What would a plant do???.

grow slow... very slow...

if your wanting it to flower right away, that doesn't work, cuz the plant needs to reach a certain maturation before it'll flower...
 
What would a plant do if from germination its gets only 12/12 ??

i asked this question yesterday...i havent quite found the answer im looking for...im wondering if the plant automatically goes into flowering or do you have to drop the lighting from 12/12 to something else to make it flower

grow damn slow and start to flower after 2-3weeks with a 1/4oz if you lucky, damn lucky. guess that it wouldn't make 8" with bud till harvest, rather 6". and it will only work if you work with a powerful light source, so a 400W HPS is about the starting point. i would only try such as stunt if i got a sea of seeds on my hand since it is wasted power and seeds really.:roll:
 
hold up, but my plants been growing better than average and is on 12/12 since seedling. In about 2 more weeks it'll be ready for flowering. would it start flowering if i keep it on 12/12 or do i have to change the lighting hours

once more, 18/6 (or the not to recommended 24/0) is normally used to veg with, 12/12 is used to flower with. if you bit experienced with growing indoors you can try to stretch lightning hours to 14/10 once flower is established. but basically if you want flower you switch to 12/12 and stick to it.
 
i should have look for a similar thread but this was more a question to see if anyone has done it befor.
i am growing two little ones at the mo to test what actually happens.
so far its week 3 and there are the second set of nodes ( leaves in opposite direction to the rest) only about 2 cm tall.
i am doing them outside and its comming into to winter here, so there only getting around the 12 13 hour light mark.
picture come once my camera is back.
 
so its week 3 of the the 12/12 germination experment and so far they are actully looking pretty good, we have just had a cold snap so i bet they will start to slow now, they are at about 5 cm at the moment and looking really healthy well see what happens next.
