Fastest way to grow and try a strain.

I want to try a 1:1 thc/cbd plant. Photoperiod plant.
If I put it in a small container, gallon or less can I minimize my grow time?
Basically want to grow one cola, like I have seen in some micro grows.

Just run it 12/12 from seed. It'll flower as soon as it's mature

I didn't know it worked like that, I though 12/12 may try to trigger a seedling

It can't flower until it's mature. It takes a couple weeks min. (Some people run seedlings on a 12/12 cycle because a seedling doesnt need a high DLI.) Usually in a reg veg cycle, maturity is expressed by the plant by having alternating nodes instead of side by side expression and also by 'preflowers' ---- just a calyx with a white hair popping out.

If you want to grow small plants look up sog. (Sea of green)
Just remember smaller plants don't need as high of an ec as bigger plants. There's a balance, it's not really easier to grow smaller plants. I'd actually argue it's harder in most cases.
It all depends on your medium as well. Eg: You can grow big plants in coco with small pots watered multiple times per day vs soil which a small pot wouldnt really work.... So it's not really a simple answer. Would need to know more about your grow before answering more definitively.
This style of growing can also help prepare you to grow auto flowers with better results. (Keeping everything ideal from the beginning)

cannabis has a certain age when she is able to grow flower.that is usually after 23 days for most strains.
if you want the biggest plant in lowest amount of days try airoponics,but if you dont have shit tone of money maybe DWC or in the end coco and soil

best way would be to buy a clone or make your own.clones are allaways as old as their mother soo basicly you could put it in soil and flower same day
