To late the lady boy is no more, if i had a hermi problem with a larger plant or seeds that i had bought i might of looked into trying the reverse but the seeds i was running 12-12 with were given to me so nothing really lost i've still got 10 females well into flower so i won't be running short xmas time cheers anyway Bill
HELP NEEDED!!!
So im about to start my 12/12 lighting, i wanted to know if i should start while my seeds are in the propagation period? The seeds have started rooting and are about to pop the seed shell. My local hydro store said start a 18/6 cycle although i wanted to do 12/12 through out.
So the question is, can i start 12/12 from now or wait til i have put them into my flood and drain system? (im using 125 envirolight for propagation then switching to 600 when in veg and flowering 12/12)
Thanks

How many grows have you completed with Air Pots. They are a scientifically sound idea. Thinking of getting some even though my method is HPA.

How do you like your results for HPA? I have recently started reading about them but am not sure if they are worth the investment. Does your system get loud/noisy?

Quick question. Some of my girls r yellowing pretty bad but new growth us always green and buds look lush. nutes r good since new growth is good right? Could just be cause I use 1g pots?

1g pots are for small small plants. Put up a pic and id be more than happy to put in my comment.

HPA is extremely tweaky. It has taken me 4 grows to get close, and now in my 5th I made mistakes with wet cycles being too short during early veg from seed that have stymied my plants (the small root systems need more frequent/longer wet cycles to feed the large plant leaves. DOH! They look more like Bonsai's. I moved them into a F&D set up using lava rock and hydroton. One that I thought would die I moved to a soil-less mix about 10 days ago and put it under my UFO 90 which I use for my edible herbs. Damn thing has developed huge leaves, so I moved it back under my 8 bulb T 5 HO Bad Boy so it can start stretching.
In 24 hours the plants I moved to F&D have already started a growth spurt that I had not seen in the 4 days prior to moving them, after I had dialed in the wet cycle. I started 4 more seeds a week ago already and moved them into the HPA pod as they already have nice root development, so I think I conquered a demon, and am finally on the right track.
Anyway, I think I have it down now. Running a journal on another site. FYI I do not use an accumulator which takes tweaky to a whole 'nother level.

Do you use a pressured pump? I would like to make the switch sooner or later, or just start it on the side of my NFT and aeroponic setup, but I'm worried about the noise. How loud does it get? My downstairs neighbor has a very keen ear for the slightest of vibrations. I use full LED's. Much more civilized in my opinion

Reading through this long ass thread, it is clear there is a ton of interest, and it can be done, but why? Wouldn't 7-14 days of veg then switch to 12/12 allow for a much bigger plant? Im' just sayin.
Also this seem ideal for using 1G Air Pots as the 12/12 root system will not develop much beyond what 1G APs can easily handle. Plus APs should give the roots the environment they need to maximize growth and yield. I have no affiliation to AP, but have been reading up over the weekend. I went to 3 Nurserys over the weekend. Amazingly, none is selling them

are air pots the funky looking one with cylinder like pieces coming off? or are you referring to the flexible cloth like pot that plants roots "breath" better with?
