Im planning on a grow but only have enough room for 12 small plants so if I started plants on a 12/12 light cycle from the start will they autoflower or just die or something i dont know im new to growing

p.s I need the plants as small as possible but cant be bothered with autoflowering strains or if I clone a mature plant in veg will they be able to be put into flowering as soon as they have rooted, any suggestions would be great thanks.

get some nice short indica dom strains and they will respond well to 12/12fs, i have been doing them in 4 ft height, they do stretch out quite quick but stop short and with a little training you can keep them really short,I also use 3L pots to keep them small

Veg, LST, and Super crop are all you need if you want small plants without going auto.

You can start seeds from 12/12 and end with much smaller plants...you can also put clones into 12/12 right after rooting to get small plants as well...

Most strains I have tried 12/12 from early clone I get right around an oz...sometimes over, sometimes right under...

oh and i was thinking about getting some LED becuase heat build up is also a problem but exhaust fans are not an option ive been told by the owner of the house that is growing for me,
long story short my one of my friends relatives is letting me grow in thier flat, they have a spair cuboard and said if i buy the seeds and lights it is okay to grow upto 12 autos cant remember how many normal plants they said i could grow but it was less than 10 and i was thinking if i grew 12 very small plants but started them from seed on 12/12 they would autoflower, sorry about the rant but i couldnt simplify that any more. thanks again

also another question, would deep water culture be a good idea and also what lights should i use my criteria for lights are... cheap-ish, effective for both veg and flowering, low temp and also compact if possible. thanks and sorry for asking loads of questions
