when do i ??

hey there guys i was wondering when do i change the light cycle from 24/0 to 12/12 or something around that nature?. i have a few plants going and one is about 4 days older than the others. ive been leaving light s on 24/0 and im just curious as to when i change the light cycle?
i have one that was planted on 9/24 and three planted on 9/28. ( one planted on 9/20 but he almost died due to over water and is some how making it by and i transplanted him yesterday)

the ones that were started on 9/28 popped on the 30th and have been under the lights for 24/0 since. so im just curiosu as to when i start the 12/12 cycles and when should i expect to start seeing any kind of buds starting?( im not in a rush for buds by any means just curious as to know when to start to look for them, and what to do to get some FINE ripe ones.)
also i was told if i use a pure juice( like fresh lemon or strawberry etc..) that i could get the plant to use that for nutes and it will also make the bud have that kind of flavor if i do it long enough while it grows, ANY TRUTH TO THIS?
thanks guys your the best

YOu should flipp to 12/12 when your ready to start the flowering, buds will start to form around 3 weeks later depending on strain.

stay away from the juice's, stick to propper fertz.

Good luck

Usually plants veg for 4 or 5 weeks before flowering. Some approaches flower them earlier with the intent of getting numerous small plants. I would let them go to at least 12 inches, maybe 18-24 before flowering. Unless you have a problem with vertical space for them, that is.

First off I Don't believe in 24/0. I always get much better results with 20/4. & 18/6.
For the first 5 weeks I do 20/4 For the next 5 I do 18/6. I usually put my plants into
flower at 10-11 weeks. So for the last 8-10 weeks I do 12/12.
I don't think your going to have strawberry tasting buds by feeding it strawberrys. lol

Some people sware by 24/0 and some do not, it's a trial and error to find out what suit's you, o.p

I agree. Gook luck friend.

thats what i thought i knew for a fact you cant make it taste that way by putting that in it, but from an old hippie that was something they " did back then" but who knows. yes tonight before bed im goin lights out and then when i wake up all day till lights out again im goin to get it light.
for the bigger one and the water damaged one its been 21 days. \
what should i do for them now? should i just let them keep growing and wake up one morning and have it be like christmas but with buds?
and for the 3 smaller guys its been 13 days.so so far im looking at ONE harvesting tand then having the other 3 harvest a week to 2/ 2.5 later?

another Q: is there anyway to sped the process up and get a plant to produce buds quicker? ( i doubt it it wouldnt be safe would it?) i saw some kids picture of his plant in a mini shot glas dixie cup it was maybe a foot or so high n had buds already i was like wtf?
