I'm alot happier del boy. Thot with all the shit I put them through they would never be as good. I checked this morning and all the leafs were pointing to the sky and the smell.........well as Don said, Tropical Punch, not any specific kind of fruit, just tropical. lol

Spent a good part of yesterday mooching about in the loft, had taster of rocklock which is nearly done and although it was speed dried and didn't taste very good the stone was v good and when I'm mashed i have these ideas pop into my head from nowhere hence my visit to the loft. I was going through my grow gear, got shit load up here and was after my two air cooled hoods and ballasts. Had this idea of a 12/12 from seed grow and after the first spliff of the day and a brew i thought fuck it Ive got most the gear i need to do it all i need is the seeds and a tent. I'm planning on using my NFT tray with 6.5ltr pots drip fed run to waste system, i can get 36 pots on this tray and with 2 600w air cooled lights should do well on a SOG 12/12 from seed grow. Going with pots as as this is a seed grow and not clone at least i can re arrange the pots to take into account the different phenos you get with seed, taller plants at the back smaller i the middle. With the right strain this should be a good grow, planning on starting in autumn as i don't fancy running two 600w coming into summer with what I'm already running. Not gonna do a diary just gonna dump pics on this thread.

hey del, beautiful job on the girls, they look quite potent ;) lol but due to space and money i been using cfl's, and im really thinking about trying 12/12 from seed, so would i basically treat the plant like its in flowering from germinating? and mostly 2700k and a few 6500k is best?

cheers mate........no you have to treat it as veg until you see signs of flowering, save 2700 for flower or use a mix of colour through veg and bloom, use veg nutes til you see flowers too....what you growing, what cfls you got, as in size? how big is the space you got?

well i have always bought 5 or 10 pack seeds and thats ok if you are doing larger grows to earn some cash, now i only grow for me really and i want to try as many different strains as possible before i leave this planet ( im moving in with E.T. ..................so now jimmy has mentioned his 37 strains, maybe dats the way to go....single seeds...8-10 different strains on the go means something different to smoke every week............and maybe concentrate on improving and breeding more bubblebomb .... would like to get cloning too...and...........ah fuck it, anyone got a field to rent with a big poly tunnel on it.

Yes, a strain a week is what I'm planing. In the time Ive been doing this Ive probably only done (rough guess) 30 or so strains cant see being more than that stuck to the usual Northern lights,White widow,blueberry,Skunk#1,Big bud etc. I would find a good keeper, mother it and clone the fuck outta it and kept same mothers for years. Now I'm growing in cabinets 12/12 from seed is the way to go and ideal for multi strain growing. Prob use my main cab for strains that i know work and yield well in a sog 12/12 10 x grapefruits or something along those lines and my two smaller cabs for my multi strain growing. That's the plan anyhow.

i think that sounds like a fine plan mate, so many to try out there.............

These rocklock have some fat arse colas del, for a 12/12 from seed they aint bad might wanna do a bit LST on them mate when you do these babies cause they will over take your cab. Cant get these in regs tho which is a shame.

Nice choice, got 5 of them on my list. Swiss cheese is a goodun 12/12 from what i hear, you had a bash at any of these before?
the only one ive done is ultra skunk, only used enviros and a couple of 70 watt hps in cab, great plant even in those conditions, fat cola, sticky, dark, easy to grow, hates lst....all my choices are 7-10 flowering and mostly fat cola types.....big genetics.
