The 12-12 From Seed Thread

[bigbud2012]

a plant can take a green light for up to 5 mins not sure about white light but i have done the same thing with my plants by leaving a light on during nighttime from seed on 12/12 and theyve both turned out female :O)

5 min, I thought they couldnt see the green light and you could leave it on as long as you need to if your performing maint. or whatever, is that not true?

I have never heard it referred to as a bad thing. Most people try to keep their plants as compact as possible because that's how the buds stack up and get huge.

This is what you get when you have zero stretch: She's got so much going on in there that there are leaves overlapping and shoving other leaves around, final odd-numbered leaf growing out of the center rather than inline with the others, all sorts of stuff, but she's gonna be one bad ass bitch when she gets done... I've never topped her or anything and this is what I got.

She's a little droopy looking in that pic because it was a nighttime, just before lights out pic and she is always a little "tired" around then. Her night-night time is 11:00 and by 10:30ish, she is really sleepy

looks like some bubba kush

Here is a few pics of my blue widow crossed with AK47. This is 12/12 from seed and that is the only way i grow.

I thought so too...but she's not a Kush at all. She's a Red Cherry Berry and she is an indica:

Type : Indica / Sativa
Flowering : Photoperiod
Genetics : Skunk #1 x Californian Indica
Flowering Time : Medium
Outdoor Harvest : Mid October
Height : Medium
THC Level : 14 % CBD: 1.2 %
Characteristics : Big yields / high THC content

I am dying to see her in full flower!

hey 12/12ers just sharing a few photos of where im up to, i have 1 aroma, 1 lemon skunk (only 1 of the lemon out of 3 made it this far, thanks again to GH seeds ) 6 big bomb all in coco, also i have a new home made aeroponics system with 4 big bomb in (big thanks to jimmygreenfingers for helping me build that!) this is the 1st time i have tried hydro and i am very impressed with how fast and good they are growing in there! i cant wait to see the difference.

So, could you explain the basics of how that works? What is the pump you have in the bottom...air or water? And what does the apparatus do? Obviously has little jets...looks cool as hell!

yeah, the pump is a mj1000 water pump and it just sits at the bottom of the res pumps the water up through the filter through the manifold and then through the 8 misters and the roots get sprayed 24/7 with water, i did try using 360 sprinklers but they were to powerful and caused the lid to leek so i had to go with the misters, very easy to build thanks to jimmy helping me.

While that is in no way a good thing, most likely no real harm done. My Alice had a couple of dark periods interrupted during her flowering phase and she did okay. Probably lost a little yield, but she was fine. Don't sweat it too bad. Shit happens... LOL

yea im not too worried even if it herms out, that would be my luck. lol. I'm pretty good at finding random ways to destroy my crop overnight. About how long in 12/12 from seed does it usually take to show sex? this little incident has probably confused and stunted my baby. I shoulda gave her some superthrive last night huh? Should I give her a little tonight? lights come on in 5 hours. She has been steady 12/12 until yesterday i guess was 36/12 lol. I started germinating a feminized black russian seed a couple days ago. I'm hoping that has sprouted today

yea man that looks like it would be fun to build even. So I never understood how in hydro the roots get so damn big. Supposedly if they get enough water the root system stays small right? thats how people grow 12/12ers in 16oz party cups right? So if your shit is getting water CONSTANTLY then why ur roots get so big in hydro?

i think they will just keep growing all the way to the end, im guessing the more roots it can grow the more the plant can produce, this is the 1st time i have ever seen the roots grow like this so its all new to me, i have seen photos of roots in this kind of system an the roots can get very big.

 

[Hypocrite420]

yea, i'm new to EVERYTHING lol but every pic i seen of hydro roots they seem massive yet they constantly have water, so its not like they are stretching out to find food right? idk just always confused me. I know there is someone here that can answer that question... just a matter of when they wake up. lol

yeah thats true lol those plants have not been in there long and the roots are growing fast, i imagine that they look big because they dont spread like when they are in soil/coco they just hang down.

Looking sweet Mr G, vey nice indeed, system seems to be doing its job, plants have come on well since i saw them last. Top work fella.

 

[Endur0xX]

Hi 12/12ers , I am about to try 12/12 not quite from seeds but they just sprouted. I am wondering when you guys start to feed normally? do they need food earlier^? I am using a supersoil and I am wondering if I should have a smaller buffer zone than the usual before they get into the hot soil. Thanks

thanks mate! yeah they are growing up fast! couldn't of done it without you!

Mr G, your water is going in your pot 24/7^? it looks like you use dirt is that right? I dont understand how the roots would not rot if its always wet..1?

 

[UFEELIT?]

yes your plants will stop growing and u will get nothing from it if u dont re-pot, better yet if u have 2 re-pot one and get back to us after you discover something everyone is tryin to tell you, my advice is take the advice lol

 

[Mr G row]

Mr G, your water is going in your pot 24/7^? it looks like you use dirt is that right? I dont understand how the roots would not rot if its always wet..1?

yeah its on all the time so they dont dry out, they are in coco, i think it wont rot because its constantly being refreshed, but you asking the wrong person about that because im new to hydro and just getting my head around it, i have a lot of reading to do.
