need to try to do this now or will they recognize they are in flower with the 12 hours of light I have been giving them for five days?

Why are you giving them 24 hours of darkness??

You're fine putting them directly into 12/12

Some people say its good to give them a whole day of darkness to 'reset their internal clocks' so the plants know its time to flower when you put them on 12/12 after. But thanks for the input, I was just making sure.

Yeah I think you're fine really either way it's going to start to flower

Alright, great. Thanks.

since 24 hrs of darkness does not occur in nature (at least where green plants grow), i think i can confidently say that the need for 24 hrs of darkness before switching to 12/12 to "reset their internal clock" is nonsense. Unfortunately, when it comes to growing weed - there seems to be a lot of that going around.
