You don't do entire grows on 12/12 light cycles. I'm not sure where you got that idea but it wasn't from this site.

You need to veg your plants for a few weeks at least... this involves leaving them on an 18/6 light cycle until they reach sexual maturity. You'll notice the nodes on your plants are symmetrical... once they start to alternate you can flower at will. This means (you guessed it) 12/12!

When you DO finally switch to 12/12, make sure your space is 100% light free during the night cycle. something tells me it isn't...

Also, I would highly recommend reading stinkyattic's beginners guide:http://boards.cannabis.com/basic-gro...-dankness.html. It will help you at a lot. :thumbsup:
