@scrogathon Looking at your pictures you have plants of all sizes growing , few variables to consider before the flip to 12/12 will the small plants remain in there when you do? Will they have enough light to be viable if you do leave them in Are you planning on tucking the branches under your net once the stretch begins? Those bigger plants could double or even triple in size by the time the stretch is over so those are the issues for you to consider before the flip in my opinion

Hello my friend I will give you the most complete answer possible 😊 WHAT IS 12-12? 12-12 simply refers to the hours of light and darkness that the cannabis plant is exposed to - 12 of each. Normally, a cannabis plant is exposed to a light cycle 18-6. This indicates to cannabis that conditions are good for its growth and it focuses on the development of its size and foliage. When you change the light cycle to 12-12 (either naturally or by human intervention), this indicates to cannabis that the season is changing and it is time to bloom. By forcing a light period of 12-12 from the start, the cannabis plant goes directly into bloom, hoping to reproduce. You make the plant think that the growing season is coming to an end and that it must produce flowers as quickly as possible.👍 METHOD Growing in 12-12 is as easy as changing the timer on your light cycles to give your plants equal amounts of day and night as soon as they germinate. The plants will look different from a cannabis plant that has been through a period of vegetative growth. The photosensitive hormones in cannabis make the highest point of the stem the most full of heads. This method guarantees the development of a single stem of heads on each small plant. To put it simply, you will grow a central stem with a few short side branches bearing heads - the plant itself will be a head in itself. Do not forget to support your plants.😉 Things to watch for during a normal culture do not change and are still important. PH and water quality, fertilizer mix, pest control, growing medium conditions, EC and ppm still play their major role in the excellence and weight of your finished product .👍 Therefore you can pass in 12/12 when you think judge or likes to do it depends on you of the technique and the type of culture you want Good luck for your grow 🌱 May the force be with you 💪
