I was wondering, I have done 12/12 from seed before, but I have read pinching the plant above the first true node, will create two main colas. Will this work if doing 12/12 from seed. I am going to try this, I want to know what my plants are going to be like.

Might, id jus top it. Ive done my fair share of 12/12. I always toped after 3rd-4th node appeared. Worked finr for me. Good luck, smoke well..

What do you get when you top it? Two main colas still? I am most likely going to try the above the first node cause thats what uncle ben says

the first true node.... which would be the 2nd or 3rd node on the plant.

Which one do you mean? Wouldn't it be, there's the first two little leaves, then the first pair of actaul leaves, which is first true node, then right above that? that is what I was planning

I always top mine above the second true node, for four tops. The original node where the first, single-bladed leaves is, do not count as a node.

4 tops would probably be too much. I am doing 12/12 from seed, and only have so much space. I dont think they'd get full of bud if I did 4, I think they'd be small main colas. 2 I think will work.

Youll have space for 4. 12/12 from seed is gonna dramatically reduce ur yield. Those cola wont get to big. Good luck!

My grow space is 4'x28" and im doing 12. It will be way too crowded with 4. I think 2 might even be too much, cause right now with 1 it's purdy crowded :D

I hear what you're saying. Maybe it's just the strains I've grown so far, or not enough light - but each time I've topped a plant that way, it's really reduced the amount of side branching I get. I don't know - up to you, you could always do a little experiment, try it on one.

Yea I was thinking that, I might try it, one I wont do anything, most ill do two, and maybe 1 4, but I am note sure if there is enough vegging in 12/12 from seeed to accomplish getting the height on nodes, and then regrowing new colas, it might make it's grow life significantly longer. Which i wouldnt like
