The 12-12 From Seed Thread

12/12 from seed is always a fun and fast way to grow, but I would suggest that for the first 3 weeks of growth you keep the plants under 18/6 because the plant does not actually start to produce bud until it has enough stable vegetative growth to carry those buds. It will allow the process to be even faster and may also help with yield.
This is what I would personally do if I ever wanted a fast flower from seed regiment, for the exact reasons you stated.

But I am very fond of the idea of 12/12 from seed, so I appreciate browsing through this thread (:

12/12 FROM SEED most of us begin to flower in about 3 weeks +/-....and the plant is done in i've heard of 10 weeks but for me usually 12-14 weeks from seed to harvest with sat dom

Now if you 18/6 for 3 weeks then it will be at least 14 weeks till harvest soooo that kinda defeats the purpose of a quick harvest AND A PERPETUAL 12/12 GROW!!!peace

Some people do that, but that isn't 12/12 from seed!

My first 12x12 fs was 4 blueberry in 1, 5gl bubbleponics 7wks at the most it
was done,got 4ozs of bud total,I been screwing up ever since.There has been some good ones it's mainly the summer months that get tough for me.It's been easy just leave it 12x12fs,this time I have tried vegging 3wks,2wks,&1wks,I'll see what the outcome is so far I like 12x12fs best.I think I do best following directions seems like the more I think I know the worse I do.

Hi guys!

Awesome to see so many people give the 12/12 direct from seed method a try!

It is a wonderful method for easy growing. However, there are still a few things that growers do wrong when growing 12/12 from seed.

With this method the first few weeks as well as the germination stage are crucial to get a decent yield. It is important to germinate directly in the soil and to use a medium to large volume container. There have been yield results up to 100g / 4 ounces in a 11l container. Some tips on the 12/12 method: hgcacademy.com/node/10

It is a very beneficial method when setting up a perpetual growing system. I’d recommend it to all home-growers! Resist the temptation to veg under 18 hrs of light, even for one day!

Grtz!

You must spot the Mildew in an early stage. Also, try to identify the cause. First use a milk water solution, rub it on the entire plant (all the leaves!). Next, UVc radiate when the milk has dried up. The milk will leave a protective barrier on the leave surface. If you don't like to mess around with milk, try neem oil.
You'll have to radiate daily with the UV, very important! And you'll have to keep it up even when you think the Mildew has gone away. We've tested this on many strains that are sensitive to mildew. Human error is the most common cause of this failing.

I sprayed every 4-4 days with the milk,bi carb, oil and soap.
Gave up in the end and chopped early
