12/12 From Seed: A Different Way To Grow

[roybart]

has there been a list of compatible and incompatible strains for this tech ?

That is a great question. I have 12 sour lemon 75 day auto's just started. I have run Gorilla Glue 4 12 x 12 start to finish and they worked out good . Also Grand Daddy purple worked good.

I've never tried this 12/12 from seed method before. But I want to test a few plants from a hybrid I made
while I'm flowing another strain. I'm not concerned about yields and just want to add growing technique to
my arsenal.

Whats the right size container yall use that you find best bang for the buck size wise?

Hey, it's so good，thank you

 

[KinKrit]

It's so good.I l like it.

if you grow from 12/12 by seed - use you flower lighting - many lights come with a veg/ flower light switch - (use the red - infar red and deep red lighting)

I had to try this 12/12 method and so far, I'm blown away by these plants. I had a little extra space under the flowering lights, so I planted some one gallon pots with pro-mix hp with some mixed seed. I'm using GH at 50% with every watering, but I skipped the Grow completely and running them only on flowering food.

I planted two different seed runs at 15 days apart. Here's a couple of side shots.

 

[Creeperpark]

I dropped the photoperiod from 12/12 after 30 days to 11/13 for 15 days and now 10 &1/2 daytime and 13 & 1/2 night till the finish.

Here's some green shots of this 12/12 grow @ about 60 + days.

I can see the yield is lacking, however the quality is surprisingly good, and worth the trouble. .

 

[Creeperpark]

These buds are getting more dense everyday. I'm feeding daily now at around 500 ppm, (1.0) EC and allowing a little discharge to waste.

 

[Creeperpark]

Its time to take the first planted and let the second planting ripen more. Even though the harvest is much smaller using this method, one could easily plant 5 one gallon pots every 15 days. I'm surprised how well these buds grew using 10 & half hours photoperiod in one gallon pots.

 

[Creeperpark]

Reducing the plants allows me to lower the wattage and heat, dropping (400 hps). If this was a continual grow, I would plant what I just harvested in sequence. Here is what I have left to work with on the rest of this 12/12 grow test.

 

[Creeperpark]

Now that I'm just using LED to finish the grow the temps have dropped 2 to 4 degrees. Doing the whole grow at night because of temps. Without the 400 HPS, I have less red bands, heat, and I'm using less water too. The trichomes are getting dense to protect the calyxes from LED burn.

 

[Creeperpark]

Ok, its time to chop chop and end this experiment because the plants can't support themselves anymore. This was very fun and I learned a lot using this 12/12 seed to flower method, plus, I got some stinky and very sticky buds for my jars.

 

[Creeperpark]

I removed the fan leaves to get a look and process the buds. This is a night time grow, and grew while I was asleep, most of the time. SUPER JUST FOR FUN GROW.

i don't see a prohlems flowering time from starting from seed it just take minium extra 20 week to free,

 

[Creeperpark]

In closing I would say the yield was very small compared to long-vegged grows. It was interesting learning, and feeding different feeds, for different genetics. The sweetest lesson from the 12/12 grow, is one can plant seeds outdoors, 3 months before the first frost dates, and get super nice buds. Today is Aug 4 perfect time for planting fall seeds in cups and put outdoors in 30 days. Where I am, "now" is the "open window" to get nice Fall buds in Oct. Here's the medicine I got off this 12/12 fun grow. Thanks for letting me share.

When growing in hydroponic constantly in water is there tricks to get better yeilds as I'm not getting consistently the same they are different strains but all high yielding
