Pit I was curious why 30 hrs of dark b4 flower? I've read of a few others doing so but I don't understand why exactly.
BWC....great to see you. to make the story short Ill just give the quick and dirty.
An Oldhead told me many things. one was 30 hrs down then bloom.
It sends a clear signal to the plant to bloom. It reduces stretch..Butcher has proved in in a test. He took 4 clones from 1 plant. 3 of then were thrown into 12/12 like he does normally. the 4th was aprox 30% shorter and the trunk twice as thick....all 4 same pheno...if my numbers are incorrect Butcher please post it...I might be conservative on the height.
I always do 30 hrs ..........about 25 members here do 30 hrs based on this.
Cervantes says 36 hrs for the same reason. my Oldhead has grown thousands of plants over 30 years..I trust him, I trust Cervantes and Im willing to state it as fact that is works. no doubt that there will be some flak but I dont care.
again...good to see you!!
