The 12-12 From Seed Thread

Here’s my 12/12 update again. Lots of new growth since my last extreme defoliation. 11-12th nodes now and they seem to be starting the 12/12 stretch

I mean if your growing alot. But whej your talking 1 plant or 2 total.. That would be alot.. We are on different ends of the spectrum lol. Personal small grow. Id be happy with a few oz. So saying 20 oz per sw meter isn't much.. Well sir.. You're crazy lol
 
Damn how many nodes do you have for that and how many weeks? I’m at 4 weeks 4 days and don’t see preflowers yet. I did accidentally mess my timer up for 5 days 2 weeks ago and gave near enough 24 hour light so that could of set mine back

Idk whats goin on w this one lol it should def not b showing sex but it is somehow. It is only 2 weeks into veg and doesnt even have fan leaves yet. Its tiny, i didnt even think that could happen this early... Weird
 
Might just cull em all when my new seeds come in. I don't wanna waste time/resources. Though a micro plant would b kinda cool
 
I’m starting my next round of seeds today 110 royal gorilla they will spend the first 2 weeks as a seedling in my new tiny seedling area by that point my current batch that are in the picture above will be moved into their final resting place the main flower area where they will get 1sqft of space each

The aim is to maximise efficiency since I only have so much grow space.

First 2 weeks in a tiny chamber in 6cm net pots

Then into 4 inch net pots with 4 plants per sqft for 5 weeks with extreme defoliation once or twice a week

Then into my main flower area with 1 plant per sqft. For final 5 weeks.

This should give me a harvest every 5 weeks.

I need to somehow improve my hydro system in the photo I put above.

I basically have a 16000 lph pump creating a huge water current through the totes I have 3 control tanks with venturis bubbling away so oxygen is always at max. The water circulates the entire system once every 54 seconds.

Yet my root growth is far from ideal. Roots aren’t white as I use bennies in my res.

Basically my setup is more like a deep NFT system I couldn’t put air stones in these huge buckets as the roots would just get tangled in them

Anyone got any ideas what it could be?

Top growth is perfectly healthy

Heavily defoliated again today. All early branches now chopped to their first nodes at the start of week 5 from seed

This thread is so quiet now.
im only just starting to see very tiny hairs appearing on the tops of the plants...

Im starting week 7 today. I did not expect them to take this long before flowers appeared. I don’t know if it’s genetics or if I’m severely slowing down flower set due to pruning all fan leaves weekly
 
You do know that this thread was originally started by someone 8 years ago and that’s no longer active don’t you?
Yeah I know but 612 pages later and it’s been going for the entire 8 years. It’s a long running thread. No point starting another thread for 12/12 from seed when we already have it
 
I didnt started mine 12-12. Currently experimenting with single cola from seed. I have 4 strain going and taking notes and so far I'm liking the result.

Here's my forest at 1st wk of flip

This strain have hardly any long branches
defoliated 8th wk (2).jpg

I have another strain that's flip at 5 wks which has plenty of branches
The rest were flipped at 7 weeks

I'm liking the effect of total defoliation. I might try your defoliation technique in my next run.

Your side branches look smaller than mine. Did you remove fan leaves as soon as they formed?

What kind of lighting are you using for this. Looks like it may have some far red, 730nm?

No, I defoliated as soon as I flipped to 12/12 but on hindsight, I might start defoliating after the 6th node.

Just my old cheap chinese burple light. I think it has, this light has been good to me, I think I'll run a few more grow before getting the full spectrum light.
