Im doing 12 plants 12/12FS as well. Mostly doing it to test these new led panels i bought and use up some of my older seed stock. I am running White Rhino, master kush, white widow, blue mystic and raspberry cough all of which are Nirvana fems. They are in 2 gal. containers i omly transplanted once from the rooting plug to the 2 gal. As far as the autos i have yet to grow one. But from what i have read it is not ideal to give an auto 12 hours of light since it can take more so you miss out on some yield. Keep us posted.

Bad idea, I think. Autos are programmed genetically to flower all through their life cycle. The flower as they mature so we do everything we can to encourage that growth. Tons of research and years of experience have proven that autos especially grow fastest at either a 20/4 or 24/0 light schedule. Anything else is depriving your plants of their maximum growing potential, imo. BigSteve.

I grew an auto under 12/12 for the last few weeks of its life and it really took off but that could be because it was under a 250w cfl before whereas it was under a 600w hps on 12/12.
I have a couple of cheese that r 12/12 fs-the only thing i would say is that if u have room to veg then its pointless as even growing 12/12fs the plant still takes around 4 weeks to mature and start flowering,so in those 4 weeks u could have vegged under 24/0 so theoretically could have a plant twice as big in the same time frame
