The 12-12 From Seed Thread

I am now seeing the ladies and the gents. Looks like it will be 50/50. Should have started under the 5500k flouros, oh well I am still happy. The small one is fem and two of the largest plants are Fem and they are beasts that love to feed. Food is up to 650ppms and climbing. Feeding every three days now, soon every two days. Peace
I now have food up 750 ppms still every three days so far, and adding worm casting teas with some goodies. Now that the sex is showing I was expecting the flowering to get busy, they really haven't formed any bud yet. Is this normal ? The sex showed on one last week and the rest followed each day. The plants totally went 50/50 and they are looking great. This cross is turning out to be a keeper.

seems like 12/12 from seed is the way to go if you're limited to space/amount of plants you're allowed to grow. does anyone here know which strains respond best to 12/12 and which don't? also, has anyone tried cloning from 12/12, how'd that go?

hybrids and sativas, avoid pure indicas unless you pack em very tight, they usually stay very short. I helped my buddy and things are going so well we ran out of room in the small space, plants can get quite big 12/12 from seed. I posted a pics on this thread of this current grow and we have been fighting for the last 2 weeks because plants are 6'' from the lights and keep stretching like mad .. it's a jungle ... it went too well!

Cant believe...after all these ears i am just now thinking about 1212! I just harvested a plant that i lstd, dwcd, pcpd, etc....for what? I got some good bud but took a LONG vegimatate. AND all that crap weed i use to grow? You meen to tell me, i could have grown 20 in little pots of coco and?....BAM ALL FREAKING HEADIES. This is great. I have been so focused on my HYDRO dinero grow, that i havent broadened my horizons in any other way. I just flowered with a MH and had my best harvest, btw.

that may explain why my plants stayed on the small side. i also thought it was from the cold ass weather we have had. i got a kush that is only about 9" tall and my other two are about 11" and 12". while indoors i have them under a 100 watt hps, 4 55 watt cfls and i'm adding 2 20 watt led floods today, if the weather is good i put them outside to soak up some sunlight. last weeks pics.
kush


this is one i breed and mom was heavy indica. i called mom pink.


this is some really good bagseed called special? i do know i had a 1/2 oz bud with a shit load of seeds. i had tried this one 12/12 before and it was i that had the problems, not the plants it was my indoor learning curve and first indoor grow with girls. they did great outdoors last summer.

yea, i've seen all kinds of pictures where they stretch out like crazy! and the colas are fat as hell. gotta love it! saw where someone had to go back to 400 from 600 because they were growing too fast and kept reaching the lights after multiple adjustments.

Green you got awesome results with LED man, but the thing is, how much did you spent on all those chips? I want LED to beast it out so bad! But it doesn't do it like HPS. Sure you could go 1000w of LED and get mmmmmm 70% or so of what an HPS 1000 would pop out, but 1000w of LED is like $2000-$4000 depending on quality!!

Question

I could run House & Garden through 3 gal coco pots, have 9 girls in a 3x3 configuration below a powerful 600 and get 3oz per plant?? Is that what this thread is suggesting?

If so I'm down to try. The lucky number seems to be 1lb per 600, but this method suggests I could grab over 1.5lb in that meter of premium light w/o using any advanced growing methods.

I got my first LEDs at a discount price for having a journal, afterward I did pay full price for a couple units (1500$ for a 600w, times 3), but the best units I have have never failed me (I did have to fix the first expensive fixture I ever bought, today actually!! it didnt cost me anything only time) and if they work as advertised, I won't have to spend money on lighting for well over 10 years. It's been around 2 years I think for most of my lights. The 3 Area51 I have are still working 100% I really think these lights will go forever. And they don't lose intensity so you never have to worry that your bulbs are on their way.

these 2 plants WERE NOT GROWN 12/12 from seed but they were small clone when they went in the budding room, 100% LED grown, I chopped them today :eyesmoke:
