u need ATLEAST 18 hours of light till the plant has gone into vegatative state, after a week of that, if there is really nice growth, i geuss u could go to llike 16, then next week 14, then 12 but 12 off the start is just stupid.
and if u force,flower them to immature, they will hermie:mad: =bad lol
Actually, that's untrue. YES, you can give the plants 12/12 from the begining and as soon as they can flower, they will. And dont think you'll end up with a tiny plant. You wont. Obviously its better with a veg stage, but it WONT stress the plant. There was a thread about this a while ago, and some pics were posted and it looked very nice.

Just something to keep in mind. :thumbsup:
:D sure are a lot of uninformed answers so far ... if you start with 12 hours, you will not stress the plant .. you will just have very slow growth, and you need some maturity before going into the flower cycle, if you want any sort of results ... bottom line: growing takes time ... :smokin:
I concur with lip and reaper
the plant will still grow and it won't flower right away... it will still invest time and energy into growing into a mature plant before it flowers...
try to give it at least 1 week of 18+ hours of light
think of it like this.. just because you mate, doesn't mean you will produce babies... humans need to be old/mature enough to produce sperm and eggs...
there is a thread in this section that I started that shows a plant that is flowered at 15days with only 4 nodes....

Get some clones.
Some people repeat what they have read. Alot of posts does not mean informed answers.
well you dont think 12/12 from the start will be enough to get like 40 seeds?
bump ^
In equatorial regions, the longest days are only 13 hours long. Some strains with origins from those regions, do extremely well, grown in photoperiods that range from 13/11-11/13...
I think you would be better off with a longer photoperiod, at least for 3-4 weeks...once the plant is 8-12" high, then flower.
Personally, I veg my plants 15/9 or 14/10...I do not veg them 18 or 24 hours, I root them at 24/0, but as soon as they are placed; they go under 15/9 or 14/10...
In my belief, (I got this idea fron Henk, owner of Dutch Passion Seeds) this helps to produce female plants...If you want males and want to produce seeds, then you need the longer photoperiod 18-24 hours of light.
Now, I know you want to say something...:D

p.s. Del posted a real cool thread on this last year...I will try and find it. But, what really sold me on shorter veg photoperiods were the words of 'Henk'
I was growing Cali o from seeds and flowered as soon as they get there first set of leaves it work great man! Guess it depend on the strain You would need a sativa or a good strain that will double or triple its height. Go for it!:thumbsup:
The reason you found out the sex and it works so greatwas because it was a sativa.Indicas and afgahns are not at all the same.They don't stretch near as bad or get as tall.therfore when you set lights as to sex them,your strain grew abit so as to better tell the sex.Smaller seedling have a tendency to knot up at the node and it's hard to tell the sex.For the novice,anyway.I know what time it is.

ok its been about 10 days since i planted my plants on 12/12 and i have to say they have grown at about double the rate they normally would grow in the seedling stage under 20/4
Yo...dumbass person here, with a dumb ass question...wtf is 12/12 anyways? i just put some seeds in soil and want to know just how to get them started.

I suggest you read up.
Or your plants will die.
The only time this is OK.Quote:

They grow tall from seedling in 12/12.
dont you guys realize that plants grow with prob less that 12 hours of light in nature? there nothing wrong with a 12/12 cycle from seed.
my plants are 30 days old! They were grown under a 110 watt fluro 12/12
from start in organic soil with no ferts in a 1 gallon milk jug right now in the same 1 gallon milk jug 2 of the plants are 4 feet tall and the third is 2 and a half feet tall. I have some pictures of it that ill post later, o also all 3 plants turned out female so yay.
TH3.. this is from SEED or CLONE...??
Let me understand this.. you took a CLONE (unrooted).. grew it under 12 hours of light and 12 hours of uninterupted darkness and in 30 days it is 4 feet tall.. under a 110 watt fluorescent bulb..?
yes please post a picture..
How many nodes are there?
Is it the worlds most lanky plant
Can it stand on its own?
Does it have female pistils?
I really look forward to seeing this picture.

UMmmmmm..
please forgive me.. BUT there is NO way those plants were grown under a single 110 watt fluorescent bulb...
there has to be some sort of mis communication going on..
please clarify and post more pictures..
THANKS T3
i vegged and am flowering 1 plant under [138w=445w] 4 CFLs... but thats 1 plant...
and maybe that has nothing to do with anything...
ok im stoned.

I flowered my cuttings directly under 12/12 with success. they did not end up huge plants as I planned for my small actic.
I will experience from a seed and I am 99% sure they will be fine too
12/12 will definately be sufficient for a plant but yield will be much reduced than if vegging for some weeks. I think.
