problem is people get a herm and blame anything they can, with apparently a complete lack of understanding with regards to botany. or better yet, they dont get a herm but parrot nonsense theyve heard,..
Once it hits 12/12 its flowering. the hormones have built up really after about 10hrs, depending genetics. Your now just waiting for the plant to do its thing and keep growing. Once hormones have built from the flip, the 12hrs. they are then destroyed by light the following day, and another 12 the following night builds that hormone up to levels flowering requires again. Doing this succesively creates the "flower" growth..
the plant knows no "stress" flowering restarts everyday anyway ok,
There are three physiological developments that must occur in order for "flowering" to take place: firstly, the plant must pass from sexual immaturity into a sexually mature state (i.e. a transition towards flowering); secondly, the transformation of the apical meristem function from a vegetative meristem into a floral meristem or inflorescence, this is all visible once you can see sex appear on the plant.. An external stimulus is then required in order to trigger the differentiation of the meristem into a flower. This stimulus will activate mitotic cell division in the meristem, particularly on its sides where new primordia are formed. This same stimulus will also cause the meristem to follow a developmental pattern that will lead to the floral growth..
again, the plant is almost inanimate, its not thinking, the side effect if you will is a direct chemical reaction
Describing the flowering
which is essentially how all plants work rather long or short day
just...flip it.
"The signal is initiated by the production of messenger RNA (mRNA) coding a transcription factor called CONSTANS (CO). CO mRNA is produced approximately 12 hours after dawn, a cycle regulated by the plant's biological clock. [3] This mRNA is then translated into CO protein. However CO protein is stable only in light, so levels stay lowthroughout short days and are only able to peak at dusk during long days when there is still a little light. [4][5] CO protein promotes transcription of another gene called Flowering Locus T (FT). By this mechanism, CO protein may only reach levels capable of promoting FT transcription when exposed to long days. Hence, the transmission of florigen -- and thus, the induction of flowering-- relies on a comparison between the plant's perception of day/night and its own internal biological clock. [2]"
now like some others i have changed when the dark period is, through longer day length and night.. ive given days of 24/0 light during flower and days of dark, and done this many times at different weeks in flower. on hundreds of plants...
