12, 12 is da bomb. I cant wait. Not even one week? why not just one week?I am just going to put my tail between my legs and walk away. my girl is big and her roots are locked. I'm flushing...should have transplanted. My chrystals don't look like that. Not this time anyway. I nursed this pllant back for a buddy who lied about the genetics. Bubblicious? what do yall think. Not much smell. i got pictures on other places but can i move them to here if they were uploaded from a phone?

Depends on your pot size my friend
I'm going to try this style of growing due to space I don't want two tents but I want perpetual as well so my question is. How many plants would I be able to stick in a 4 x 2 x 4 tent?
more or less 14, .. start 4 regular seeds every 2 weeks.

more or less 4 seedlings, 4 young plants, 2 showing sex, 2 in mid bloom...2 that are near harvest

you can get a decent perpetual going in a small tent this size, the good thing,unlike conventional growers, is that your photons are almost always shining on plant matter 365 days a year, very efficient way to grow. I like to keep my solo cups in the large pots that have young plants so not so much of the light is being wasted on soil...

My number one advice if you guys are trying to yield well with 12/12 fs is to go with 5 gallon pots minimum and transplant super early (1-7days from popping out of the soil)

Also to run perpetual, you want to use beneficial insects, because soon or later you will have pests and if you want to keep it perpetual without spraying its the only solution. If you start with a sterile mix and have no pest whatsoever its good to start with at least an application of nematodes for thrips and fungus gnats.

Finally, I have grown perpetually for over 4 years without ever starting from scratch, nor bleaching the room or anything, I vacuum once in a while, clean the fans and stuff but the rooms always have plants, photons are never wasted.

I am generous tonight but if it wasnt for this thread, I might have never become such a seed and strain fanatic...

PEACE

I just cut a branche from a vegging plant to clone it, can I put this clone under 12/12 right away even if there is no roots yet? say it says 55days to harvest, can I count today as day 1 ? I assume it will probably take a little longer than 55days since there is no roots yet just wwondering if the plants is actually going to root under 12-12 thansk
lol that was my very first post in this thread, almost 5 years ago!!? lol I was such a fkin newbie !!!!

Can you link these studies? We know environment plays a big role in how a photo-period plant grows or more specifically how a "phenotype" responds to its environment but i dont think it gets to change its chromosomes given by its parents unless induced through stress which will increase the hermaphrodite trait in its offspring.
There is no increase in the hermaphrodite trait from further study I have found that some scientists think that hermaphrodite plants are not true xx females that they have x and y chromosomes or they could nit express male gametes

There are a million post how much time are we saving off of a cycle by doing this? Seems to be a cfl heavy trend. Does anyone do 12 12 with hps?

The only time that you save is your veg time. Cannabis will show their sex around week 4 to 5 but this doesn't mean they are flowering. The hormone florigen is what triggers the plant to go into full blown flower mode. The 12/12 light cycle is what induces the plant to produce this hormone.

Check this thread out too my friend. It shows some 12/12 results with minimal grow containers.
