When switching to 12/12 to induce flowering, does the plant go into a non growth period for about weeks before starting the two week stretch?

I just my plants in 12/12 cycle about five days ago and they haven't grown at all. Is this normal? No bud sites as of yet either.:roll:

Depending on the age I think you will find that flowering can take a little longer to shows itself. If vegging for long periods plants will show signs of flower a lot quicker. The stretch will kick in with the first signs of hairs.

Here is my problem. I have the NL AF from Nirvana. They showed hairs at about five weeks or so. Two weeks later, still no bud. So put them in 12/12 about five days ago, but they have had any new growth and the leaves dont appear to be growing either. Is it possible that the plant is preparing to grow buds and that is why its slowed/stoped its growth?

It will probably take another 5-7 days for the buds to start to show...I find some strains can take a bit longer to flower. I usually get mine to show within 10 days. I give my girls 13 hrs darkness( COMPLETE no light leaks ) for the first 2 weeks then I go 12/12. this has always worked for me and I hope this helps you!

And when they do start to flower they will stretch mine went from 27"-54" within first 3weeks! 1 week flower/2weeks stretch, And still going! Good luck!

Fuck. I had to tranplant them because they had root lock. Hate to do it when flowering buds but I had no choice. Thanks for the responses ppl.

um if this is an auto why fuk with the3 light. thats why they shut down. auto dont need to change any lighting times. its a diff animal and needs more light for more growth. run em at 20 on and 4 off

What medi says. If you're growing Auto-Flower you shouldn't need to change the light cycle at all. 18/6 or 20/4 would be just fine from start to finish.

less light less food processing so it locked out possibly as well. lucky if they dont hemrie being auto are so unstable crap genetics..no offence to the strains.

Medi, you need to get updated on your information. Try doing some reading now and then. Nirvana has pulled their AF as they are not functioning properly. They get four feet tall, and often do not AF. So, after studing about 50 grow journals and seeing the same thing time and time again, it was determined by Nirvana that these seeds do not function as AF. Duh!

Thats why they were in those pots, b/c I thought they would only be about two feet tall. Eight weeks old and the fuckers are three feet tall. If you dont 12/12, you will never get bud. You, know that stuff you grow the plant for in the first place. Hope this clears it up for you pal.

Take your outdated sarcastic ass somewhere else.

well then dont post its an AF then if its not. i am up on stuff, is why i wouldnt waster money on nirvana. man you not read...i even said no offence. dont get your panties in a knot cause you bought bad seed or cant grow em.
seems i did hit the nail on the head then saying unstable crap if they now dont call it an auto. next to impossible to breed with them as we cant keep moms around or males. was just trying to be helpfull. when you post af we asume its an auto

Thats funny b/c I've seen your plants and they dont look exactly textbook (no offense). Maybe you should take a look at my grow journal. Anyone that sees my plants comment on how green, healthy, and lush they look. There's not a blemish on my plants: no heat, nute, water or anyother thing. Not bad for a newp with cheap seed. Not my fault the plants got bigger and didn't AF. BTW, just so you know, I was the one who did the grow journal study and informed Nirvana of the problem. Nirvana pulled the seeds due to my data I supplied them, thus saving many other growers on this site of a similar fate. I was the one who posted the warning on this site that ppl have been discussing for about week now. Where does this air of superiourty come from my friend? Half the time I cant even understand what you say its so gargled.

i realy doubt they pulled it on your 1 say so unless you worked for them. id say they finaly had enough complaints.
and to my room..yes it suks ass right now. but if you read it you would have seen that im making major room changes and have had other issues here that i dont care what they get now,.diff is i know why mine wwent bad.
you sure did post the letters AF in a post on a page back, unless its been edited. i dont make things up...why..nothing in this for me.

heres word for word what you posted for a reminder then.........................

you have no issues????...then why al;so say they locked up or need to change soils???..im not tryin to insult but you need a refresher i think on your memeory....lol


cant understand me but you sure can post an answer each time...seems you read it quite fine then.

me superiority????its you claiming all this i did and it was me that stuff....realy its ok..if i came off harsh i didnt mean to. some posts are short as im a bussy guy

just tryin to pass on info we have researched with the nute co i work for and the dr`s i do studies with. take it or leave it it dont matter to me.

Here is my problem. I have the NL AF from Nirvana. They showed hairs at about five weeks or so. Two weeks later, still no bud. So put them in 12/12 about five days ago, but they have had any new growth and the leaves dont appear to be growing either.

Dude, get off the drugs and saunce for a couple of days. I read what you posted and I'm not sure what you said. I usually go back and read a post as many time as I need to infer what the posters meaning maybe, but you wear me out. Not in the mood. If you cant put a couple of clear sentences together, speak in manner that can be understood, then why should I work harder reading it than you typing it. Please go away.
