Here's my experience with 12/12 from seed. I grew 2 Durban Poison 3 White Widow 1 Jock Horror and 2 Northern Lights. The plants never reached their potential. They stunted at about 30" The plants were a little scraggly and did not take nutes very well at all. I have grown all the above plants on a regular veg cycle first and the yields were 50% better on the regular schedule. But.....all of the plants finished in 60 days of flowering or less and the smoke was as good as the regular grow. To me it's not worth sacrificing that much yield for savings a week or two.

I think an AutoFlower would accomplish the same thing.

I've done 12/12 from clone got an 1/8 per plant in a half gal pot. Bubba kush. each one was lollipopped so only 1 bud. I just started my first 12/12 from seed. 2 of them, raspberry cough x og and raspberry cough x master kush. Ras is a sativa dom hybrid and the og is probably 50/50 hybrid and the master is an i.b.l. pure indica. Ras and master are chunky donkeys and the og is small buds but fill out completely.


Del what size pots are you using? I started mine in red party cups. In a few days or so going to transplant them into 5 gal air pots.

i dig the whole 12/12 method.. but u say your only pulling 1/8th off a whole plant??? like i said i have a 400 watt hps and am looking to harvest a plant or 2 every 2 weeks, def gonna need more then a 1/4 every 2 weeks haha.. let me give you a little more info on my set up :
my space is 5ft 5inch tall, 2ft 11 inch wide and 1ft 10inch deep, def not planing to use all the height tho haha.. 400 watt hps with a air cooled hood.I havent gotten a fan for it yet tho, looking at the htg 4" or the htg 6" inline fan, any thoughts on em? FFOF soil with bio-bizz grow, bloom, molasses and diamond black,i will get more nutes and additives tho for sure!! Iam gonna start up around September 20th when i get back from vacation so i have a little time to get things ready and keep reading forum after forum

thanks for the help
peace!

the 18/8 each was just lik 8 clones that went straight to flower in half gal pots. a kush strain so not a big yielder. if it were from seed i would of put in bigger pot and got way more. the htg fan works ok. ive used the 6 inch one. it has a rubber fan. if you are going 4 inch. just try the 6 inch booster duct fans. much cheaper and do the same job.

if you want a n inline fan vortex is the best but more money. it does has the highest cfm and a 10 year warranty. its around $180 for a 6inch

When doing 12/12 from seed what is the growing process? Once they start showing signs of flower to you replace the lights with lower spectrum but keep the same hours ( 12/12 ) or just keep the same spectrum lights as in veg but back the hours down to 8/16?
 
Just starting a 12/12 from seed. Using 10x23 watt 2700K CFL's in a 2x2x3 cabinet. Using Earth Juice amazon bloom for soil and Earth Juice Sweet and heavy fertilizer for half the plants and JR Peters Variegated Violet 5-50-18 for the other half as a comparison grow.
Seeds that popped are 6 Kali Mist from serious seeds 6 out of 10. And 12 seeds from seedbay grown by S_a_H called Catalayst x Vitality and 12 from S_a_H called Vanilluna x Kalimist x Kalimist x FLO . I will be growing these in 16oz soda bottles that I have read about from DrBudGreengenes . I had 100% germination from all the S_a_H seeds. I guess that it is time to transplant them from the root riot plugs and the jiffy cubes because the roots are starting to poke out of them. This is my first grow since growing outdoors 100 miles below the arctic circle in 1973. I am thinking about starting a grow journal for advice and to be able to talk about growing since I will not tell anyone I know what I am doing.

This is a thread to post pictures, info, questions and any thing to do with a 12/12 from seed or 12/12 from rooted clone. As there is no 12/12 from seed journial section this thread might be a nice place to brag up your grows. So post pictures of your 12/12 from seed babies. And links to your grow journials. Rules to post: 1 - Only 12/12 from seed (day come of of the ground) no veg time. You can use clones if they start the 12/12 as soon as they are rooted. You still need to root clones two weeks on 18/6. 2 - Please be nice and welcome new posters. 3 - Post a link to any jornials you are doing in addition to info that helps us all learn. Thanks I'll edit as needed. Now lets grow into the biggest club on here. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ I'll join first. This is my grom on day 63 https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journals/151253-12-12-seed-harvest-1-a.html and a picture at bed Day 63 Good Night Girls. Some buds
My Flower Chamber is lighted with a 430 watt hps and a few 26 watt and 42 watt cfl's as needed.
great rules and sexy plants!

if you would read up you would know why everthing you said is wrong.

And if you would read the first post then you can see why that post should not be there in the first place.

So where is you question or is it a habbit of your to muck up others threads. I hope you made better uses of you other 180 posts.

or look at the photos wow those are small 5 ft plants 64 day old lol

If its your first grow just throw in any seed that will sprout.
Look at it as working the kinks out. your first grow will show you limits of what to and not to do. Then you know what to expect. Good Luck

then take that knowledge and on the second run u will be golden

can keep blue spectrum but red spectrum is best. Don't change lights below 12/12 :leaf:
