Some people say you can flower with 16/8, but most everyone flowers with 12/12.

12/12 is the tried and true flowering cycle, no sense trying to reinvent the wheel, millions of growers can't be wrong.

The plant will start to flower around 15/9. I have always done 12/12 though, and it will probably help out the power bill. I agree with others on this that 12/12 is the tried and true way, so I would just stick with that.

There may be strains out there that would respond to such a cycle, but I would never advise that cycle.

Auto flowers use 20/4. Other than that you could maybe do 13 - 14 hours but like everyone said... go 12/12.
