early start experiment

this season I going to try something a little risky,an antinational early start.I've gota 430 watt high presser sodium with a sun agro bulb(for veg and stem growth)and I'm going to start my seeds about 2weeks before normal in vary large 12"or14" pots so as not to chouse the plant to become root or pot bound.I'll most likely use a 24 hour light cycle for optimum growth.Now I read that the biggest problem with this idea is that larger and older plants do not transplant well,so I will concentrate my efforts on the two weeks before coldframs,gently adapting the plants to the elements that they'll be experiencing outside.Ill definitely set the plants outside in their pots for awhile prier to transplanting.I'm just want to pollinate my plants at 800 leaves like the heavy hitters.(Iwill have backup plants) any thoughts?
