I know we are all doing this for fun, but I'd really like to eventually optimize this....so in theory an occasional smoker can grow a single plant at a time, on their desk, over the course of 2 months or so. After this run, I'm going to try pruning a shot glass grow, find ways to maximize the yield while keeping it in the small cup, and on a 12/12 cycle from seed.

checc out this thread, scroll thru it, 12/12 from seed

its in a regular medium sized pot, but even going strait from 12/12 he got pretty good growth, topped her and LST'd her,

im going to be using two party cups, and have my shots glass's on the sides, got a nice lil grow cab and after going thru his thread again, I wanna give it a go, only thing i can really do as of now

I have never seen a MJ plants finish in 2 mnths from seed.. Not even autos.just because you do 12/12 from seed doesnt mean the plant will flower in 2 mnths.. I have seen plants take 4 months to finish even when grown under 12/12 from seed.

I wish I saw this sooner. But I started mine like 3 days ago anyway. They are staring at that the light right now.

Here's an update on mine. Little yellowing on my clone. Seems to always happen to this plant. Starts dropping fan leaves when in flowering.

Right. It can take a seedling 4-6 weeks just to become mature enough to start flowering. Just because they are under 12/12 doesn't mean a seedling will flower. Needs several weeks to become mature to do so.

Ah, I see what your saying. I my last grow was 1 month veg, and over a month or so of flowering (which was cut short).

But that vegging was under 24/0. So that might be why I'm behind what I estimated.

Either way, however long it takes, I'll still work on optimizing it. The only thing is, I have a bag of various bag seeds, so this time I might be working with something genetically slow to flower no matter what...then next time happen to have an auto flower dwarf. So I think the whole time frame thing will always be up in the air. I won't be able to schedule if I don't know what seeds I'm using.

But I can still work on pruning and LST on the next go around.
