Hi all,
I've looked all over the internet trying to find when is the earliest time I can change the light cycle to begin flowering. I am trying to do the SOG method and have started from seeds.
So far I have 4 plants transplanted in their final 6 inch containers in a 2.5 square feet cabinet on a 24/0 light cycle since germination two weeks ago. I have heard you can begin the flowering cycle as early as 2 weeks, but the average is 4-6 weeks. Also, some articles give advice based on the size of the plants, but I am using CFL's and have the plants as close to light without them actually touching the bulbs since they do not produce as much heat, so I believe that is keeping them from stretching since they all seem relatively bushy. I really have no room in the cabinet for too much vertical growth and thus would like to begin flowering as soon as possible.
Thanks for any advice!
