Two clones and two seeds 12/12 from the beginning

Well, I really wanted to try growing 12/12 from seed so I'm gonna try it with two clones and two seeds, they are actually 3 seeds but I think one of then is not gonna make it

Clones strain: Durban Poison
Seeds strain: 1xDurban poison and 1xCritical+
Lighting night-stand: 63W CLF
Lighting pc box: 31W CLF

At the moment I've got both seeds under 22W CLF 24/0 with one clone and the other clone is already in 12/12.

I'll actually have the seeds under 24/0 light for five days and after that I'll move then to 12/12. The clone that I've under 24/0 I'll move it to 12/12 when it develops some roots to see if it makes much of a difference with the other one I already have in 12/12.

The seeds show the cotyledons on 18/08 and 19/08 and still waiting for the clones to root. I put them in peat moss the 14/08 so I guess it's still a bit soon, but they've got a good color so I'm hopping they'll be fine

good luck. you going to post pics? ill keep an eye, a little curious about 121/12 from the start.

Well there is not much to see right now but yes, here are some pics:

Durban poison seed: (show cotyledons the 18/08 )


Critical+ seed: (show cotyledons the 19/08 )


Clone under 24/0 light:


Clone under 12h light:


The only thing that has my attention right now is the height of the DP seed which is 10cm (it was 9cm yesterday). Everything else seems normal

Yes, I'm curious myself too, hopping that this 12/12 thing works well coz I've got very little space to grow indoor I'll also try LST with this guys when they are ready.

Will keep updating pictures and information.

looks good. im not surprised at the length. first time 12/12 from the start?

You are not surprised ? well, this the 18th seed I plant from the same Mather and none of them were more than 6.5cm after 5 days. This one is 11cm after 3 days and it seems to be growing 1cm a day. It's quite a difference from her brothers/sisters.

Yes, it's the first time 12/12 but hopefully won't be the last one

The guy has a bit more experience than me with 12/12 jeje

Well, what I'm after with this first grow is to learn mostly, see how plants do in 12/12, how to LST, how to fit then in my small night-stand and pc box, how many nuts I should give them and so on. I know that I'll yield less than 30g (1oz) per plant and I'm ok with that. I'll know an approximation of the yield in a month or so because I'll harvest the plants I'm growing right now in the night-stand and pc box.

About the lighting, in the nightstand I'm using 63W CLF and in the pc box 31W CLF. I know I'm a bit short and I'm planning on adding more watts in a 2-5 month period but right now this is what I'm using to grow and this is what I'll use also for the 12/12.

Well its good that you are doing this for a learning exp.Good luck.

Thanks I'm really enjoying it.

I was feeling a little bit down because of that seed that died so I planted a new one before yesterday. I can see the root pooping up already so I guess It will open the cotyledons today or tomorrow

After tomorrow also will be the time to put the first two seeds in a 12/12 schedule. I still have to think what to do with the new one, maybe I'll put it under 12/12 as well or maybe leave 5 days under 24/0 like the other two. The clones still haven't show any sign of roots.

It's the first time I use a peat pellet to sprout a seed, I always do it directly in soil, but it looks real good, I may start using the peat pellets to sprout. Lets see how it goes

Here is a picture of them and the new seed:

The two first seeds are already in a 12/12 schedule and the clones haven't show any signals of roots, I guess some gel would have helped so I'm gonna have to be more patient. All of them are healthy. The tall seed is like 12cm (4.7in) so I had to tide it on a stick to keep it strait. The new seed looks a little bit weak and it has a dark green colour, does anybody know why could this be? I hope she can make it

cant wait to see which will yield more.

do u just pop that seed in a jiffy pellet or do u sprout in paper towel then jiffy pellet Thanks

I did it directly in the jiffy pellet, had to try them and they are not bad. Just made a small mistake. The plant was looking a bit weak and I realized that the root got out from the bottom (could be the reason). I've just transplant it to a pot. Next time I'll transplant it as soon as it shows the cotyledons (that was yesterday) or even a bit earlier.

Cool Thanks For The Info Im Gonna Try That Now

Here is an update on the plants:

DP18: still as tall as before, here you can see the support I put to keep it strait.



Thisi s the critical+. Looks perfectly fine



And this is the new one. Apart from the trouble with the root it seems fine now I'm glad it recovered, anyway you can still see that the tips of the first serrated leaves are gone. I'm putting this one in 12/12 today so all of them will be 12/12 from now on.




About the clones, still no sign of roots. I think they didn't have a good environment and also didn't use any hormones so just hopping they'll grow root at some point. Some leaves are starting to turn yellow/brown. Lets see what happens with them

lookin good homie! everything seems to be coming along nicely!

Hopefully those clones root.

I got the popcorn out.

Well, it's actually the second time I clone. First time last year, just one clone, at the end I had to give to a friend because I didn't have any way to grow indoor. It got quite sick but It grew healthy at the end Can't remember how long it took to root.

This time I thought I could grow them on my own small indoor, that'd be nice so as far as they are alive, I won't loose hope
