Photoperiod 12/12 from seed??

12/12 from seed

And 12/12 for seeds for photos is a waste. It has NO influence on early flowering, the plants have to mature X number of days before they'll flower no matter what the light cycle, so you'll only lose out from reduced plant development.

Rooted clones can be put under 12/12 right away.

You know whats really bothering me ?? Those f.. 10-14days they need to start flowering, so two-three weeks of veg arent just two weeks its whole month..
 
But I was talking about photoP weed.. :)

I read everywhere, that autoF on 12/12 is epic fale yield wise.
Go ahead and run a photo from seed breaking soil at 12/12 lights and let us no how it's doing.
 
I have done 12/12 seed on my old forum, it produced ok but i wouldn't do it again.
Cannabis will only start to flower under 12/12 after it has reached sexual maturity approx 3 week (can vary with strain/pheno)
If anyone is doing it to reduce the height of photo sativas it is a waste of time better of having a mature mother and taking cuttings , then put the rooted cutting straight into 12/12 and use a training method such as SCOG if they are a really long flowering equatorial strain.
If the strain isn't a really long flowering sativa and more like a 12-14 weeker 12/12 rooted cutting can be done as a sea of green!.
Been so many years since i did a photo grow but I'm toying with doing one, there are some really nice strains out there, Bhodi, TGA Subcool & BOG seeds all have my attention.
 
I'm sure it will work. Dope plants are pretty resilient. Try growing Orchids...Lol. I have to assume that its just counterintuitive. If some weird situation required the 12/12 only lighting schedule, I'm sure you can make it work. Might be slow to flower because there is no hard edged line of darkness. Gotta do it chemically instead. Tear it up bro....Just most folks would rather just maximize their yield/grow area and even though it sounds interesting, you are going opposite of thousands of years of evolution where light gets shorter as the plant matures. I love Tesla...One of the craziest dudes ever. Genius/Madness - two sides of the same coin. He was so far ahead of Edison. Earthquake machine, Wardencliff tower, wireless electricity for free, AC power...His downfall was that he wasn't a greedy man. His projects funding would get pulled by folks like JP Morgan and George Westinghouse, because they found out he wanted to give back to humanity, and they just want to take and line their own pockets. One of the only civilians to get raided by the FBI...They went to his lab and stole all his work. I've heard they were after the Earthquake machine design. It worked on resonant frequency and once dialed in would just smash with a little hammer at VERY precise intervals based on some crazy algorithm. Some of his neighbors reported feeling small earthquakes on a very regular basis when he was testing the device. Apparently it worked better than he expected and could bring down any metal bridge or building pretty quickly. Tacoma Narrows bridge suffered the same fate, only by mother nature. Same principal though. Good ole galloping Girdey. The preceeding history lesson was brought to you by Dr.Bubbles and the letter 7. And by VIEWERS LIKE YOU!!

@arty zan My main goal of doing that is to avoid that 2 week of switch.. Not money or el.wise. So maybe if I start first two weeks 18/6 ? then in the start of 3rd week I switch to 12/12 ?? I know that they will not start flowering faster , but I wanna somehow avoid that 2 weeks, or incorporate them in veg/flower mode. If you can decode what I'm thinking.. I got hint by few people about bodhi seeds (goyi strain) so This is on my to do list...
@Dr.Bubbles I grown up on documentaries about animals and science.. Till today I adore watching Animal channel, discoveries channels,History channel. Escpecialy with few sputniks in my hand.. Tesla was genius.. But humanity or should I say people In power are too corrupted to be working on mankind sake, they only chase profit.. Like now in this pot industry..
 
There is no way to get around the genetic limits.14-21 days is the usual for photo periods, some even longer. Run 24/0 in veg then flip to 12/12. Pre-flower stretch usually last 7-14 days. This is the time it take the plant to transition from veg to flower. Sure you can rtun 12/12 start to finish if you want small plants, but they will NOT flower any faster. If thats a problem get some fast autos.
