You can put them on 12/12 any time you want but the smaller they are the less your yield will be. I wait till they have alternating nodes. What's alternating nodes you say? It's when your nodes are opposite one another; instead of straight across from one another. When you see this your plant is mature and ready to flower. This strain i have now showed alternating nodes at 8'' and i put them on 12/12 and they have doubled in size in 18 days 12/12. Just remember; they will double or even triple in size when you hit 12/12.
double or triple in size!?!?! no shit. damn. this could cause some problems for my shit. ah well. i guess we'll see soon enough. i'll let you all know if my plants start to push up against the roof. i cant believe that they would double on 12/12 tho. its way less light. just doesnt add up in my primitive cerebrum....
