only 8 weeks grow time

if i only have 8 weeks of grow time would it be the better idea to go straight into flowering from seed?

noo!! not that ive heard. the sooner you flower before maturity the more the yeild will be reduced..
best to wait till they have matured 1st b4 flowering

you can go 12/12 from seed. Some growers have limited space and find it works for them to keep their plants smaller.

8 weeks though? you would be lucky to get an 8th with that short of time, unless you are doin like 20 plants, kinda sounds like a wast of time

8 weeks is kinda tight... i pulled off a single plant in 73-75 days and i thought that was pretty short, i even harvested a week early , it wasn't an autoflower strain, just bagseed... i pulled off a 26-27 day veg, topping it once, when it healed put it in 12/12...

given it was my first grow im kinda proud i got almost 20 grams....

just top it and veg it for 25 days or something, then 12/12.... good luck
