I made my own soil for a 12/12 from seed grow recently. I had the same idea as you, little nitrogen since there is no veg time. I don't remember my exact recipe but I basically followed along the guidelines of supersoil, but went with about half the N based ingredients. My plants dropped all the fan leaves 4 weeks before they were ready to harvest. I would just follow the recipe man. Maybe 3/4 strength. It won't hurt them, they might just stretch a little more.

I also feel like my recipe was lacking nitrogen, I got a few plants in the room still pushing white hairs and big buds but the fan leaves and the bud leaves are all turning yellow... I think you still need a fair bit of nitrogen 12/12 from seed coze your plant will still veg for a while

On the plus side it makes for an easy trim job. The plant looked like it had already been trimmed a week before I cut it down.

  • [FONT=Tahoma, Calibri, Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif]i cracked seeds about a week ago kept them under CFL's in rapid rooters until yesterday. Yesterday i transplanted into solo cups w/ a mix of botanicare and coco croutons and perlite. Gave them 50PPM dyna-gro Grow and moved them under my 400 MH. My question is should i switch to a HPS right away or should i leave them under the MH for a couple weeks? This is my first 12-12 grow and also my first COCO grow, i have run Aero/NFT and Top drip/NFT before. I have a 1000HPS i will put them under once they get about a ft tall. Any help is much appreciated[/FONT]​

I like to keep plants under a blue spectrum light until they start to show their flowers to keep them from stretching too much early on in the grow. Once they begin to flower I introduce the red light. Also, there is no need for 1000 watts on such young plants. They wouldn't be able to use all the light created and you would just be wasting electricity and bulb life IMO. Using the MH until they are a little taller and more mature sounds like a solid plan to me. How many plants you running for this grow?

I cracked 20 seeds hoping I get good amount of females so I can pick and choose. Thinking I can run 8-10 under the 1000. Appreciate you elaborating and not just giving the use hps or mh. I will wait till they are about done stretching before I break out the 1000

Number of plants really depends on the pot size IMO. What size pots are you finishing the plants in?

You can def get more than 6 under a 1000. I would double it if you have the room. Remember, with 12/12fs you usually just get 1 giant cola for the most part. No need to worry about the buds at the bottom not getting enough light.

Atleast that's how the 3 Lemon Haze was and Purple haze is now anyway. Well, the PH is 3 long colas.
My Fruity Chronic Juice is fixing to be 1 big cola all the way up the main stem. Should be 18" long or so.

Good idea with the tubs. Stick as many plants as you can in those tubs, limit each plants side branching, and make sure you have plenty of ventilation. Good luck and keep us updated.
