My boiler done the same during the week mate, the water pressure dropped to 0.6bar and wouldn't fire up. Long story short, it just needed more water pumped into it.

It happened to me cos, I let my gas run out, but the heating timer was still pumping water through the heating system. So I figure, with the gas being off and the cold water still being pumped around the system it empties the boiler reducing the pressure.

Nothing against your personal methods Pukka (each to their own) but using the 12/12 time as guide is flawed as it's subjective.

If you flip a plant 12/12 it doesn't start flowering straight away, it takes a good 10-14 days or so for the plant to go through the transition between veg and flower.
When a seedbank lists a strain as being an 8 week flowerer it means exactly that, 8 weeks flowering and not 8 weeks 12/12.
All strains take a different amount of time to go through the transition and stretch so 12/12 can never be accurate.

People not thinking logically and pulling 8 week strains after 8 weeks 12/12 is what causes most growers to have substandard results.

On Tuesday these will have had 6 weeks 12/12 but they certainly won't be finished for at least another 5 weeks, one will take longer than that.

Plants don't have internal clocks, it's all about hormones.

Giving 24-48 hours dark before 12/12 flip could theoretically shorten the transition period slightly but it still won't make the plant form buds any quicker, that transitional stretch and shape change of the plant before forming buds can't be eliminated. Like I say it's all about the build up of hormones, nute companys talking about "sending signals" and "tricking plants" is all marketing bollocks.
