how bad will it stress my plant that has been in 12-12 for a little less than 3 weeks if i put it back under 24-0? it had some major slow growth problems due to hard water and i transplanted it and now its taking to the new soil and i want to veg it for some more time

It can be done but i would not advise changeing the plant back like that,it is sudden changes like the one you want to do that cause a plant to go hermi.i'm about 70% sure that the plants should be ok why did you not just veg for longer from the start.you are going to after wait for the plants matabalizum to change back this will take at least 14 days.but it only take 1 plant to take a disslikeing to what you are doing and you may have very seedy bud.let the plants grow out on 12/12off and then switch back to 18/6 with new clones that you have taken of the mother plant.your growing a great plant why fuck with the life cycle of the plant.

well i put them into 12-12 to attempt to stimulate growth because at that point they were 5 weeks old and about two inches tall, a few of them have either died or been killed off. i transplanted the two remaining plants in 12-12 and they are doing fine now but they are still growing what i would consider to be very slow, my flowering room gets down to about 50-55 degrees at night with the way the weather has been here which is why i was considering switching back

I've never heard of rooting clones in 12-12. Sounds dangerous!

they arent clones, i am doing this grow from seed, bagseed to be exact. the problem was that these genetics apparently really love nitrogen because they werent getting enough and became rootbound
