The 12-12 From Seed Thread

[Bluejeans]

I figured the 1 gals were too small to be of any use, these fabric pots aren't really something I want to be transplanting out of. I'll simply stick to what has been successful for me in the past. The last one I did took about 100 days, but I started them from seed outdoors and simply left them in the plastic 1 gals after one transplant. However, the root ball upon chop was almost beginning the circular bound pattern so I was pushing it. Wish I had bought bigger smart pots though b/c I've been wanting to try them.

You CAN grow all the way out in 1 gallon SmartPots. There's a thread on here where a guy has done nearly a full grow in Solo cups. The 1 gallon SmartPots will actually accomodate more than a 1 gal plastic pot (from what I've been reading) and the air pruning allows you to have more roots without circling. You will need to be very careful about giving them enough water and nutes in a smaller container, but it can be done. I'm LOVING my 3 gal pots. I can smush them in however I want. LOL.

Looking good, only your containers seem smallish. I used 1 gals on the last 12/12 and wished I had gone larger.

i have some in 2+ gal pots in there, i use different pot sizes to see the differences in plants

I'm in 1 gallon airpots... Wish I had gone smaller.. My one girl is over 4 foot and the other is just under.
Like billy says you can grow trees in small pots.. Just need to water more often..

Be careful of the fabric pots.. Avoid moving them around too much, the fabric movement can tear the root fibres.

i agree, my g13 haze is in a 6.5l and is just under 4ft currently, with more height definately coming, the light needs to be raised every other day due to it. I like trying plants out in different pot sizes shows what works best with 12/12 for me, so i know what plants and pots to use when i do 12/12 again in the future

i use airpots and smartpots..both work really great. check out my 12/12 thread in my sig if you would like a closer peek. I dont get tears in my smart pots.. best girl for me now , the biggest bubblebomb is in a cut in half airpot. I will prob be using only airpots in the future because of the results i have gotten with this monster plant. i think they are i think its a 2 gallon airpot cut in half.
im looking foward to all the 12/12 from seed rocks contest entries .. 2 more dayz. good luck everyone!

 

[mantiszn]

not a tear in the pot itself.. the root fibres grow into the material apparently, i've heard a lot of people say that too much movement of the pots will cause the root fibres damage, as they get pulled and moved around when you move the pot. never used 'em myself though..

man.. i need to get on top of these photo's.. will try get them done either tomorrow or thursday.. when is the cut off time on thursday.. considering we all live in different time zones etc.. been waiting until the last minute so they are plump as possible

your card will be off in the mail tomorrow ambs hopefully get there in time for crimbo

haha, i just saw your sig manz..fur sur fur sur it is.. sometimes i wish this planet would just blow the fuck up.. lol..all the regulations that are being placed on us these dayz is mighty scary shit..
i will be looking foward to getting the card in the mail anytime it makes it will be cool with me...its always so sweet to get something real from my riu friends.

yeah the roots stick out on those smart pots . I was informed that its ok cuz its signals to the inside roots to grow more. They are really pretty cool. Its neat to be able to feel the water move through them. Im not so sure about reusing them though.. once the roots grow threw i heard you just gotz to chuck em and that they cant be reused . so that can get kinda expensive.
good luck with your photoshoot. Have fun.

What I *heard* although haven't tried it myself...is you can wash the smart pots in the washing machine on delicate and dry them in the dryer on low heat. This will effectively kill any left over root particles. I am on Use #1 of my pots so I dunno if I trust that or not. I might give it a try, running them through the machines and then see how they fare. Aurora Root Pots are the same thing as SmartPots for about 1/2 the price. That's what I use...

I can't use them, forgot about that problem on my end. During Winter months, I have to move my plants from the sun room to artificial lighting daily. I'll have to stick with the plastic, am germinating some jackberry kush for the project.

 

[brokenturtle3102]

Just popped in 9 jack the ripper seeds and 1 Blue Hash in my humidity dome. I will be going 12/12 with them. Ill put up pics when they are like 30 days in.

[Bluejeans]

Nice pics! They look different ages. How long they been going 12/12?

 

[Kratose]

To the OP. Those are some nice girls you had there back on page 1. Especially since you went 12/12 from seed. Very impressed. +Rep for that.



Everyone come on bye and show my blog some love. Its a new blog all about Cannabis. Leave a comment and let me know what you think. Link to the blog is in my signature.

 

[weedmastatx]

Thanks they are four, five and six weeks old. The oldest is the og#18 then lemon and Bubba.

I have a few more behind those as well I trying to get perpetual thing going but they ain't worth showing yet.

Hey Del I hope you dont mind my post. Thank you in advance.

I've been growing this baby since nov 1st(Top skunk 44). Had a couple of other seeds not make it out of the dirt. I am using 50/50 MG Organic and promix potting soils. I have 8cfl's on her right now a mix of 6500k, 5000k, and 2700k. She has been growing super slow compared to all the other plants i've seen on here. I just transplanted in to a 2gal pot. She showed sex about 1 week ago. She has been on 12/12 from the very beginning. I used MG all purpose plant food for about two feeds before she showed sex, then swithed over to Jacks classic bloom booster 10-30-20.
I have one new seedling(California Orange) growing in a peat pellet in a 1 1/2 liter pot, and a new seed(Juicy Fruit) germinating in a peat pellet in another 1 1/2 pot with a ziploc bag over it.

So i've basically been bumbling along and got lucky with the one lady growing slowly but surely. I have been scanning all kinds of journals on here getting info for my grow and just don't want to lose my girl this far in; so reaching out for some guidance. Heres pix of my set up and pix of my little lady.
Please give me some help.

NIce, let me know how you like the OG #18. I grew the OG kush before but never got the grow the #18. Basically the same strain just different pheno. When I grew the OG it was some bomb as bud but didn't yield big.
But its worth it for the good smoke. http://cannabis-country.blogspot.com/2011/11/police-raid-high-times-cannabis-cup.html <----- For anyone who has not heard about the Cannabis Cup Raid. Or for anyone who hasn't read a story on it.
