go 18/6 for a month then switch to 12/12 is what i do. You can do what you want though if u go 12 12 from the start the plant wont grow as big so u will lose out on yield. Tell us what you want them we can help you. If you dont care about yield and want some bud as quick as possible go 12 12 from the start. If you want bigger yield dont care about how long it takes till its ready then veg for a month or more on 18 6. Then switch to 12 12 I wouldnt advise vegging 24 0 it works but the dark period helps root development i think could be wrong.

You can top the plant to make it have two main colas this can help with yield and also keep the plant a bit shorter.I want to have the plants more short than tall, but a decent yield would be nice.... I want atleast a little yield....but i dont want a plant that is 5' ++
Is that pic just before u harvested it nice fat colas on there.this is my ak 48 vegged for 5 weeks and topped, this shit is unreal rock hard buds and yeah it does finish in about 7 weeks
got 4 oz off the biggest and 3.5 off the smallest
happy growing!
Shit that's bad luck i bought papaya seeds from nirvana all turned out male. I'm not a big nirvana fan lol wasted my money.he got great results. i got ak 48 from nirvana and 6 weeks into flowering i only got independent pistols. like the thing didnt really flower. i grew 10 seeds got 6 males and 3 hermaphrodites and the final one turned out to be a dud.
