I had done some research on them and to my understanding, they do not have a 12/12 setting, but I'm sure there's a way around that other than manually turning the light on and off. Also, with your nutes, were they just the ones from the kit, or were they something you bought elsewhere. Ive seen some stuff thats been grown in them before, it wasnt the best I've seen, but thats not saying a whole lot, I've seen some bomb ass shit, but this stuff was really a whole nother level from what I had heard about the results you get from a setup like this, I was pretty impressed. It would just be nice to have a way to grow my own shit here in a system that dosent need to be constantly tampered with due to my long school hours and even longer work hours. Id like something I can just set up and let go, and in the same respect, be compact and efficient enough to the point of where I actually get high rather than have nothing really happen to me from the brick I've found around the area I'm in at the moment. This just seemed like the perfect solution to my problem!
Another thought is, what about smell.. Im not thinking that having 2 or 3 small plants going is gonna end up in an overpowering smell over pot ruminating through my house.. but I do like to have people over here and there, and not that Im trying to hide the smell per say, but just taking precautionary measures so that lets say, if my family members come over, not that I care if they smell the pot, but mainly just outta respect Id like to have a house that people can enjoy sitting in and not be bothered by the smell of pot if they dont smoke or have some sort of issue with it.
