12/12 From Seedling to Harvest

I only have one grow room and was thinking I would start a new cycle every 2 months. Has anyone ever started 12/12 from the start? I've got both 250watt MH and 400watt HPS and thought I would just have the vegging under the MH and the flowering under the HPS. This way I won't have to worry about building a light leak free chamber and I would also save a little electricity. I would imagine it will make the yield less but by how much?

Any thoughts?

Still wondering... I know clones and seedlings do better under 24/0 but what about vegging under 12/12 and letting the plant decide when to flower.

maybe you haven't gotten a response because your question is a little confusing. From my understanding: you want to start a new cycle by leaving them under the 12 12 light. First off, if they are clones they will start to flower. If they are seedlings they will veg slowly for a lil and then flower. Just be patient and try to start with a shit load of plants to begin with.

i'd say go for it anyway. the only problem you will encounter is the stem won't be strong enough to hold the buds up. But you can always fix that by putting something up to support it.

Right on man. I didn't know that about the clones going right into flowering. Sorry my question is confusing. I guess what I'm wondering is how long will a plant veg for, from seedling, under 12/12? 4 weeks? I read that plants will flower under 18/6 if given enough time which led me to believe that the plants have some say in it and it's not just the light cycle. My main concern is how much weed I'll have and for how long. I've got 5 bagseed plants and 2 Widow Skunk plants, all unknown sex. I'll harvest in 3-4 months. I figure I will get maybe a couple ounces since I'm new and will, and already have, screw up along the way. So I thought I would take clones a few weeks before flowering and allow them to veg while I flower the mature plants. This way I won't have to wait another 4 months for a harvest and i will always have a crop flowering(which looks like more fun!) This is why I went with both the 250 MH and the 400 HPS. But from the sounds of it I will have to have separate chambers for both veg and flower to do this. I was just looking for a shortcut.
