I'd like to start following this thread. I've been doing 12/12 from seed for lack of a veg room. Here's my Vanilla Kush fem 5 weeks from seed. I topped it at three weeks and trimmed all the bottom branches off a few days ago. It's in Canna coco and I'm feeding Canna A-B 1/4 TO 1/2 strength every watering. So far so good its a few feet high and it stinks lol. It does have fem pre flowers. Its under a 400 watt hps.

Hi I'm new here and I like this method so I'm giving it a try since yield is not the #1 goal here...I've grown a little indoors, but mostly outdoor monster plants.

I have Northern Lights Special, Diesel Lowryder, and Sweet Dreams growing. After 2nd week the non-autos (NLS and Sweet Dreams) will go to 12/12. Hoping to get an OZ per plant, in organic soil (says feeds plants for 3 straight months) and I may add a tiny bit of liquid bloom nutes later on. Size of space is around 3 feet deep 5 feet long, but I'll be upgrading the size of the area soon once the plants are started. 250 watt HPS, 100 watts of CFL and another 168 watts of cfl (says it's equal to 600 watts though).

I'll let them go to seed, probably with a male Diesel Lowryder and females of all 3. Any other males will just be culled I guess. And Probably the next harvest I'll add 1 or 2 600 watt electronic HPS/MH lights (the kind where it will automatically detect which bulb is running).

I'm guessing the resulting cross will be a short stout autoflower strain? And maybe some will not autoflower.

Made a experimental heat pad for germinating seeds (40 watt heat pad with a 5 to 50'c thermostat)
Tested it on some bag seed.
5 out of 6 germed.

I stuck them straight into my flowering room thanks to this fascinating thread as an experiment.

Thanks guys, love the inspiration :)

I germ mine in jiffy pellets in two roasting trays, one on top of the other near a radiator. Nothing fancy at all and I get 99.9% success rate

I germ my seeds in paper towel in a tupperware box wrapped in a towel for darkness on top of my Sky box lol, it gets 24C there and 90% success usually but my last 2 AK48 didn't germ, also my last seed order didn't arrive normal 1st class post so I'm stuck now with no beans, I live on an island so it's hard to get them in......

many many ways to germ i have germed in water
in paper towels till crack then to cup
in cd case till seedlings standing on edge so tap goes straight down
in dirt from the beginning

i always use a heat pad and controller
with a ziplock for humidity

but i have a question for th 12/12 from seed gang
how long does it tak at 12/12 from seed to see pre show
how long for plant to think it is supposed to flower
a month would be my guess but i never tried it

i would think those questions to be strain specific also enviromental issues would play a role im guessing, but hey im just a hick gardener off a reservation not an expert like some here lol!

​Still no sign of the Phantom Cookies yet and the Blue Lemon Thai couldnt shed its husk so Iv`e helped it along a little but maybe too late, The Orange Bud was transplanted today into an 6 litre pot and its her 1st day of flower.
