The 12-12 From Seed Thread

soil = bigger pots = bigger yield. For 12/12 from seed, the diminished return is from around 7 gallons when grown in supersoil in my opinion/experience. I am sure lots of people are pulling similar yield in smaller containers... would be curious to see what people getting 1/4lbs + are using. My best plants are 1/4lbs in a 7gallons and 5.5oz in 10 gallons. Still experimenting though but if you can deal with the humidity or if you are only growing 1-2 plants I would strongly recommend using as big as you can up to 10 gallons.
Whoa! That big of pot even for 12/12? So how tall can they get in a 7-10 gallon pot?

Can anyone tell me what size pot is efficient for 12/12 grow? We talking 10" pot or 12-13" pot? or...larger? Thanks
I have found the bigger the pot the longer the flower so it seems. I ran Sweet Deep grapefruit some in 1gal some in 3gal. I am chopping the 1gals tomorrow and the 3gals appear to have another week maybe two. I am running Coco w/ some perlite

edit to add that i think 2gals is a happy medium. I started 3 NL from homegrown fanta seeds and 2 are in solid pots and 1 is in air pot all 2gal. Airpot hasnt stretched as bad. Not sure how del and these guys are keeping plants so short all of mine are blowing up to 3ft or higher.
 
2012-11-08_19.31.30.jpgim a new grower and after reading this journal ive decided to try the 12/12 with 3 nirvana northern lights.difference is id set them in soil+perlite before i got here and i cant afford to change atm. my grow tent is only 3ftx 3ft x 5ft tall. im on a sunmaster dual spectrum with 2 fans.ive also put 1 of them in my wardrobe under a blue 125 cfl to keep as a mother.
my question is.has anyone any experience of growing this method in soil as i note you all use hydr-canna etc? any advice would be very nuch appreciated.

i got 1x LA confidential, 1x nirvana white rhino and 1x nirvana ak48 on the way! But im gonna veg them to the first node, then top them and immediately switch to 12/12. So not technically a 12/12 from seed, but i think having many thin branches will make managing multi strains in a small space a bit easier. will be abit like a SOG (in my mind that is)

yes big containers have worked for me very well... I dont want to stir people in wrong direction and I dont recommend doing this if you cant deal with the humidity.

That is why I am asking who else can pull 1/4 lbs + 12/12 fs and what size container they use because so far I have done it 7 gallons smart pot no smaller. Also I am using my own supersoil which is fairly weak, if you feed bottled nutrients 5 gallons would give great results but still might be overkill.

I think that if you switch to 12/12 before the plant is mature enough to flower, it's basically the same as 12/12 from seed

I'm beggining a 12/12 grow here and I'm wondering as for nutes, is it alright to use some veg nutes then switch to bloom nutes?

i wonder if the roots are growning down through the little pot and into the upside down pot with some sort of speacial hydroponics root boosting system.
