    Default Call me a moron - 12/12 lighting vs. Flowering

    Hey guys,

    I feel stupid, but I think I Finally understand something very basic and important.

    12/12 does not equal flowering.

    Tell me if I'm wrong, but I think that is right.

    I am new, 4 days into 12/12 on my first grow, things are going great. I have been trying to guess when my plants will be done and I wanted to know where to count from with a 8-9 week flowering time (for my strain). That 8-9 weeks is counted from the time the plants start showing Flowers???? Is that correct.

    Before I thought 12/12 was flower, so when you switch to 12/12 you switch to Flower Nutes, and you start counting Day 1 flower, Day 2...... I think I was wrong??? I was wasn't I?

    So unique opportunity for you. Tell me I was a moron, and I'll be happy.

    But seriously, I was wrong before and now I'm right?

    8 weeks flower means 8 weeks from when you first start seeing flowers?

    I may be wrong, but I think a lot of first timer mess this up. (it's probably just me)

    day 1 flower is the day you switch to 12/12.

    Damn. So I'm wrong about being wrong.

    So... my plants should be in flower 8 weeks (acording to strain info). That means 8 weeks of 12/12. (or should be if I don't fuck things up)

    I have a bong just like the one ernie is smoking.

    The 8 week thing is just an indication, might take longer.
