dnt do 12/12 from seeds, it'll stress...and its bagseed u know...u dnt want more of ur plants to bcm a hermie or worse, male....
LST is the key dude.... if time isnt a factor, i'd say throw the plant to vegging like 24 hrs light, that'll give u short, bushy plants....after the plants are like 5 " tall, train it.... i topped my plants tooo...bt imo, its not a good idea... stressing the plants for no reason at alll... im happy with LST.. try it man, and have a huge ass weed bush
