12/12 from seed help

12/12 grows should be a targeted grow based around a known longer flowering clone proven to produce in that type of situation.

I have rethought several things in all this.

LST kicks so much ass, I can't imagine giving it up and 12/12 from seed still gives me time to grow some decent veg.

I have a 5' tent and am considering breaking it down and packing it away for a cabinet that is only 2.5' tall. LST makes that possible.

I have been growing these plants almost 45 days and they are only 5" tall but each plant has 8-15 buds sites. I couldn't grow that many bud sites in this length of time just topping.

I thought the downside would be that I was sending the plant into flower, then had to revert it to reveg. Lst allowed me to grow bud sites I could have cloned long before they went into flower.

And this is why i agree and support lst in the case of cfl growing. I was and am still willing to give it up if i can be given a good enough reason to but I just can't deny the success I had with it. I won't claim it gives more yield however I do think it helps make the most of the CFLs light

Well it depends on if you want single cola or bush type. Personally on 12/12 from seed i've always let them do their own thing. A lot of times you will get pretty much single cola plants with few little pop corn side branches.

Something new that I have discovered (and do this at your own risk) is a method I have not gotten around to naming yet. You have to take a very very fine razor blade, like one taken out of a disposable razor, and look closely at the very tipity top of the plant.

May want to use a magnifying glass as well if you don't have good close up vision lol. In the top of the plant open up the newest small set of fan leaves and you will see a small budlet there.

This is where you need to be VERY careful and make SURE you use your blade just right. Slice directly down the center of that new budlet and slice only one side off.

Once recovered you will have EVERY piece of new growth forced to a huge single cola. No side buds or nothing, just a big ole central bud.

I am currently running an experiment using this method outdoors on some two week old seed plants put out on August 3rd. Once they take off and do what i've explained they shall do, I will take and post pictures.

I can't take full credit for this method but it honestly is a tight kept secret of an old hippie friend of mine. You can, if done right, veg a plant this way as long as you want and even get a half pound if not more single cola bud.

I know this sounds unbelievable but just give me time and I will show proof of the technique.

Good luck!

I'm converted for damn sure. Is there a downside to LST?
