Reg seeds are not to be scared of LOL ... if all went to fems there would be no more males to make new strains with ... fuck fems LOL

i find the best thing with seeds is to bang them on 12/12 as soon as they sprout , a male will show sex normally by the 2nd week of 12/12 and a week or so before the females so if you see a male then rip it out and stick ya lights back to 18/6 as the rest will 99% be females .. well thats how i normally do it , lets me seperate my males and isolate them aswell if i want to use them for pollen

Yeah, I ain't scared of em lol. but iv only got 1 of each seed so if it ain't a fem its off the menu lol. And I wanted to stick it under 12/12 but iv only got the one tent so fucked on that front to ha.

*edit* and about the duel bulbed hoods, sambo was going on about them a while back. They look good but I don't think any ones tried one yet.

you gotta be carefull 12/12 from seed though mate , some strains will yield shit loads some wont yield anything ... i used to grow 12/12 from seed exclusive , and while you get good return on some you get shit on others , also even the same seeds will give diff results , i actually got a 12/12 from seed grow going at the minute at a friends house .... 3 of the plants are huge and gonna yield big , 1 is medium but absolutly full of bud and the last one is fucking shit and will be lucky to yield a 8th LOL

Have you read Delboys 12/12 from seed thread on this forum mate ? its a good read if you havnt

say with a 12/12 from seed on say a 8-9wk strain how many weeks are taken before that plant even flowers and then you got your 8-9 flower time? must be a good few weeks shorely so that 12-12 from seed is taking more like 12wks ish to get your finshed bud no?

ther expensive for hoods aint they 150 the cfl ones just need a hps female wire put on

anwyays the side by side ones i aint keen on robbie the one like cfl wer a bulb goes in each end are the best IMO for light spread and stuff and u get more bulb surface pointing towards teh plant, rather than side by side bulbs


as for 1212 from seed, would a longer flowering time strain do better than say a 9 weeker, so a 13 week flower 12-12 would do betet rthan 1 9 week finsiher, obviously they have a natural veg bit at the start even at 12-12

i personally dont see the point if your churning out grow after grow then time is everything if it takes longer why???

not to mention you also have to increase plant count making shit more risky for less grows per year also???

on average 12/12 from seed normally takes me 11 - 12 weeks and i can (could... not done it regular for abit) pull roughly 3 oz a plant ......

while that might not sound alot to you , you have to remember that it saves electric by not going 18/6 and because the tent is always on 12 /12 you can run a perpetual set up just adding and replacing plants as you seem fit , its a great idea for people who like different strains and only have access to 1 tent . ALSO 12/12 from seed lets people try true sativas as you dont need to wait 30 weeks to grow them out lol ....

best advice i can give if growing 12/12 is do EVERYTHING you can in the 1st 3 weeks to get the root mass as big as possible , dont stunt or overfeed or generally do anything to fuck your plants growth for the 1st 3 weeks and you will get the best chance of yielding well ..... you need to get the plant as big as you can before it starts to go into flower ... (aprox 3 - 5 weeks into 12/12 )

sambo read my last post mate .....

i wouldnt recommend it for commercial grows but for perpetual percy imo its a no brainer .... you can chop a plant every 2 weeks n get 3-5 oz of different bud (strains) to try out and still have abit to knock out if you wanted ....

most ive run is 2400 4x600 and i totally agree it kills the leccy, but when running veg i wouldnt use all them lights only in flower.
Click to expand...
well my lekki wen running 5x600 was a tad more consiering i had half the timers on 18-6 and the other half on 6-18

so OUCH!lol

ive decided just to have 3 tents 2x 1.5 and have a 600 in each with 3 plants under each and a small veg tent with 2x125 watt blue specs or 1x 250 hps, i may go hps, the thought on multipole lights was a bitch and couldnt be arsed, but switchable ballasts are on the horizon.


and robbie as i brush both my shoulders of 5 Z is standard for this thread, u yeild less, go to the irish thread or that chedders thread, ther all piss poor yeilders

HAHA
