12/12 From Seed Experiment - 21 Strains

[Hot Diggity Sog]

It was seeded trim. I removed the seeds from the flowers, which had gone too long to be any good. Apparently there were a few viable seeds I missed. The point was that several small plants become several big plants very quickly!

This was the other one:

Now I understand. Why did you end up killing them all?

 

[Mohican]

I only want to keep the unique specimens. 99% of them were the same. The smell on the stem rub was blah and the structure was too spindly.

I kept one beefy leafy girl I call Rebar and one of the better smelling 99% I call BigK.

Most of the plants I pulled were male also. I went crazy one day just pulling males without smelling them first. I ended up yanking a male that smelled like cantaloupe!

I still have all of the seeds I harvested (minus some I gifted) so I can always hunt for it again.



Cheers,
Mo

I have a question about going immediately to 12/12 from seed.Do you skip the grow notes and give bloom,or what's up with the nuts regimen.If you already answered this i apologize.thanks

I do not skip the veg nutes. I use the veg nutes until I see pistols and then I begin the flowering regiment.

Gotcha cool thanks

Chapter 2: Day 25 Update
The girls are growing but slowly. I'm starting to get a little nervous as they seem to be a little behind schedule. I watered and fed the usual 5 gallons of water this morning. Today's feeding consisted of 100% of the seedling schedule but no Cal Mag. I always PH the water going in but today I tested the run-off and it was in the low 6's so I feel great about that. I got about 2 gallons worth of run-off despite not watering for 2 1/2 days.

Haha..yeah. It's about to turn into a jungle soon I imagine

Makes it easy to see the special ones! Lightly rub the stems and see if you can smell their scent. I smell my fingers first just to make sure they don't smell like soap or fish fertilizer

Just the other day I noticed that when I rubbed my fingers together after a stem rub, more and more new scents were released.

When I was at the LA Cup they were giving out dabs at the TGA booth and I asked for a sand grain sized piece and rubbed it between my fingers for 30 minutes. It just kept smelling better and better! Started out very normal dab extract smelling and then it just bloomed into a candy fruity smell with more and more layers.

Chapter 2: Day 28 Update
Things are progressing but still pretty slowly. I think I went from starving them to over-feeding them. I ended up flushing 12 gallons of PH'd water thru yesterday and will give a lite feed tonight. Probably back tracking to 1/2 or 2/3rds of the seedling schedule.

I have had the absolute worst luck with light bulbs...my fancy Metal halide died a couple of weeks ago. Got a replacement in the mail 2 days ago dead on arrival. 2 days ago I decided to just put in my nice HPS bulb instead of the cheapo MH I was using in the interim. My HPS lasted all of 2 days. Went down today and dead.

Called around and found a local shop where I can buy the Hortilux blue so I'm off to go get one. I'm done buying bulbs online.

Damn Diggity

Fucking gorgeous dude. Hope it works out for you.

Yeah I hear you about buying bulbs online my lights/bulbs/electronics get bought local, it costs me twice as much probably but I had a ballast fail and was in and out of the store with a brand new ballast and no cash spent in 15 minutes. Wasn't even down for 24 hours. It's worth the extra expense for sure. All my bulbs even the cheapies have a 1 year warranty too.

Looking right as rain

Don't suppose you know how many days it took to see the 1st pistol?

Reason I ask is these girls are behind schedule. According to my 1st chapter, they are set to show pistols in 5 days. One of 2 things is going to happen. They are going to show pistols in 5 days and possibly be runts which is gunna absolutely suck. Or, they wont show pistols until longer and they will end up being just fine. Ive seen a few CFL 12/12fs journals on here where the girls are in full flower at 2 inches tall and 3 sets of leaves which terrifies me.

 

[Mr.Head]

Looks like they are about to start taking off to me, I bet the growth speeds up over the next week, maybe 10 days before pistils bet they will be close to doubled in size by then? noticed you said you had some feeding issues, maybe that slowed em up a bit. I wouldn't think you'd be having space concerns in that tub for a few more weeks yet.

I really hope they don't flower on you this soon.

On a side note, I'm trying fimming right around the stage you're at now, to see if I can get 4 tops without slowing em down too much.

Wow, I will like to see the results of that!
