i think the plant will veg for 1-2 weeks anyway even if you run 12/12 from seed just because the plant needs time to mature....i think =P

12/12 from seed is a waste. Just cause your on 12/12 light doesn't mean the plant is mature enough to flower. It can take 4-6 weeks from seed for a plant to become mature enough to flower. So your loosing growth by having it on a 12/12 light cycle from seed. You'll end up with a larger plant doing 18/6 or 24/0 for the first month then go 12/12. I have done 12/12 from seed. It took almost 6 weeks of 12/12 before it started to flowered. I'll never do it again, but the plant did have a decent harvest. I feel it would have been alot better if I did 18/6 from seed then switched to 12/12 after that first month.

So if I do 12/12 from seed am I going to be able to harvest in 2 months? That's about how long the flower stage takes.

no it will still take about 3 months depending on strain.it will take 4 weeks to show sex apprx. then 8 to flower apprx.you have to really ask yourself , why would i do 12/12 from seed . the only answers are ... its an experiment , i don't have a sepearte veg room , i am impatient ,and lastly size. for me it is a combo of the 4 . i just started a week ago 12/12. here ya go

if you want a quick harvest buy an autoflowering hybrid, they finish in about 8 weeks and u run 20/4 light the whole time
