Question about hour timings when switching over to flower cycle.

[Buckingbong420]

Just wondering what the general consensus is when it comes to setting the on and off times when you flower your girls? Obviously going to a 12/12 cycle but does it matter what time of the day you set your on and/or off time in relation to your veg cycle timing?

They are currently coming on at 4pm and off at 10am. Is it more important to still go off at 10, or still come on at 4, or does it not matter at all as the plants will work it out after a couple of days?

They'll sort themselves out with the light change

As sooty said any 12hr time is fine as it'll take a week or 2 to notice any changes once going to flower.

generally most keep the on time & adjust the off time when changing from veg to flower cycle

but that's not a hard & fast rule , most do that so they only have to change one setting on there

light timer & not both on & off settings 

 

only possible down side to running a dark period during daylight hours is light leaks 

have you checked for any light leaks in your space ?

Cheers all. I didnt think it would matter much but thought Id better double check.

Yeah I ended up keeping the off time the same so gonna run dark 10am to 10pm. We arent far from the mountains and its already getting really cold here at night so I need all the help I can get keeping them warm. And they are in a tent inside a very large room so light isnt an issue, only problem is going to be its also my smoking room so Ill be choofing under a small reading lamp for a while !
