The 12-12 From Seed Thread

Think it will depend on strain whether u get a stretch m8 and what ur growin in. A run 12/12fs in ma aquafarm last christmas and it was 5ft tall pics r somewhere in ma thread,was cotton candy from delicious.
 
Mines never go less than 3ft. My super haze is almost 5ft.

I broke out the tape and measured from the top of the dirt(coco)...

It would be great to get a 2ft non-branching single cola like the famous bubblebomb! :weed:
 
So I'm back with vengeance for another 12/12 from seed
Set up is a 600w HPS With cool tube setup
Soil with coco

Got 1.4m of headheight so need to keep them low.

4 Amnesia Haze are about 2" after a few days
6 unknown have grown before and seemed genetically small had a cheesey sick type smell to it.

Should have another 4 cuttings to go in with them soon.

The plan is to add plants into this grow at the half way point. The idea being that way I should have plants finishing around every 2 months. Targeting 20oz harvest.

Nobody likes pictures of seeds so I didn't bother, when I go to add the second batch of plants I will upload some pictures ;)

Here is my first 12/12 from seed. Started them off in party cups because I forgot to get seedling trays ¬_¬ These are 8days(Blueberry) and 7days(OG and Cannalope) old in this picture. When the light comes on at 6am, they will be starting their 14th day. I'll get some pictures when the light comes on.

What do you guys think? Thanks.
 
So here is the room, Thought I would share it with you all.

So you can see 4 are up (1 week old) and 6 are tiny seedlings (2 days Old) , I might be getting some cuttings soon to add to the party. Little yellowed, I tried a different soil mix and they showed deficiency at 1 week!

Got the oscilating fan there with the heater pointing at it, keeps nice and warm in there between 68 -78 at night and around 85 at night (only below the light)

The cooltube works very well, you can put your hand directly on the glass without burning, gets hot if you leave it there for a long time so I guess the plants can't touch it still.

At the end there is there I hid my fan, it's wrapped up in insulation and a bedsheet, works very well I recommend it! Barely hear the fan over the sound of air.
 
Haha, well there's more explanations in F than there is in C so it's easier to work the room in that. To be quite honest I don't know what temp it is, I work in C so to me it's just a number I try to get as close to as possible.
 
When running 12/12fs should you bother with topping or just let the plant run untouched? Is there enough time for the plant to recover from topping in 12/12fs?

With my first grow I'm just going to leave it, see how it does. This is my first indoor grow, so I want to be as little involved as possible in order to study and learn from what happens.

yes 1 topping is great (I topped them very young), 2 topping would require great timing not to affect the yield
 
Yeah you can top them, it has to be early though, I think I did it around 2.5 weeks. The plant then split into 4 amazing colas it was something special.

However when I did it I was just experimenting and I must say the quality was lower on the topped plant, yield was slightly higher.

Personal recommendation would be no.
 
Just transplanted my OG Kush and Cannalope Kush into 8litre pots. Roots were nice a white when I transplanted but a bit rootbound. So that will soon change.

Starting with the 8 litre pots going from back to front:

O.G Kush - Reserva Privada
Cannalope Kush - DNA Genetics
Blueberry - Dutch Passion(apparently)

In the party cup we have one more suppossed Blueberry by Dutch Passion and also in the seedling pot, a Cinderella 99 by Female seeds, yummy!

The "Blueberry's" are two weeks old today and the OG and Cannalope will be two weeks old tomorrow. I LOVE BIRTHDAYS!

Thanks everyone on the topping advice. I think I will leave them alone. I want the best quality over quantity.
