Can I flower 3 a week old plant already?? And should I feed it b4 I turn the lights out for 24 hours to start the 12/12 cycle?
Yeah, you can go to 12/12 at 3 weeks but will be sacrificing most of your potential yield. With an also shortened
flower period your plants will not have enough time to get very big. If you flower now your plants will maybe
double in size. Take a step back and envision a plant twice as tall. Looks pretty skimpy, eh?
Forget that 24 hours of dark stuff. It would only confuse them even more. Go str8 to 12/12 and call it good enough.

Yes it will reduce yield, and what else? Potency. At 3 weeks the plant hasn't had time to build up CBD. CBD is secreted into the capitated stalked trichrome, in the trichrome, CBD is synthesized to THC. What do you have with a 3 week plant? Crappy little plant with hardly any buds on it, that you gotta smoke a couple joints to catch a buzz.
You can flower a clone at any time. Why? it retains the maturity of the mother. With seed plants you need to wait till the plant shows sex. Why? Because by that time it has the high levels of CBD to be a potent plant. 8-10 week veg time. Why? Because by this time the plant has shown maturity. The plant has the height to yield sum buds, that are potent. Your just wasting your time with a 3 week veg time with a seed plant. There are no short cuts to growing. You get what you put into it.

Most plants will continue to veg even in 12/12 if it has not reached maturity. If your ready flip em over.

well one thing is for sure.. the longer you veg under 18/6 or 24/0 the more bud your gonna get.. 12/12 sucks IMHO and I would never use it.. But that doesnt mean its not gonna work good for other people with different setups.. and I give my plants 24 hours of darkness before switching to 12/12.. They are in 24/0 on veg so the 24 darkness prob helps a little bit.. I know its not gonna hurt them so no biggie.
