So as I have gone down the learning road of growing I have used and heard alot of different opinions on ways to transition from a veg to flower.
At first i started out like most everyone else and just did a straight transfer from 18/6 one night to 12/12 the next, I used the with good success as do alot of people.
Next I tried doing a multi day dark period transfer from 18/6 to 12/12 with 2-3 days of darkness in between. This method also seemed to work pretty well.
As i was growing I took a trip to British Columbia with my buddy to stay with his relatives who are pretty heavy into bud. While we were there he was transitioning from veg to flower but he was COUNTING BACK the hours. The transition he used counted back an hour every day for 7 days until he reached 12/12 then he would leave it and they would go crazy.
As i think about it does slightly imitate the changing of summer into fall it makes alot of sense so i tried it.
I've gone through a couple of grows doing this transition and I think it works the best I'm seeing a fairly quick onset of flowering as well as less stretching which i like.
I thought this would be an interesting thread to start cause it seems everyone has a favorite transition style and it seems to me to make a difference.
So
What way do you use?
Have you heard of any other ways?
What works best for you?
