The 12-12 From Seed Thread

I would add the fertilizer first then do the ph. Liquid ph down and up have been standard in hydro-ops for decades. If you add too much ph down do not try to fix it with liquid ph up. Get the ratio correct for the litres/gallons that your res is holding. A pump is used to mix the res. After it is mixed test it to be sure. When I first came on RIU I said I do 12/12 from seed and did I ever get ragged on. I see some very good results in a lot of the pics.

Has anyone grown and smoked RP's Strawberry Banana? Please don't just speculate about it if you haven't done either. Cheers.

Glad to see you back! hsf
Thanks Nameno, I'm not quite back yet, as I'm about $200 short of finalising my personal set up. I still need to get my seeds, medium and a couple of other things but once that's all purchased I'll be hitting the ground running.

Just out of curiosity, did Uruguay go ahead with their legalisation of Cannabis? I remember reading that it was going to take effect in April 2013.

I'm so lost I thought the strawberry banana was 1 plant,when you asked about it I thought"don't know about that taste".
I'm southeast US we want to legalize,we just got to get some money up to buy a politician & those with the power can
be costly.Yee-high we got the best gov ever sold!
edit:question,how many hours do you put on a hps bulb
before you change it out 600w? Anybody?

Real nice Bakatare, your plants seem to look better than your previous, did you change anything in your setup/technique?

I'm sorry bro, I don't remember you, but if you mean my last thread with 2 plants, Yes I did, these are under CFL's, no bugs and no heat.:hump:
If you mean my previous thread before that, No, I haven't really changed anything, except these are known strains, not just a bean I saved from some good smoke.
I still have the same bulbs, nutes and everything.
My growing method is kinda haphazard/ unorthodox, I'll admit.
I have a few diff. bottles, and mix/ match 'this n that' to come up with the NPK that I feel the gals want.
Actually, this indoor grow, I'm swapping the Alpha/ SFV, and the Diesel/ 2 BB plants from light box to dark box because I ran out of room.
At least when I went silly and started popping beans (afraid of what happens if all or most are males), I didn't veg 4 of them at all, and the Diesel only got 14 days.
Contrary to my usual luck, I got ALL ladies!:clap:

when did you top her? I just tried topping some as seedlings to see if they take better to it. The thing about 12/12 fs is they are all seeds!! they are all different so it's hard to compare different growing method since all seeds are different, even a very stabilized strain will still show lots of variation.
If I top I top at 15 days from seed

whats an average yield 12/12 f s?
Depends on the grower;).....container size is a factor.Some strains do better than others 12/12fs.
When I use 3ltr bottles with the top cutoff..I get between 1.5-2.5z per plant......I think the avg. for using a 5g bucket is about 3z.
Remember these are 12/1212fs numbers.I personally use cfls and cheap potting soil....sooo i would think that better lighting and soil could get better results..
 
Finally said fuck it and saved enough money to drop on a real grow room and new lighting, lol a lot better than my closet that would get up to 88 degrees on a daily bases. But I just got a 4x4x8 tent, carbon filter, 2 6" inline fans, blacked out ducting, CLW 400w solar storm LED panel, new pots/trimmers/microscope/temp gauges/ nutes/digital ph meter. Growing BBK, day 84. I'm close to the end of my first grow, and it was shitty until got this setup, ready for the next run. I have 16 new seeds planted right now, and will remain 12/12 from Start again :)
