Hey Idaho
Welcome to 420, i cant see any harmful results from keeping your mother in veg state under the 12/5.5/1/5.5 (Gas Lantern Routine), i would say it's exactly the same as keeping your mother in veg under the 18/6 that most growers follow. Infact i would say there would be less stress on the mother in GLR, bearing all that light in 18/6 is not natural and cant think of many places around the world that cannabis thrives under that many hours of light, except artifical enviroment ofcourse.
+ Reps are simply a method of giving your respect to others on the comunity for there hard work and dedication, how you dish them out is entirely up to you, personly i dont have a system on how i rep if i remember id rep everone daily.
