Hi everyone,
I am just switching over to flower on some photoperiod Jack Herer. On previous grows I have done a dark cycle for 24 hours to help initiate flowering. This time I have went straight to 12-12, as of this morning. So my plants got 12 hours light and went off at 8am today. I am now stressing a bit that I should have gone straight to the darkness period. Would it be a bad idea to now do the darkness period? I was thinking just leaving the lights off now for 36 hours until 8 pm tomorrow. Or If I was going to to do it, I should have just went straight to darkness. And not done a 12 hours cycle first?
I want to be able to reduce stretch as much as possible as these things are beasts, and far larger then previous grows. So I am concerned stretch will fill my tent up too much!
I would appreciate any specific advice folks have!
