Hi, i have been reading that you can put seedlings on 12/12 as soon as they sprout i understand that you dont get to harvest as much but if working in a restricted area as i am you can have more plants per square foot . If anyone has any info or has tryed this i would be really grateful for your help. Thanks Angie..

I'd rather have fewer big plants, if your in a hurry just get yourself some autoflower seeds. forcing it to mature like that will make them much smaller, but they will still take about the same time as ones you vegged till it matured and had shown preflowers. it will take at around 3-5 weeks of veg growth on 12/12 to get it big enough to mature and start flowering, it takes around 3-5 for my vegging plants to show sex and be ready for flowering, they dont stall out and quickly begin heavy flowering when switched to 12/12 since they are already mature. less bigger plants is the way to go here imo

low stress training, its where you tie the main growth points down so it is not the highest part on the plant so hormones are sent to all the growth points telling them to all be main growth points, all main growth points= all main top cola=no shitty lower buds=optimal lighting for all the buds since they all get direct light, so you get a sea of top colas if you just tie the plant down like that and then when you switch to flowering let them take off and grow upwards again.
