12/12 from start?

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...

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.

Dude ,you need to read.
These are day one of class questions.
That I knew the answer to before I even popped a seed.
I suggest you read up.
Or your plants will die.

Has anyone tryed flowering from the time the seedlings pop up? i am interested in trying this for my grow because i need seeds and am not going for bud at all this time. thanks

The only time this is OK.
Is if your after seeds only.
I suggest using a sativa .
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.
