And thats true.. i hear of a lot of people doing it, and it will keep them a lot shorter bc the shorter "days" dont allow for vigorous growth... it just depends on your setup. mine allows for me to start seeds, veg them out for mother plants, and then just take clones. its my preferred method so that i dont have to wait so long between harvests. if cost and wear and tear on equipmen are major issues, to keep from replacing your shit all the time,(it is for many) then go 12/12 from seed..You can grow 12/12 from seed, many growers do.
