First Indoor Grow.

I am starting a 400w MH/HPS soil grow with sannies seeds "Killing Fields" strain.

I want to know what style of grow i should use to maximize my yields and push out bud a little quicker.

I eventually plan on doing SOG but not sure how exactly to go about it...should i try to start my first round from 12-12 to get it going fast or veg them all and pick the best mother and clone her right away and get it going that way? any ideas?

Any help is greatly appreciated. thanks.

if you want some fast bud then 12/12 from seed is the way forward, but if you willing to wait then veg them for how ever long you can hold out then switch them to 12/12. my 1st ever run at growing weed was 12/12 from seed then i used everything i learnt fromt hat to do a bigger more succesful grow

Thanks for the reply! About how long would i expect to wait for the 12-12 from seed for first harvest? and what can i expect yield wise in comparison to vegging?
You see, i have grown before, so i know a little bit but this will be my first real set-up and go at it for a nice yield. One thing is, once i get this first grow done. The owner of the house may be more open to a larger operation like a 2 week/monthly harvest SOG or something...that's my end goal. Whats the quickest way to get there while still acheiving a decent yield for the first grow to make it worth while...

One more thing...would the 12-12 be a good idea if i plan on taking clones eventually? Probably not eh?
