It really doesnt matter if its a 12/12 grow or a grow where the plants been vegged, the plant will tell you what it needs there is no definative answer in my book except look at your plant. I wouldnt go giving a full strength dose of nutes to my plants when there two weeks old no matter what grow im doing but then again ive only ever done hydro. It has alot to do with the nutes you use i use sensi and this is strong stuff, a full strength on young plants and you've fried em, i never go by what the back of the nute bottle says always with what the plant is saying, as for swapping from grow/bloom thats down to the grower and again what nutes/medium your using better quaility nutes prevent alot of faffing about.

Should be a little easier for me, gonna do 4 plants per 600w, some in coco others DWC or something else, wont have to feed half by hand which will save me some time. Still ave plenty to do tho and wanna continue with a perpetual grow and pull a plant a week. The tent stays on 12/12 and ill use the cabs for vegging so i can just pull one form the tent and replace from the cab. Thats the plan anyway. Whats your grow situation like? you breeding or 12/12 growing, got much left after the clear out or you gotta start from scratch.
cant say as i blame you mate can be a shed load of work..stops being fun.............i got 2 bubblebombs left who have been abused and when i got the back they had spider mites..didnt notice til last night..sprayed with neem and will spray again in 2 days........got 2 cheese bombs in germ and 2 big bombs....breeding is going ahead again within 8 weeks for sure..these are my 2 bubblebombs now back under my 600....

im about to start 12/12 after i chop down my super lemon haze and it will be my first time but my question is after you get the seedling going do you give it the recommended flowering nutes ration right off the bat or what?
first question i will ask you is what is your growing medium?.compost doesnt need nutes for first 3-4 weeks of use, in coco i use full strength hesi from 10-14 days then swap to full strength hesi coco bloom when the plant is showing flowers.........

Not wrong there mate, i musta had 30 odd or so on the go and feeding the fuckers became a chore, think theres about 25 in the tent so ill be glad to ave fewer plants to feed when there done, plus dwc looks after itself all i gotta do is keep an eye on the ec/pc so even less to worry about. Fucking bastard mites lol those girls dont look too bad tho, its that time of year i suppose i aint had them for a few years now and hope i dont. You've grown enough BB now, ever thought about finding a keeper and doing 12/12 from clone?

yeah mate i should find a keeper i guess but its space and i like variety ............im confident in dealing with the mites.i live under trees so i have to expect them....still got 10 thc bomb regs and 10 bubblegum regs to use up too....less plants can certainly be more productive im finding.

It amazes me sometimes how these little fuckers find there way in, ive had them in my big cab and thats sealed and the plants never came out, they can certainly sniff out a grow. Im gonna do a few sativa strains now ive got the space. Laughing buddha is one im looking at i aint done a satty for a long time now so looking forward to aving a bash at a few, took a clone of great white shark and gonna do her 12/12 from clone to compare with the seed grow ive just done. Ill be running 4 main strains all the time and rather than keep mothers ill just clone just before they go into flower veg em up and clone then flower and continue with this method, any space left in the tent is for my experimenting.

Hey guys, Here is one of my 12/12 girls. I needed to supercrop both of my K-Trains twice because they were soooo stretchy. My lemon skunk and cc x livers are so stocky and im trying to keep as even a canopy as i can. Some people think she is super ugly but i think she is really wicked looking with her claw like leaves. :-P

Short answer is no. You can get 1+ oz per plant, but it won't happen in under 50 days.

The stuff ive just got is totally different to the last lot. The first batch was much more fibrous more husk and needed watering everyday, this new batch looks exactly like peat, infact thats what i first thought when i saw this stuff and it has a much more earthy type smell also says it comes with "organic coir and FF nutes". Its 100% coco but just a much finer type, the first batch didnt come in nice big bags with the company name plastered all over the side for the neighbours too see lol, so its the first time ive read about added nutes and wondered if youve run into any trouble or noticed a difference because im not sure the added nutes are working well with my chem nutes.

yes mate you have hit the nail on the head............the first time i use it i soak it and squeeze some of the water out before potting then i water well withe nuted water with plenty of run off to clear any nutes that may have been added.............yeah ther grey plain packing was a little more discreet but lucky i only order twice per year..
