thats what i thought but heres the deal i went to check them and all of them have little spikes they could be new branches? but on one plant it had a couple tiny balls that look like leaves either bunched up or pods?

What is your theory behind 24 hours of dark prior to flower? Never tried this and I've had no problems.

Indica's show faster than saliva's in my experience, I have a Indica that shows pistils after 5/6 days, my SSH takes about 14

it puts the plants into shock and when the lights come back on it goes oh shit i missed a day its time to flower and it speeds up the buds bigger and faster

I would like to see a side by side of this theory on same clones (maybe I'll run it myself) have 1 plant go into 12/12 on day 1 and another into 24 dark on day one and see if they show noticeable difference, I don't know that it would make much difference, plus I'm a patient so I'd probably get medicated and forget to turn the light back on lol.

I have chopped plants straight from garden and have done 24, 48, 72 hours of darkness prior to harvest, I have not done enough testing to determine if there is a benefit to sticking em in the dark prior to harvest.
