    Default Should I go 12/12 with this small grow?

    Hi all,

    Just wondering what method to grow a small plant in a small grow space 52cm tall x 37cm wide x 47cm deep

    Was going to do a SCROG. But should I start 12/12 from seed?

    Found this in another section that might help you out a little buddy,


    The 'Vegetative Cycle' of your garden starts with the sprout of the seedlings and can be continued indefinitely. In the veg cycle your garden will require a minimum of 16-18 hours of light and 6-8 hours of darkness daily. Since a given amount of light can only do so much, equal production can be realized in a smaller space with less plants, where the light is concentrated and the plants can grow more efficiently. Using more light helps additional co2 uptake.

    Since a plant can be kept in the 'Veg cycle' indefinately, many growers cultivate 'Mother' plants. This plant is used for clone starts and never produces buds, only new growth.


    The 'Flower Cycle' or 'Bud cycle' is typically equal amounts of light and dark, 12 hours on, 12 hours off or 12/12. This produces a change in the plants metabolism simulating Fall, shorter days....less light.

    This is the cycle that the plants will show their sex. Usually, you'll be able to determine the sex within the first 2 weeks of 12/12. By the 3rd week most plants have developed healthy bud sites or pollen sacks.
    The plants will continue on the 12/12 cycle until harvest.

    My first grow that i started yestrday i have started with 16 on 8 off.

    Thanks Scot,

    I know about the light cycles.

    Does anyone know if a plant under 12/12 from seed would stretch and be bushy enough for a stealth SCROG?

    Maybe thats a better question.

    its no use starting seeds on 12/12 for a SCROG grow,
    with this method you must vegetate the plant for a duration of time so you can establish the plant into the grow screen
