I'm still fairly new at this so take it for what it is, and that is my opinion. I think we look at it a little wrong. I think that we feel when we put a plant into 12/12 that we are forcing it and manipulating it into flower. I thing it's the other way around. I think that when we put a plant into 18/6 we are forcing it to stay in veg and keeping it from flower. While we can force a plant to continue vegging indoors, we can not force it to flower sooner than what it's genetics tell it too. We all get pubies at different times. I think if you force veg plants then counting from 12/12 is sensible and fairly accurate, but if you do 12/12 from seed, then the clock starts when the first pistil shows.just wondering.
if its 2 and a half weeks veg growth with 12/12
then could you cut that down to say a week and a half or so with 18/6 ? or is the veg growth rate the same regardless of light schedule?
just curious.
So I'll ask the vets, does that make sense to you?
