Hi Everyone, I just wanted to know how big does the alternating nodes have to be before I start 12/12?
as soon as the nodes start to alternate it is ready for flower. not sure what you mean by "how big does the alternating node have to be?"
what exactly is alternating nodes? Is it when additional leaves grow on a junction, from the main stem to a branch with leaves?
Alternating nodes, are when the "branches" coming from the main stem start to alternate=-{} {}- -{} {}-. Instead, of growing parallel=-{}- -{}- -{}- -{}-. I think you get the idea. There are actual pictures and explanations on this site already. Just try typing "Alternating Nodes" into the Search.
here is a link to a very obvious picture of alternating nodes http://forum.growkind.com/forum/topic.php?forum=4&topic=95
