Not all strains will grow to finish if you start them out 12/12 as seedlings. There are axions that must be produce before most of the strains can be switched to flower cycle. Or else you risk hermies or worse like a mixed cycle grow and end up with just about nothing in the end.

Hagbard and others suggestion of lowrider being an auto flower strain is a good idea for you. Not the best quality smoke imo but it stays small and flowers early for the most part. Small yielder too compaired to other strains.

You can spend money on comerical products that will keep the plant small and compact so you can grow any strain. Bush master makse one as well as Dutch master.

I just wanted to set the record straight and not give you the impression you can start any seed on 12/12 and grow it to term....you can't or should not.
