You can do this, and may people do. You can eliminate the veg cycle completely, but I imagine you'll want at least a week or so of veg time after the seed sprouts. It is common for people growing from clones to have no veg time at all, at least after the cutting has established roots. I prefer at least a month of veg, so I get some weed for my efforts.

I imagine some varieties will sprout from seed with only 12/12 lighting, but I'm not sure. I've never thought about that before. Anyone? Why not just use 24/0 or 18/6 until sprouting to be sure, and to give the plant the best start it can have? It can't cost that much more in electricity.
