Are there any know benefits from using a 12/12 light cycle from start to finish as apposed to using a 18/6-20/4 light cycle for vegging then switching to 12/12 for flowering:?:

12-12 from seed....less electric..less heat in summer......plants will flower as soon as possible..........depends what lights you have and how much bud you want.........if you go 12-12 from seed with a 400 hps you can pull 1 1/2........2 oz dry per plant and with a 600 2-4 oz dry per plant .

Del what size pots are you using and are all of the pics grown in coco? Also do you find that the plants are very root bound at chopping time, or do you promote single cola growth by cleaning up the lower branching..

the biggest pot i use is 10 litres...........the single colas seem to go hand in hand with 12-12 from seed ......i dont cut anything off................all grown in coco........coco is my god.....plenty of roots at the end but not what id call root bound......ive even grown a big plant in a 1 1/2 litre pot with no problem...just have to feed more often...

Interesting to know thanks, yes I have noticed smaller pots means more feeding, I did 20x greenomatics in 1ltr air pots, fed every watering and they still yellowed from lack of N.

Maybe with some automated watering you could bust out the smaller pots and squeeze a few more in there,just a thought.
