well, yes and no. You can switch your lights to 12/12 whenever you want, you can even go 12/12 from the start. So yes on that part. However your plants will still need to go through a veg phase before they are large and mature enough to start flowering. with 12/12 from seed about 3 or 4 weeks personally.

Yup under the 400, I start my veg under a 1000w about 18 to 20 inches away.

I have started seeds and cuttings under 400w and 1000w with no bad side effects, most people have the lights too close. Plants outside get full sun and do just fine. Nothing like looking to mother nature to check your logic.

im wondering if maybe cues was responding to the original question and saying you can get clones from mature plants vegged for a short time after rooting to flower almost right away(which is somewhat true) or that it was ok to start clones under a 400w but not seeds. could you clarify cues? ive also started under 400w and 600w hps, ive got a good cooltube and ventilation so i dont really change the distance much when doing seedlings as heat is no problem.

If they are autos, 12/12 should have no effect on flowering other than to reduce the final yield. Autos run on their own internal clock.
One of the advantages of autos is that you can keep pumping light into them at 18/6 even while flowering.
For a photoperiod, the longer you veg, the bigger the plant when it starts flowering and the bigger the yield. Some growers even start 12/12 from seed others veg for six weeks

Yes DD, I meant it's OK to flower from 1 week old clones (more than 4-6 week old parentage depending upon strain in my opinion). Apologies for not being more clear. Personally, I would be more careful about big rises in light from clones but that's just me. I am trying to cut-out the in-between stage from tiny root-riot cubes to hydro. i.e. not using the 3" blocks. I have no experience of autos. However, having grown from both seed and cuttings, it's interesting to watch the tiny clones and see that they are almost desperate to flower.
