After germing we do either 24 light then 18/6 until its ready for flower then 12/12 or we just start out with 18/6 then go to 12/12!bongsmilie

Definately start off with 18/6 if you start straight into 12/12 the plant isnt big enough to produce generous sized buds. and more of them. there is the exception of a minature grow though if your really restricted to space go 12/12 as soon as you can.

I likes to go 24/0 for 3-4 weeks then another 3-4 weeks 18/6 then 12/12 till DING.
Here are some 24/0 that are about 3 weeks old.
Ill give 2 pics, one was last weekend and the other today (7 days difference)

I haven't done much from seed since I do mostly cloning. But with clones I go 18/6 until the flower room is ready. 10-12 inches and then 12/12.

typically i start off with 2weeks of 24 hours of constant light, from germination on. personally i think this keeps the soil warm and keeps moisture buildup from happenening and mold setting in early when the seedling is most vulnerable

after that its 18/6 untill im done vegging. you can veg a plant on this cycle for 12months if you want, as long as its not an auto-flowering strain

once ive vegged it out i switch to 12/12 untill trichromes turn milky

once ive scoped the trichromes i kick it back to 8/16

and when 80% of the trichromes have turned amber i give it 48 hours of uninterrupted darkness and then kill the bitch.
ive gotten some killer beer can sized buds from bagseed using this lighting schedule... matter of fact my profile pic is one of em ;)

I germ my seeds in paper towels usually; sometimes ill use tiny seed planters if necessary but pretty much take seedling straight to veg. process using 18/6 and switch to 12/12 at a reasonable height and time, varying on strain.
