I always use 24/0 for vegatative growth and 12/12 for the flowering cycle. Cannabis in vegatative growth does not require a dark period to rest from photosynthesis. Think of your plant growing outside. Pretty much getting 12 hours of lights a day. Now imagine that plant getting eternal sunshine. With 24/0 you can get two outdoor days in one day indoors. This will cut down your growing time by 50% compared to outdoor growing or by one and a half if you just did the 18/6.

thanks for that info. at which week do you start your 12/12? also i have the light 24 inches away from plant with a fan blowing in between. exhaust vent in on and my humidity is about 35%. put a bowl of water in the room trying to increase the humidity.

-What strain are you growing so I can estimate when flowering will begin?
-Humidity is really low there. Might want to look into a humidifier.

its really up to you when to flower. (bigger plant, more bud!)
but anytime after 3 weeks of veg will be ok!

i got these seeds from jamacia last month the weed was super strong.

Depends how large you want the plants to be you can flower about 1 to 3 months after vegging.

took some pics, the plants were a little over 6ft tall.

As long as calax formation begins you can induce flowering.
