i have a small space and only a 150 watt grow light so my idea was to have 2 days of 24/0 and decending an hour every two days untill i get to 12/12 cycle..i am going to use lst on the plants while in veg.do you think this will work,please post any comments.

well if by "work" do you mean, will plants grow.
yes it will work

if you mean can i get any decent amount of weed
no it wont

if im reading you right your talking starting from sprouts and going straight to flower after 14 days?

i mean if you only have 1 foot of vert grow space i reackon it would work for that.
but id suggest laying it on it side and keeping it tied down

if its strictly a time issue, yes it would take less time but your gonna take a serious output hit.
if it is a time issue, learn to clone, a clone once rooted could match that schedual easily.
AND provide a decent return

if its not a time issue, dont go by X number of days, no 2 plants are the same, even seeds from the same bud have subtle genetic derivations.
oddly enough height is a better gauge of how your doin. (unless you have autoflower, or a strain with spacific flowering time req)
most plants roughly double in height during flowering (sativas have a longer flowering time and can go triple)
figure your overal max grow height (how much distance is their between the top of the soil and the point when the light burns your hand)
devide that in half or thirds, when your plants are that high, switch to flower.

or is this just an oddly phrased question about light cycle?

i mean it like 2 days of 24/0,2 days of 23/0,2 days of 22/0 and so on untill i get to 12/12..it would be about 24 days i think. and then just have the flowering stage normal.becuase i want to grow it small but still have time for it to mature.
