you culd maybe try with cfls?

50 watts per square foot is minimal but 70or more is best.

I just reread your question. You want to run your lights 12 hours on and 12 hours off.

Are you asking the least amount of wattage or the least amount of time?

Wattage...couldn't tell you without you telling me more like size of grow area how much ventilation you have etc. etc.

Time...12 on/12 off to flower them.Set your light(s) on a timer so that your light(s) turn on and off at the same time everyday.

Time...For vegging use a light schedule of either 24 on/0 off or 18 on/6 off.

thanks guy i was talking time not watts thanks

I would say 45-55 days would be the minimum you could get away with. Anything less would yeild you half ass potent nugs, due to underdevelopment. Good luck!!!

thanks for the advise dude i might do that becoz my light eats 20p per 5 minutes i know it doesnt sound much but its killing my bill looolool so i might make it mature a lil bit .ive got one beautiful lowryder just developing nugs its been 2 weeks since it started when do u think it will finish its lowryder 2 ill try get some pics on monday
