    Default Flipping from veg to flower gradually?

    So I’m flipping the girls tonight, I’ve been reading up and a lot of people say that doing it gradually (and hour less light a day until you reach 12/12) will help stop them stretching so much? Does anyone know if this is true or not?
    Also here’s a pic of my babies. I’m quite proud of them for my first grow, 2 X white widow, 3 X northern lights. Click image for larger version.

    Thanks a lot, I did think it was a lot of faffing about, and do you leave yours in darkness for 24 hours before you switch or is that a waste of time too?

    i tried it, going from 18hrs down to 12hrs adding 30minutes extra dark each night
    they still stretched normally before they budded up, so it definitely didn't stop stretch,

    was worth trying it but as with lots of internet tips, it simply didn't work

    Straight into 12/12 no messing about mate. As for 24 hours of darkness been there done that, done f all so I'd advise against.

    Lovely bushes for your first grow gotta say.

    All the messing about over complicating things gets you in trouble, Keep It Simple you'll do great
