The 12-12 From Seed Thread

alternatively use coco.. and water as much as you like ;)
Yeah, I plan on switching to CoCo after I use the stuff I have. If you can water as much as you like with CoCo, I'm guessing that you tend to have to water more often then...must drain quicker or something, right?

The plant I showed the pics of is definitely suffering from over-watering/feeding. I forgot but that was the one seed I planted in some old potting soil that had sand mixed in, so it doesn't drain for shit. It's like I bag of mud/cement... My other ones are in a 1/3 Peat 1/3 Verm. 1/3 Perl. mix and they seem to be doing fine (those are the autoflower variety though, so I didn't post any pics of them as this is the 12/12 thread).

Anyway, I sat the drowning plant on the windowsill to get it some good air flow and hopefully some sun to try to dry it out quicker and I actually physically squeezed the SmartPot to get out what moisture I could from the soil. I got a fair amount out, and if the plant perks up I'll re-pot it in a new mix. I'm a bit sad because it looks like it is a female :(

Oh well... that's what I get for planting it before I got my new mix. I was just eager to get started.

Speaking of which, I filled a couple of big styro cups with some of my mix and dropped 1 BubbleGum in each to start under 12/12 because I'm expecting the drowned one to die.

So far the 90W UFO seems to be working well enough to grow the plants, but I haven't reached flowering stage yet with anything.

More later...
 
Hey, I'm wondering if anyone here has grown Bubblegum 12/12 from seed?

If so, do you know how long until harvest? I'm going out of town about the 3rd week of July and I just popped the seeds in the dirt last night. Figure I have about 15 weeks... enough time you think?

Should be fine. Id imagine you'll finish around 11-12 weeks

Update on my first grow (in this lifetime)...

This plant is an experiment of sorts with induction lighting, she's under a 120w induction bulb, in an air pot with canna coco ans A/B nutes, 6 weeks old.

She is a tangerine dream fem from barney's. I have P/K 13/14 ready to introduce when I see the "stars" of pistils on the growing tips. I'm not giving any other kinds of nutes with this one, although next time I'm going to give the full canna line.

So here she is in her 6th week...

I have some auto's that I'm going to try outside next and some Hawaiian/AK47 x Black Widow for the next 12/12FS, along with more TD. I gots the fever ya'll!

Update on my 3rd Dimension lady,23 days into flowering,so has just started to pack on the weight,and will speed up as she gets towards week 5 when she will be at maximum flowering rate.
She has been pollinated with my male chemmy jones,and seem that I have got the exact pheno I hoped for,sativa dom/mega lemon bleach smell to her,so shall produce some nice f1s, of my yet to be named strain,I have kept cuttings from the fathers side,and will back cross with him then with the batch of seeds from that cross I shall add a bit of cheese in the mix,should be a fun project :D.Fortunately as I pollinated early I have only wasted preflowers/internal calyxes so will get a nice bit of smoke and hopefully around 100+ seeds :)

Also going to promote there raffle/contest there going to have. When you preorder his book you get a chance to win a copy of the book called Cannabible.

So things are going good. I will start advertisements soon. My traffic has skyrocketed the past few weeks.

Hope to be joining you guys soon, got about 16 beans in the vermiculite at the moment, hopeing to do 4 trays of 9 plants each, three weeks appart.
I'm waiting on 2 free 400W ballasts from someone who is expecting a baby this week, so I am not expecting to have that too soon. Ordered ppm probe about 2 weeks ago, got second thoughts a week ago, checked and saw its not the one that does pH too, so I had to order a pen for that too. So the ppm meter should be here in the week, and the other probably next week.

For now I have a 250W bulb in a garden fixture I can rip out as well as some of those ordinary garden safty lights with those small flat glass 150W tubes you are not supposed to touch with your bare hands.

I have built the first tray and am busy applying resin and fibreglass as well as sanding it down, forgot what a nasty job it is, but I just couldn;t find a suitable tray, now I will use 4 trays that i can lift to individual heights for the plants in diffirent stages shareing a light.

Busy organising some 5kg coir bricks that have been calcium enriched as medium and will attemt ebb and flow, got a timer kicking around as well as some pond pumps and a thick old rubber rubbish bin to use as a reservoir.
For nutes, don't laugh, I only have those large blue packs of hydrophonic nutes, the name escapes me now, and I'm not getting up from my icecream to go check now. Idealy I want to convert over to the Al be Fuct sog in the medium term to make sure I have a good stock of nice meds, getting anything but swag is geting harder around here. Hopeing it will be done in 3 months in time for my daughter's birth. I think its gonna be challenging.

Del.. your volcano.. digital or classic? solid or easy valve?

anyone else that owns one care to chime in... where's amberooski.. riu is a much quieter and less colourful place without her :/

I heard easy valve is easy but costs to replace $$$'s however I found this
http://vapenow.com/images/pshoots/ps20070925ev/
probably not as easy to replace the bags as it looks though

the solid seems to be more finicky and needs cleaning.

i'm thinking classic with easy, although a lot of people say solid.. but i suppose it will depend on how easy it is to switch bags with the easy valve.
i think i just confused myself.. although it's fairly easy in this state.. easy

The Easy Valve set is even easier to use, with disposable valves pre-fitted with balloons. No messing around with clips or leaking bag. Ideal for those with dexterity problems or the terminally lazy!
sounds about right...
