12/12 From seed to Harvest (1 oz Honies)

Well if you do 12/12 from seed, then the plant will veg for a few weeks then flower when it's ready and a 8 week strain will take 10-11 weeks on average. This is easily avoided by going 24/0 for about 10 days, then flip to flower. That'll make an 8 week strain finish in cloer to 8 weeks (plus the veg time)

no, my grow should end at week 9. so 2 weeks veg would = 10 week grow. But more yeld for the extra week.

I have data for seed grow entering 12/12 from day 1 day thru 14 days start

now this grow is about a week behind due to my out of town trip with MrsRocket at the helm on toned down to auto pilot.

Edit: Thanks for that nice rep.

My parade not wet at all.

it won't take more then:

1 week current formula
2 weeks on last formula

2 week h2o only. harvest can be at any time here. if you give the full 2 weeks it's best.

you can add apple juice the last few days instead of h2o

so this grow is over in 3 to 5 weeks.

thes look like little bud sights to me.

Its a common misconception that your plants go into flower as soon as you switch to 12/12. But this isn't true. If you do 12/12 from seed, the plant grows in a vegetative state for about 4-6 weeks until it is ready to flower. If you do it that way, an 8-week flowering strain will finish in about 10-12 weeks (veg plus flower).

This length can be avoided by growing your plants with a 24/0 or 18/6 light cycle for about 5-10 days (or even just until the heads break the soil) and then flipping to 12/12. This will make a 8-week strain finish in 9-10 weeks (veg plus flower)

mine only take 9 week, this grow will take 10 due to that trip at week 3.

as soon as they pop out of the groud I put them on 12/12.

so this grow is over in 3 to 5 weeks.

wait so you think your grow will be ready in 3-5 weeks from that picture? :confused: I only ask because in 3 weeks your buds shouldnt be anywhere near ready. but maybe i misread. just confused b/c it's common knowledge that it will take about 6 weeks from first bud site on your fastest budding genetics (auto dwarfs, top 44 etc..)

Once again, i hope i misread what you wrote, but if not, please dont chop those down in 3 weeks.
