The 12-12 From Seed Thread

[Mr G row]

thats what me an my mates smoked everyday! about 12 years ago when i stopped doing them, we called them buckets, mainly because we had a bucket full of water lol

 

[Hypocrite420]

no, seriously , i feel so deprived.. i guess growin up in New Jersey wasnt all that hip after all..lol..
we did make bowls otta toliet paper rolls and tinfoil.. how fuckin ghetto is THAT! hahha.. I will never forget the first time i got stoned.

The first bowl that I ever made was a steamroller like that out of a paper towel roll, a hollowed out matchbox car, and tin foil LMAO

yeah, they get called buckets around here too (though bucket is a translation lol)

actually sitting right next to a bucket right now , excuse me puff

 

[Hypocrite420]

the best gravity bongs, have bowls made from a wrenchtop size 12 (cirka, it should fit snugly into a 2l bottle)

with a screen (can use the screens from a faucet)+

Yea I dont know what size mine is, but this is my trusty GB cap. Thing packs a punch. You should seriously make one Amber. Not something you will want to use every day but just to say that you have tried it lol

thats good wish i had thought of that back in the day! we just used foil lol

 

[Hypocrite420]

haha you know you said it was about 12 years ago when that was popular. It was about 10-11 for me, and I first seen it done just like that in richmond. Funny thing is I am in DC now and my next door neighbor told me the first place he had seen the GB made with a socket wrench was in Richmond too... I want to know who first did this lol

that is a good idea! its well hard trying to poke holes in foil with a pin when you have been smoking GB/Buckets! the amount of time the foil rips when you try to poke a hole in it is unbelievable! lmao that would of saved us loads of time lol

 

[Hypocrite420]

Yea I'm thinkin about starting a Gravity Bong thread. See if we can trace back its earliest date and place of origin haha. sorry del for blowin up your thread. I just had such a good morning listening to Alice in Chains while rippin the bucket. Brought back old memories

 

[Mr G row]

sounds good, it would be interesting just to see how many people have smoked this way. it has brought back loads of old smoking memories im missing smoking them now! lol

I just cut a branche from a vegging plant to clone it, can I put this clone under 12/12 right away even if there is no roots yet? say it says 55days to harvest, can I count today as day 1 ? I assume it will probably take a little longer than 55days since there is no roots yet just wwondering if the plants is actually going to root under 12-12 thansk

nobody can help?I guess I ll soon find out if it survives anyway!...

hmm, its better to use a bigger wrench top, one that actually fits into the bottle itself,(where the cap screws(forget the word)) not the cap (doesnt it melt? (plus its from questionable plastic, more likely to create fumes)

much easier to, to just get a big wrench top, can buy them solo too and cheap.

 

[sso]

havent tried to do that, but possibly it might begin to flower and root.

i think some guys do this, cut a top, stick it into 12/12 unrooted.

but maybe you have to root it first.

 

[Hypocrite420]

I cut a clone off my plant as soon as I found out it was a female and it took about10 days to root and those 10 days were hell for it. I almost gave up, but it just pulled through and started showing new growth so I stuck it in 12/12 a couple nights ago. It started growing white hairs immediately.

 

[brokenturtle3102]

Hypocrite don't be surprised if you get a mini plant. You can place unrooted clones into flowering and they will root, but they will be tiny plants. I have two blueberries I am about to harvest that were 11 days from clone, and it is a Popsicle. No side branching, just one cola. That's what they tend to look like. At the same time, don't be surprised to harvest a week before usual flowering time. Clones without roots finish much quicker.

 

[Hypocrite420]

those clones did have roots when i put them in my flower room. I dont mind if they stay small anyways, I was just experimenting. Noob here

 

[Endur0xX]

AHHA, I thought you were calling me hypocrite! I was like wtf!!

Well it's good news if it's ready to harvest earlier this way, and I am fine with a small plant I just wanted some of my own to smoke around Christmas!!

 

[lonestand]

well i can deff see the pros in going 12/12 from seed! im thinking about it seriously now.

My question is what are the Cons you guys have seen, to the people that have been growing this way?

 

[BigBudzzzz]

Of course they will slow down growth once you top it. The trick to having big plants after you top is to get a larger root container. My 60 day old 12/12 from seed plant was topped at day 20, and it remained small until I transplanted it around day 48. Now at day 60, it shot up a foot. Just personal experience.

Thanks for the info, I'll try it when I get the space. As you can see I have quite a few plants going at once and am running out of room quickly. At this point I just want to get this Scrog completed and then I'm going to give 12/12 from seed some real time. That way things are mobile because I think I'm going to redesign my grow area, yes, once again. That way I won't have to be trying to fig out how to move a developing scrog.

1, you need a supply of seeds, not always easy depending where you are then theres the expense. You could make your own if you have space or use bagseed if you wanna chance it.
2, it can be a gamble you just never know what that bean is gonna do for sure. Even the best genetics can throw out the odd freak. Once you've grown out a strain a few times then you can be pretty sure it's gonna deliver for you but there is always the chance for getting the odd reject.
3, not all strains like it 12/12 from word go
None of the above is really a problem, the positives of 12/12 far outweigh the negatives.

 

[yarddog14]

how much have you been able to harvest on plant strains that do produce and utilize 12 12 .. dry weight per plant im wondering on avg cause each strain is different..??? thats all i have questions for so i know where im at in growing this way....so i can compare and look back and see what i could have down or tweak my grow to the 12 12.. im 4 wks in 12 12 just would liek to know what to expect thanks ..
