hello mate, i start my plants under a 250 watt enviro on 12-12 in 7 cm pots, they are in coco and get 1/4 strength nutes from the very start, i repot into a 13 cm pot still under enviro and then within days they go under the 600, my normal practice is to wait til hairs start then pot up to a 6 or 10 litre pot to flower, i dont start flowering nutes til i see flowers start. i obviously ph but thats all no ppm.......Hey del i'm a noob first time grower.....but just so i understand, from when you put the seed in your medium your light is set to 12/12 correct? Also do you wait till the 3rd/4th set of true leaves to start feeding nutes? I'll assume you use some kinda veg nutes till you see flowers starting to form then switch to flowering nutes? For your lights are you using the same light from beginning to end a 600w hps? Do you check ppm, if so what ppm do you start off at when feeding veg and then what do you start off at when feeding in flower? Sorry for all the questions but this is all new and very interesting to me. Your pics look great, keep up the great work and updates

Il just keep an eye on it, prayin for pistils
I know you use coco and ive been looking into using something other than soil so would you highly recommend using coco? Do you just feed as if it were soil?

i switched to coco at the start of this grow and its really good mate, im using canna feed at mo but was using hesi til a few weeks ago, i water mine every other day with feed added, ive even been known to give them an extra 1 on their dry day every so often, as long as you ph you will have lovely green plants all the way til the end. never done that with soil.Il just keep an eye on it, prayin for pistils

hello mate, yes done blue mystic, lovely smoke, very sticky and lots of thc, they had a rough ride, some bad lighting for a start but finished under a 400 hps, think they had a little veg and pulled 1 1/2 - 2 per plant. would rather lst than cut my plant , did it once a bit to late and didnt go good but if yours has had time to recover and the branches have grown then you should be ok, no flowers yet then, whats your light?

Thats why i want to get away from the soil, too many problems. Can you use soil nute with coco? Ive got biogrow, biobloom n topmax left over.

No I`ve only ever used regular seed or female clones. Ive just never used 12/12 from seed and hadnt seen anyone who had done it with non-auto seeds.
Good info to know! Thanks!

think id go with the coco specific nutes if i could mate although ive heard a few people say you should be able to if you add cal and mag

i thought the point of auto seeds was to leave the lights on 18 hours a day to get the fattest buds, doing autos on 12-12 seems a little counter productive........

What's up HC !?
The "12/12 From Seed" in my signature is a grow of REGULAR seeds using Magic Monkey (Outlaw Grower's Magic Merlin x Gorilla Grape).
Started w/ 4 seeds and got 3 females that gave a DRY YIELD of 6+ ounces around Day 85 from seed.
The first 3 - 4 weeks during 12/12 FS, the plant is actually in it's vegetation state then bloom kicks in.
Some strains will veg shorter/longer than others.
But a VERY common misperception is that the plant is actually Blooming during those 1st few weeks.
Same with Auto Flower's, but their veg cycle is actually 2 - 3 weeks before bloom starts so they finish a few weeks sooner than regular seeds.
IMHO, only a Pure Indica in regular seed form can finish ALMOST as fast as an Auto Flower, and that's in 70 - 77 days if you're fortunate.
It's these hybrids that take 80+ days.

cheers del...yes mate it just has pre flowers staring to form now,and it has recovered as the 4 main branches have grew about 6 inchs past were i topped,it is under a 600w sunmaster and by the looks of things it loves it,alredy got a very sweet smell when you brush along the stems,im shooting for 2 zips and i think im on course for that as it has ample of lumes,its getting fed canna flores alongside canna boost,which i hope for the money does what it says it does,its my first time useing the canna range,have you had much use of this stuff?and if so is it money well spent as im a bit dubious at the price of it?cheers mate!!!!!
