you keep 12/12 for budding make sure you have no light leaks also for veg growth you want to have 18 to 24 hrs of light the reason a plant buds at 12 and 12 is the plant produces a hormone during the dark period which only builds enough to flower with at least 10 hours of dark better results with 12 though hope this helps

HiYa 12 hours for flowering also change feeding mixture to a lower p. Use a tomato feed if you cant get to a headshophi how long do i keep my light on for when it buding is it 12/12 or do i reduce the light when buding ? and do i reduce the light when going to harvst the plant ?

boneman knows what is up nitrogen phosporus and potash <potasium> during bloom the plant absorbs different nutes you should keep your ph right at 6.2 for veg and this is mine but i raise the ph a little 6.7 and the plants absorb much more k <potash>and i get lots of extra tric development as far as light goes anything 18 hrs a day or moreis fine
