Hello, Everyone I am a first time grower I just started to do 12/12 but I just fount out I should of started at 36hr what will happen if I do 36hr now?
Here man, these guys would help you out a lot more than the kids in this section asking if their dub is a gram or not http://forum.grasscity.com/medical-marijuana-cultivation/
If I understand you correctly, you are saying you just switched to 12/12 for flowering, but didn't leave the lights off for 36 hours beforehand?...if so, I wouldn't alter the cycle now mate, if the plants are in a routine I would say giving them a 36 hour dark period now would do more harm than good....just my opinion though.
Because between the transition of veg to flower if you give it a long dark cycle all the hormones will be forsure ready for flowering. I read in a thread on here that doing 36 hours would allow for the entire plant to change over hormones and get a bigggg bud production boost right at the start.
never heard of that..it's definitely not mandatory though. Just continue on with 12/12 your plant will flower out as well as you allow it to with the conditions she gets.
