The 12-12 From Seed Thread

[B166ER420]

Pics help a lot.....but if you have a set of five fingered leaves,you can start feeding veg nutes at half the recommended strength.When she starts to flower you can use your flowering nutes,maybe even wait a week after first pistils for flower nutes.GL

 

[shadyslater]

I was just wondering how long until you give first feed of nutrients as i'm currently 2 weeks from seed using a 250w HPS? Do you use veg nutrients or just bloom?

Thanks

as bigger said pics would help but i tent to wait til lower leaves start to show a lil nitrogen (get pale) def then feed matey....
on your bag of dirt it should say rounghly how long it'll feed for. mine says 4 but i normally get 3 weeks

I have decided it is time to join the fun.
I had to remove a male from the grow tent, so I suddenly had space... 12/12FS here I come!!

Lemon Kush (fem) x2
Germ'd in Vermiculite (for the hell of it)
Nothing special Nutes as needed.
Will transplant into soil.

They are in with my White Widows as they flower. There is lots of time left in the WW grow so space will become an issue at some point. I am still deciding how I will be dealing with that. I have the tent set up to LST easily so i will be doing that.

Warrior,when you get 1 with 1 straight up what kind of yield do you get?
You were talking about growing 1 main straight up the top with no side branches,
what yield do you get?

Sorry bro,,,been super busy at work! I average about about an ounce maybe just under.....however I'm only running a 250W HPS 12\12 FS....No offense to anyone....but most of these yield numbers you get here are about as solid as a soup sandwich! Honest to god, I do well in 12\12FS with a 250W and get just under an ounce......there have been a few 3zip plants, and 1 4zip'er.....but if you keep your expectations real, and achievable..its possible to average well....but you have to use every lumen!
Give it a shot....you will love the variety and quicker harvest time...
I run TRUE 12\12 FS.....the only light my plants ever see is my 250W HPS on 12\12....from seed popping right till harvest!!
Del was\is the master...go back and read this whole thread, more importantly, his technique....I did when I started, and it cut out alot of frustration and mediocrity! Still learning every day bro...it never stops! Good luck!

IF one of your strains is not really doing much and seems to be stuck would you just throw her back in the vege tent or keep her flowering? I have some that are 12 inches and some that are 3 inches im worried.

Some strains just don't take well to 12/12 from seed....how old are the strains that don't seem to be doing well?

GSC x Snow Dream seeds that I made, they are 15 days old today. I will try to get some pictures up. Some are starting to show their pistils already and others look like they need a few more weeks before they even start.

Glad you are doing well with 12x12 I been doing it a few years now,I started reading not long after Del started the thread,I love it.
I just never had 1 grow 1 straight branch all of mine have bushed out pretty good having yields about like yours.My light is a 600 but runs the same 12x12fs that yours does. I used to grow in soil but I crashed my sled and find it easier to grow hydro.Sometimes I grow 1 - 8 at the time,I find that 8 is more work than I want to do.There is something to learn everyday for me.

GG&HY To Ya!

 

[loquacious]

New grow, 600 watt, 23 plants, 12/12 from seed (link in my signature)!

 

[thatsmessedup]

^^ 23 plants 12/12 with a 600?? good luck with that.

 

[Thecouchlock]

Dude you can have 23 colas under a 600 no problem, just gotta keep them tight.

 

[loquacious]

^^ 23 plants 12/12 with a 600?? good luck with that.

They are doing great and I am going to probably lollipop them. Check out the grow.

 

[Serial Violator]

New lot in and have sprouted,this time round I haver kiwi skunk, exo cheese, big bomb, White Russian and Pineapple Express. Changes nutes from canna to advanced nutes so we'll see how that goes.

 

[Serial Violator]

And bubblegummer. Anyone used advanced nutes got any advice about using the stuff??

 

[Serial Violator]

Anybody seen these in action or know anything about them, if they work or not??








Minimax 150 (WEEE)









This is a great step for lighting in hydroponics and horticulture. The MINIMAX 150 operates with either Metal Halide (blue vegetative) or, High Pressure Sodium bulbs (red flowering). Test results have shown that two Minimax 150 units produce larger yields than any one 600w Digital unit. The 600w Digi ballast is rated at 2.75amp whereas the Minimax 150 is rated at 0.64amp. In real terms you could run five Minimax 150 units for the same power consumption as one 600w digital unit.


The Minimax 150 is programmed to soft start. No need for the usual initial start-up power surge to ignite the bulb. This will extend bulb life and allows for several units to start at the same time, without a large draw on power.
The Minimax Lighting Kit comes complete with ballast, reflector, HPS Multi-Spectrum lamp and to top it all off the Minimax 150 Ballast carries a full three year guarantee. Highly Recommended!

The bubblegummer stops stretching after week 2... loves LST.

 

[zamzia]

I popped 5 big bomb seeds then proceeded to let them dry up two days after the tap root broke through One has survived and I'll have it transplanted into the flower room this Saturday. I've got some bubblegummer in my ez cloner at the moment. Might chuck those in too once roots appear?!

There is so many pages so I am sorry if this has been asked but I plan on doing the same type of grow in a 2x4x4 with either a 400 or 600w and wondering if I use MH until preflowers show and still run the 12/12 cycle then swap to hps or hps full way from seed to finish. Thanks a bunch.

 

[nummy]

I started this NL on 12/12 from seed last week n July. I made the mistake of topping her multiple times. Idk exactly how long she has been flowering but she seems to have stopped progressing at all. Is there anything I can do to help her continue flowering, and fast??? Am I concerned for no reason? How much longer of flowering do u think she still has b4 harvest? Thank u for all ur help!
