seed to flower?

I seen people talking about growing from seed to 12/12 flowering from the start. I was curious how good does this work? What kind of strain works best for that type of grow? What kind of lighting would be good?

i don't quite do 12/12, but close, i normally veg for 3 weeks or so
most strains won't start flowering immediately, it takes some minimum time before a plant will stop vegging and begin flowering, so 3 weeks of veg doesn't go too much beyond the minimum
all hybrids i've run have responded well, cfl's work well for these smaller plants, but no restrictions on the lights you might want to use

Smokey you can't rush a good plant. Some auto strains will work but regardless you need that veg time to establish a good root system. With doing a 12/12 your roots wont get big & go deep. Small roots = a really small plant. If your looking for your plant to be about 8-12 high (not a plentiful harvest unless you have a 1000 plants) then go for 12/12 from start.personally I like 2 1/2- 3 1/2 ft tall, 3 to 4 week veg time. using an 1000w eyesaki super blue mh.H

Thank you for the reply. I am not going to try 12/12 from start. I was just curious if it does work or not.
