Alright peeps, im sick of getting hounded on every post i make. So ima make this clear, can you guys HELP me. Not brag about how shit and f**k all i know. Im obviously here for help because i dont know. Or i wouldnt be asking questions. Now, heres my situation. I have a plant that is near 2 weeks old. about 12-13 days from time i put in soil. Its been on 18/6 since, and is now working on its second set of leaves(Bladed). Now what i want to know is, can i get a quicker harvest doing the 12/12 schedule? Iv been seeing people get about 10inch plants doing 12/12 from seed with a big nice long bud all the way up the stem. But iv been in 18/6 for a couple weeks almost and i want to goto 12/12 but everyones saying i wont get fu*k all bud? I dont understand. Iv been vegging for 2 weeks??? In common sence, i should get a decent amount (for its size) ? right? or no? Explain, please :) and the other question no one seems to want to answer is, if its still only small, and i put it in 12/12, should i keep the 6500k lights for the first week or two in 12/12 to help it grow more foliage during the start of 12/12? As im sure two sets of leaves aint enough. Or should i MIX a 6500 with a 2700 or 4000k light to intice flowering AND foliage growth for the first week or two? Or do you recommend i just stick to 18/6 for another few weeks to get her a bit bigger? And if i do that, would it be ok to top BEFORE i see inter-nodes? will it still mature? Do the branches just start to inter-node or what? Please, HELP, not rediculous i wont even get 2 joints bullcrap. Because im sure i will atleast get 2 joints worth of bud. surely. Im not after massive yeilds or lots of weed. i just want some dope for a special occasion coming up. and the useless help iv been getting is just wasting my time. i have only 10 weeks from now to have this fully budded and ready to harvest. And leaves me only 3 more weeks to dry and cure. and one last week to be smoked. Please help. :) il put a picture up in the morning as shes in the middle of her dark period. I will keep on 18/6 for another night or so just incase im advised to keep on 18/6 otherwise shes guna get fuc*ked up light times.
 
The longer you veg the more yield you will get,if it is from seed,let it veg for at least a month.yes you can use mh for the first couple of weeks in flower...then go hps..

I believe I answered you. Essentially you are limited by your total amount of light. If all you can bring is low light levels then go 12/12 now. Don't even worry about spectrum. That is a non-issue because with low light levels neither spectrum will penetrate through your plant.

As for 'enticing' flowering? I am not sure what you mean. If you have photoperiod plants when you go 12/12 IF THEY ARE MATURE (showing sex), they will flower. When you run 12/12 from seed or prior to sexual maturity the plant will not flower until it matures no matter WHAT spectrum you hang over it.

You can go ahead and flip em to 12/12 but they are not gonna finish in your scheduled time frame. You're gonna have prolly 3 more weeks before mature, then 7~8 weeks to finish and that depends on the strain. At best you will be cuttin it close and yeppers plant will be small with a small yield
