Start about 10 of your seeds in 4" pots with a 18 hr+ day as close as you can get them to the light.
Vegetative growth until 5 or more growth nodes 20-30 days.
Then shut lights off for a day.
The next day start 12 on 12 off with the lights.
They should show gender in a week.
Remove the males and transplant the females into 1-2 gallon low pots, you need the height for flower growth.
Return to 12 on 12 off light until harvest, determined by bud quality, amber trichromes.

i would take one known female,let it veg for about a month, and then start taking clones from the bottom. Put the clones in jiffy cubes and in a humidity dome for a week. After roots form, transplant into a cup or bottle any were from 12 to 30 ounces. This way, the plant will stay short, but with proper feeding, you can get up to a half o per clone.

I have heard of people having success with that, though it was with the mention of the varieties ablity. Perhaps it is possible with any variety.

12-12 rite from seed is a bad idea. your plants will stretch a tremendous ammount and never ammount to anything, you need to give seedlings 24/7 light and keep the light close as possible

hope this helps
