Do you kickstart flowering by 48 hrs. darkness?

I read that somewhere and wanted to know if many people do with success? If not is just starting 12/12 the best approach?

I used to give it 36 hours of darkness at the start, but to be honest, never noticed much difference. Now I just use 12/12 from the start.

I just switch to 12/12, but I think I'm going to start going from 18/6 > 16/8 > 14/10 > 12/12 gradually next time though. Also Bud Blood from Advanced Nutrients does work! Use it and you will have pistols flying out everywhere right off the bat.

i did a side by side, i had 15 clones and i put two in i think 36 hours of darkness and the rest straight into twelve twelve. i use bud blood which is awesome and there really is no difference. u would not be able to tell which two got the darkness. bud blood does do work tho i highly highly recomend it

I use Iguana Juice products from Adv. Nut. Should I still get Bud Blood when the org. Iguana Juice is an overall fert?

yes sirrrrrrrr
