What are you seeing nameno?

I know me I def. noticed that pure indica are not what you want to grow 12/12 from seed unless you are doing a sea of green. Most crosses I have created perform very well 12/12 from seed and they are usually made with either one of the parent being hybrid/sativa or the 2 parents hybrids/sativas.

And for you guys trying this out of the the first time, use a big final container and transplant as early as you can!! yes only a few days after seeds have sprouted is the perfect time to transplant!

I ran out of time and threw a bunch of 12/12 from seed in my grow room I ll be back with pics in a few months!
Sorry I missed this post. The way I remember Del tried different breeders 'till he hit on bomb,he said then that bomb fit 12x12 well & he went to town on them steady working with them.Bomb turned out good in anybodies book.
I want to find a strain that fits my operation,then settle down and make the best out of it that I can,then customize one to
what I want for my needs. I also need to find a strain for crohns disease for a friend,that's coming up pretty soon.That'll keep me busy for years I only grow 1 at the time.Peace

how much lighting are you using and what size container? amazing de difference between the one you topped hey? I find the mostly indica really get stunted with topped on a 12/12 from seed grow. Your plants are nice and big and healthy for being grown in a small containers .. well actually one look like shes in a 5 gallons, that's how you get big plants 12/12 from seed everyone, big containers and transplant early!! I transplant 2 days old seedlings when I have room in the grow room . Also looks like you are using CFLs !?

Thanks bro.
I'm using 300w of mixed 5000k and 2700k CFL's, and the 2 Berry are in one gallon pots.
The Diesel and the Alpha Blue are in 2 gallon icing buckets from the bakery, LOL.
I usually wait until 21-25 days to move from the Solo cup, then into a 1 gal.
I didn't take pics this time around, but here's what my roots looked like last Winter.View attachment 2965773

I vegged that one for 30 days, and it ended up like this.;-)
I ended up with 2 3/4 oz. dried and cured from her.feb26pic10_zps75b75d74.jpg

A piece of bread or lettuce leaf works better, unless you want lemon smell.
I've seen a mate chuck a loaf of bread into a bin bag full of really dry weed and to be fair it did moisten it back up but I wasn't convinced it would do it any good. Added a lot of weight for him though

Ive got 2 bg bombs just finishing up 1 I topped and one I didn't. The topped one looks like it further along than the other.

they actually make these small perlite or whatever stones wrapped in perforated stainless steel.. they call them herb humidifier.. got mine at Knuckleheads... basically you soak them in water and they will slowly release moisture without leaking water onto any buds

when did you top her? I just tried topping some as seedlings to see if they take better to it. The thing about 12/12 fs is they are all seeds!! they are all different so it's hard to compare different growing method since all seeds are different, even a very stabilized strain will still show lots of variation.

If you go peep post 11297, I put up pics of my 2 Blueberry plants, both grown side by side, sprouted same day and everything, one I topped, one I didn't.
I think I topped around 30 days.

Oh man, it's been too long, I need to get back in the action!

Anyone got any recommendations for seeds(needs to be cheap and fems at the minute!)

Also, I've recently just checked my water PH levels and it's up to 7.2, any recommendations as to what I should get to lower it back down to 5.8(coco)? Links preferred, thanks ^_^

If you don't want to add anything, use FF for your nutes.
From what I heard, AND what I've noticed using it, it DOES drop MY PH quite a bit compared to other stuff.

I'm happy to add stuff such as Ph Down or something assuming it works with Cannabis, as I already have Canna nutrients from my last grow(August I think).

Ph down works great. just don't add too much at once. I'm talking about 2-5 drops at a time. Very potent stuff.
