Depending on your room and amount of lighting and the strain you could leave them on for the first two weeks from transplanting. On 18 off 6 Then I would leave them on for three weeks 24Hrs. If you can put an auto drip system would cost around 150 then you could push them then finish up with a 12/12 cycle for 4 weeks

im using a 400 watt hps. i believe it took her like 3 weeks to show sex and i believe she is now 5 weeks. so im counting 2 weeks flower almost basically. i have 5 other females in room also 
but i used a veg room for everything else...she was just my guinea pig for 12/12 str8 from seed to see what the time/weight difference is between vegging to a foot like i have done with the others of same bag seed. lol im stoned hope that makes some sense to you guys.
ps. will update with more pics as she goes along

Which methid are you going to use. Are you going to clone, do 12/12 straight from seed.....both, neither. Seriously, though, which are you going to do?
................Biggs
Thought I would add my 2cents. After sprouting and reaching about 4/5 nodes I threw a whole tray (around 18 plants) into 12/12 about a week ago. They seem to be just fine with the whole thing. I expect them to be alot smaller than my current 2-3' monsters in flower but I can handle a lot of smaller plants so much easier. Im looking at setting up something similar to Woo at this point. Keep going! Good Budz are around the corner

Excellent my friend, I can't wait to see some pice of what you've got goin' on. I am in the process of re-arranging my grow room to make space for the newest ladies....I currently have 3 plants that are 18/6 for 3 weeks, then 12/12 for the rest, several clones that are 12/12 from the begining, and 2 plants that are 12/12 from seeed. All are healthy and in their third week of flowering......pretty little pre-flowersThought I would add my 2cents.

. This new batch is a 12/12 from seed experinent, in which my goal is to get them to be about a foot...foot and a half tall....and they are never going to leave the pot that they are individually born in
.I'll have pics tomorrow or the next day.
Peace, Love and tie Dye to All,

Wow, my friend....your Ladies and Little Ones are very nice
. Looks like you are doing an awesome job
. Pardon my ignorance
, but what is the foil or mylar like looking substance that surrounds your room. I know that it is for light. I have an actual room (door and all....LOL
) that is about 4ft by 8 ft, and for light reflection, I have it painted, ceiling, back of door and all, ultra bright gloss white
. What you have there looks intriguing. Keep up the fantastic work and please get back to my about my question there, I would really appreciate it.
Peace, Love, and Tie Dye..

The stuff on the walls is mylar. The stuff I have is really thick as it came from my theatre. I think the black and white poly sold at hydro stores is better and will be switching over this summer. Im already using a combination of the two and I think the poly keeps things a little cooler. BTW, foil is very bad. If you have a room painted white I think your fineWow, my friend....your Ladies and Little Ones are very nice

I wish I had a big room, but this is in an apt and is very stealth setup designed to keep me smoking free...kinda....LOLYou could divide your room up using the black/white poly sheeting and have a veg area and a flower area. or a veg area and several flower areas. Right now my closet is 2.5'deep x 5.5'wide x 5.5'tall and I am using a 400w hps for flower and 6 t-12 4' flourescents for veg veg space is same but only about 3' tall. Hope that helps

That is a great idea, but my room is an irregular shape...the dimensions that I gave were "round numbers". With the shape of the room, and the height and shape of the ceiling... I can only have one light cycle. If I do a veg cycle at all...it is only a few plants, in the corner of the living room.....it's kind of difficult being in wheelchair, doing a veg cycle in a different place than in my room. I try to stay with 12/12 all the way. I am not to the point of free smoke yet, but were getting there...I am a MMP patient, and the state that I live in allows you a lot of plants...and a lot of dry. They even just ammended our law just theis past February allowing us Double the abount of BOTH dried weed and plants to cultivate.The stuff on the walls is mylar.

Hi, I hate to sound like a idiot and I have read all 10 pages of this thread. Took a while. I can't remember, Mr. B are all those pictures of plants, are they all on 12/12. And do you do a full 2 months of flower? Iam very intrigued with this idea. I also am a mmp and have 7 babies 2 weeks old. Iam now going down from 24/0 to 18/6 by the end of this week. I read from a couple people on this thread that they started flowering after 2 weeks. Have you tried varying the time of veg. and found a formula as to yield? Just wondering if I should try it or not.
WW the more you veg the more you'll end up yeilding, doing early 12/12 does cut down on total yield however the benefits are that you see sex very early, you have a short growing period, you can keep them small for small grow spaces
the 'formula' that ive seen most effective for small plants (foot to 2 feet) is vegging till the leaves are almost as wide as the pot and they are a few inches (4 to 6)... then you hit 12/12 for 2 to 2.5 months
for a foot plant the average yeild is anywhere from 10 to 35 grams, and for a 2 foot plant its 15 to 40 id say
im no expert just basing it off what ive seen before
ill be doing it in may so look out if you want me to try anything
