The 12-12 From Seed Thread

[numberfour]

You ever done any chem strain I got a bag for a buddy a while ago and pulled close go 100 or more seeds I think this would be perfect to do with them as well is there any trick to keeping it one solid bud other than chopping side chutes any thing helps love your thread and 12/12 sounds interesting not having all the wasted time in veg

I've flowered a few strains from GreenPointSeeds (in this thread) the male the use is StarDawg (Chem4 x TresDawg) more reading here https://greenpointseeds.com/stardawg-chemdog-4-tres-dawg/

Its purely genetics and luck, I don't remove any side branching just lower fan leaves. I've popped a few seeds and get large tops but this is the closet to what you're describing

Your're looking around 4 months for most strains, I've had some finish a lot sooner thou. Good luck with you're seeds and post some pics when their flowering.

Fun thread, ive always liked the idea and bud pics of 12/12 from seed and have been meaning to try it out.

Got a pile of freebie seeds from last few orders and a light with nothing under it.

Had a couple questions.

Ill be using a 315 cmh, says it covers 2.5x2.5 , personally i think its closer to 2x2.5 max coverage. Im going to use coco and perilite and Ill be using a flood table and either drip DTW or ebb and flow once they are big enough.

How many plants from seed will max out that space?
What is everyones preference on up potting? you going from solos/starting pots directly to finishing pots? .5g? 1g?

Gonna head to the seed stash, see how many i got available to get wet

This is a 2 x 3 with 24 plants in 1.5ltrs of soil (not all plants in the pic)

This is as maxed out as I could get in that space using LED strips which covered the footprint of the tent. Plants were not 1212 from seed, they were flipped at 2 nodes high. These were sexed in .75ltr pots then the females potted up. Males were kept in same size pots in a different space.

One thing I did and would advise is to put plant pots in the space and see what it looks like. I pack pot to pot, this encourages a totem like growth with little to none side branching. @Opie1971 does a fantastic job of topping plants and potting up in larger pots with his 1212 from seed.

Good luck and post up you're results

 

[diggs99]

Thanks ,

I might toss 16 in coco , all the freebies I have here are fems

I have a light running in my room with nothing under it, just needing the heat, so figure what the heck, 12/12 from seed sounds fun, use the light for more than heat lol

Does opie have a thread or journal going ?

I'll prob go back 100 pages or so in this thread and start reading, earlier than that and the pics are mostly inactive

Thanks for the response bud, appreciate it

 

[Opie1971]

I don’t have a journal on 12/12 specifically, but I do have several pics throughout this thread.
A lot of times I’ll let my plants grow out 5 or 6 nodes, even if they’re fems, then cut off everything except the bottom 2 nodes, leaving 4 branches. The end result is something like this Cinderella 99, 12/12 from seed.

I’d show ya more pics, but I don’t have them on this phone. There should be several of mine and @numberfour in the last 3 or 4 pages.
I think you’ll be surprised at how well you can do with this method.

 

[diggs99]

Nice plant, ya I like this style, it seems like it would be fun lol... no point having empty space under a running light, so this seems like a good idea.

So when you cut it down to 2 nodes, do you do anymore cutting or stripping through its life?

Or do you just let them go after the initial toppping down to 2 nodes?

I'm gonna head back into this thread, have a look at some pics and do some reading

Appreciate the responses

 

[Opie1971]

No. The only other thing that I might do is tie each branch down, I use bread ties to pull each one over, just make sure that you don’t tighten them around the branches, as they will need the room. And you can maybe take off a couple of fan leaves in the center to let more light in, but not many.
It’s surprising how much more a plant will grow after it’s shown sex. The Cinderella plant above only took up about 1sq.ft.
I have a 4x4 tent, I’m just now starting a perpetual, I’m gonna plant 1 seed a week, every week, and in about 12 weeks, I can start harvesting 1 plant every week. I may start a journal for this.
Good luck brother, if ya got any questions, just holler, numberfour and I will be around somewhere.

Im in... I've got a lot of fem seeds to use... Ill do 2 different USEFUL strains... Im gonna go back and read some more of this thread as well... Seems easier than learning how to make seeds...

Ok great info, thanks Opie.

As of now im gonna keep the 315 hung, i honestly think max coverage is 2.5x2.5 ( not even sure if its that much) So thats only 6 plants at 1 per ft2.

Maybe ill replace the 315 with the 600w Hps lol. throw a few more under that and get good coverage for sure. Probably 10-12 plants?


I love your idea of a plant a week, that would be very fun to watch.

I think you could squeeze 9 under a 315, that’s just going from what I’ve heard about them though, I almost bought one but went with 2 260 HGL Quantum Boards.

I’m gonna be growing some S1 Cinderella 99’s for the perpetual.

I love my 315, i almost flled my new room with them, ended up going with 1440 watts of cutter strip leds , 3 fixtures, 480w each, each covering a 3x4 table, But i was having issues keeping temps up in the room, so i hung the 315 and let it rip, it has nothing under it , just giving me much needed heat help.

So i figure thats pretty silly, light running with no plants lol, 12/12 from seed sounds fun, lets put the light to use.


Cinderella 99, always a fan favorite, ive never grown it, have smoked a few variations of it over the years tho, always enjoyed it.

this is what i got to choose from for 12/12 from seed

Space cookies
Atomic x2
Kush X skunk x3
Kushy kush x3
Cheese x3
Blueberry x5
Jack herer x6

I also have some wedding cake, gg#4 and goriilla zkittles, but am planning to search for a couple moms out of those beans, to Keep the 3 tables running from clone.

 

[Opie1971]

Sounds like you have plenty of light and plenty of good beans to keep you busy. Keep us updated.

Suggest not topping if you’re going wall to wall for the first time.
