“You’ll need to ensure your plants receive absolutely no light for 12 uninterrupted hours. If that darkness is interrupted for even a few seconds, your plants may delay flowering, or become hermaphrodites. You may also need more or less than 12 hours of darkness, depending on the strain. Some strains need as much as 14 hours of darkness!”

This is a quote from a guide posted on the ILGM website. Also here is the link to the guide.

Not familiar with different strains but maybe its one that needs more dark??

Hopefully you and yours are doing good and healthy and happy…
Plant’s are lookin happy and healthy… :+1::wink:
3 weeks till I see flowers in the past , now that I run the gas lantern method in vegg , I usually see flowers starting to pop in 10 to 12 days…
Also could be strain specific as well…
Just depends… :man_facepalming::man_shrugging::upside_down_face::laughing::grin::wink:

Yes , but the biggest Benefit is how fast the plant’s grow and they are super healthy and just all around vigorous in growth…
They are also on the verge of flower the whole time , so when the time comes to flip them , they go right into flower… :+1::wink:
Also helps with sexing new seeds…
I have new strains that I’m running and I’ve already got them showing sex…
Like I said , right on the verg of flowering…
