Hi there and greetings from Greece.I had see a video on youtube with some mini plants about 25-30cm and it was only one cola about 10-15g.At the comments the uploader says that if you have the seed from germination for 5 days 24/24 light and after that you go 12 hours of light you will take this result.Is this true?Or is there any other way to do that?Thanks

hey pystep you can do a 12-12 straight from seed and but they can sometimes grow quite large so you do some LST(Low stress training) that will keep the height down. Another option you can try is an autoflower they are quite compact my first grow was an auto hindu kush with a 400w hps I didn't train the plant at all and it was a large plant for an auto it reached 17 inches and yielded 52g's...Hope that helps dude someone with a bit more experience with 12-12 might have an idea on how to keep one below the 12 inch mark...

So the best solution is the LST maybe.I am thinking to grow my baby in a pc box with 150watt cfl and 3 fans hope that I will succed.
I just see something about lollipopping and it shows good about the yield.But can I lollipopping a plant that it have LST?

I'm trying to fill out my closet to finally get a bunch of plants running for one big harvest. Reason being, I am moving out of this house in 3 months from tomorrow. I was wondering if anyone has experience with any of these strains with 12/12 from seed. I'm buying from local seedbanks so selection is sort of limited, there still seems to be lots of great stuff. Here's the shop i'm going to, they actually have a lot of stuff - http://www.sacredseed.com/?q=node/4
I've never done 12/12 from seed before. How long is the full growth period compared to the flowering time? Will an 8 week flowering plant literally go from seedling to harvest in 8 weeks, or will there be 2 or 3 weeks of forced veg time no matter the time cycle?

Plant will flower once it is mature enough.. Usually 2-3 weeks.. It will finish when it is ready.. I usually don't pay much attention to how many weeks the breeder says.. Genes will usually give you an idea to how long it will take.. Indica usually finish sooner than sativa..

Here's a quick question for ye..They say that a plant flowered under a HPS and MH bulb combined will do a lot better than just a HPS on its own as the MH provides a blue spectrum resultung in a different bud structure...Now I haven't the room for a second lamp but was thinking if I added some blue spectrum CFL's for side lighting its a double plus do ye think this will work??

side lighting will always hep growth and structure mate combined with a hps ..it never hurts to add more mate

Yes that is true adding CFL's is always a plus but with CFL's you have 2 spectrum's 6500K spectrum--Used for vegging with a white and blue spectrum and you have the 2700k for flowering with a orange yellow spectrum....
Now what I was wondering is that if you used the 6500K instead of the MH bulb to give that blue spectrum will the results be simmilar, I think it will work with some good results but i don't have to grows to compare them against...Looks like I have a new experiment to try out

I don't mean to troll at all, but this is not fully correct. Make sure all lights are hitting the plants from the top. When people try to add side lighting, they tend to get too excited and put lights emitting from underneath the plant. Light from under a plant is not only useless, but it also puts stress on the stomata regulations of the plant. It may stunt the exchange of co2 and o2.
Also, who ever said mh and hps are better than hps is totally right. That is just more light! Don't worry about mixing spectrums of light much. If you have a small area, do it since the penetration might be useful, but if it's anywhere bigger than 4x4 area sid lighting will only make growing more tidious for you. Just get a strong light. Get it as high wattage as you can if you want the best results.
