When to flower

[Exodose17]

When are they ready to be flowered?

You can really flower a plant whenever you want to...Its pretty much up to you.

that is true... but it's not sexually mature untill it reaches alternating nodes... and I've found if you try to flower before maturity... it takes it's time to kick into flower ... almost like it wasn't ready to flower yet.

If you want to see alternating internodes at any time during early veg kick the plant into 12/12. It will begin alternating withing 15 days. You are forcing it to mature by doing this. But technically the minute you take the light hours to 12/12 you are increasing the flowering hormone called flurol and the plant IS in flower.
