Hello Everyone,

I’m in the middle of my second indoor grow right now, and as I get my plants ready to flower, I’d want some suggestions from community members. My plants, a hybrid of Blue Dream and Gorilla Glue strains, have been in the vegetative stage for roughly eight weeks now, and I’m utilising a 4×4 tent with a 600W LED light. Although they appear healthy, I want to make sure I set the light cycle correctly so that they can bloom.

I am aware that the typical guideline is for the light cycle to start the flowering period at 12/12. My question is if it’s preferable to switch from an 18/6 to a 12/12 timetable gradually or if it’s best to do it all at once. Does a slow change affect yield in any way or lessen stress on the plants?

In addition, there are differing views on the internet regarding how much light is appropriate for the plants at this stage. To optimise bud development, should I turn up the intensity of my LED light, or should I leave it at its current setting to spare the plants from stress?

Lastly, if anyone has any advice on controlling humidity and temperature during flowering, it would be very appreciated. Right now, my temperature is 75°F with 50% humidity. Should I start to make changes as I get closer to flowering?

I look forward to hearing from you all with any tips or advice! Making the most of this grow is something I want to ensure.

Thank you in advance for your support.
