purple maroc....12/12 indoor......what say you? - Female Seeds - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

thanks for coming in, if you're reading this then you know what PM can do. i've ran it outdoor in multiple situations over 3 seasons and always had great results in the quality side of things, 3 different phenos i could tell.

the title says it.....im looking at running a handful 12/12 from seed; cfl, my own soil mix and real dirt-farmer-hippie on the nutrients, pots will be around a quart per. it'll be in a roomy grow tent.

the rub, however, comes in with what Female Seeds calls "semi-autoflowering" genes.....ive ran 1212 many times and you usually get flowering after 5-6 weeks, the seedling still needs it's veg.....will this little girl trip out at 3-4 weeks? do backflips? wtf? or will it do what the regulars do with 1212 from seed?

thanks for being here.

oh, one more thing....anybody got cloning experience with purple maroc?

Hey Ion,

Sorry for the lack reply but here we are now

To be honest we have no experience of Purple Maroc ran with 12/12 from seed but the plant can handle it with no problem. It should react as normal strain do.
An alternative solution is to give the plant 3-4 weeks of 18/6, THEN switch to 12/12, you may get better result and surely it won't freak out.

And to answer your question...all our semi-auto strains were developed before the automatic era. We started breeding automatic lines with our early-flowering lines in the beginning of the 90's.
We were after plants that not started flowering in spring, but started flowering very early in Summer. Plants first mature, then go into flower. So we went after the late maturing ones.. We sold the very early maturing ones as " early Misty " seeds, nowadays called "automatics". In those days we were not interested in them, because of the bad smoking qualities, like the first "low riders", that came to the market at the end of the 90's...
So our semi-automatic plants are late maturing (around 10 weeks), so they cannot flower in the spring, when they mature. The autoflowering gene kicks in, the plants start flowering from inside out, a few weeks later the plant starts to react on the shorter day length, and because the autoflowering gene induced the flowering, it starts to flower faster and heavier, with an early finish.

Hope I have been of some help,

All the best,
Mr B.
