one of my older friends who has been growing for 30 years told me to shift my light times to different times to shock my plants into budding. but how would u do this if you have to do 12/12? my plants have had the begining part of budding on the stems for about a month now but they aren't getting any bigger? fdoes anyone have any ideas on that? he also said that i have to get them to quit growing up and get them to start growing there buds how would u do this? thanks ahead of time for any help.
This is my first grow and they are 4 months old and we have been changing the lights around if they have been stressed will they still bud? the part that i thought was budding i read and it is pre-flowering how long do they pre-flower?
