12/12 From Seed: A Different Way To Grow

Smoke- jus some good ole bagseed, has a smell of vomit and fruit punch. thats the only way to describe it. everything i do is on 12/12 ive had good luck with cloning on 12/12 also. it breaks down like this. germ seeds, veg under 12/12, toss out males, take clones, then flower. unfortunently i dont keep track of days very well so i dont know how long she has been flowering. i grown in soil in 1 gal grow bags , sometimes 3 gal, with foxfarm nute, anything else jus ask

NICE and THANKS SmokeHouse!!! I don't know that I really wanna be smoking on a bud that tastes like I just drank some fruit punch and ralphed it all over my bud... J/K. So what kind of box are they/it growing in/ how many are in there?
 
the box measure 32"(t)x24"(w)x 15(D), i normally have anywhere between 4-6 girls in all different stages of flowering. flowering done under 150w hps, the mother/veg box is the same size. that box had 3x42 cfl, the light is aircooled and intake/outtake is done with pc fans and two old blowers that i found in the trash. my air flow is probably overkill if there is such thing. ill put pics of the box if you would like .

Pot size for 12/12 metode

Pot size for 12/12 metode

Hello all You 12/12 pionirs :rasta:

In my last grow i planted 1 SpeedQueen using this metode, beside other "normaly" grown plants, and I was very pleasently surprised. Now I am planing to grow a little bit more plants in SOG methode using 12/12 from seed. The pot I used for SQ was a pot of 9 liters (aprox 2 gallons). Well, I am space limited, so please if anyone can help me and adviced me what is the minimum and optimum pot volume for 12/12 from seed, and still have a good result.

Thanks in advance :jump:
 
janvit- u could get away with using 1 gal, get some 1 gal grow bags and pack those girls in. thats what i do, but im speaking from experience

:badday: ohhh maannn, wondering through this forum is making me wanna smoke sooo bad. I cant smoke until my dealer stops being dry or until my plant finishes.

I'm currently growing Top44 12/12 from seed. its 5 inches right now, and just started flowering. might be just 6 weeks until i get to smoke little Sasami (thats what i named her) supposed to be a fast flowering strain. I'll post some pics soon.

Anybody else growing top44 with this method?

Top44 likes to grow as a single cola with little side branching, it also likes to grow tall, so your little 5 incher could still hit 3 feet. Yield is very good though, moderately potent Skunky buds, takes a little longer than 44 days, more like 50.

Thats good to hear, i was worried about yield from such a small plant. 3 feet would be perfect for my grow area, as its only 4 or 5 feet in height.
 
Hey, i've been following and learning from this thread for a while now, and I need some advice as to what to do next. I am using a rubbermaid setup with 4 30w warm white bulbs, and four 1.08 gallon pots. Been running 12/12 from start. Some are more developed than others, with maybe 2-3 internodes. I am wondering why they are going so slow compared to other peoples, maybe my light height but i corrected it and they are about 1-3 inches away now, or the soil i dont really know. I am using just regular top soil from local supplier.

any help is appriciated

i'm trying to post pictures but it wont let me, i guess i must need more posts first.

How old are they? In the beginning of 12/12 they'll grow slowly until they reach their second week(or so...) of life, then they'll shoot like crazy. Inbetween 3-4 weeks is when you'll figure out the sex, some have been reported sexing by 16 days though...
 
true, they're between 15-18 days. I just hope im not wasting my time haha. hopefully i can post some pictures soon, because im going to need some help along the way

Temperature problems

Temperature problems

Hi,

I just put under my 650W HPS (1x400w + 1x250w) 33 little plants. There is 9 Kalichakra, 9 croses bettwen Skunk#1&some unknown indica type and 25 Hashberrys. They are 3-5 days old, and in 12/12 cycle.
Well, the problem is that "day" temperature is about 28-30 C (82.5-86 F),and "night" temperature is about 15 C (59 F). Well, I'm worried because I dont know hoew this will affect my little babies.

Anyone can help me with this issue?
Thanks in advance :joint:
