The 12-12 From Seed Thread

Personally the difference between 12-12, 18-6 or 24-0 for the first 2 weeks for me, in coco, is negligible. And like supchaka says I can have different plants at different stages without any worry of changing schedules.
 
It seems to me that roots grow more during the night time, and in my head more roots = more fruits, so I don't ever run 24 hours light. Plus I don't like spending the extra on electricity, especially when I feel like it isn't doing anything.
 
I'm about to start a 12/12 from seed grow.

I'm growing 2 plants, burmese kush and sage n sour. One is going to be DWC and the other is soil, I haven't decided which one is going where yet. Also, I'm really excited because I just got a new inline fan and it has kept my tent at 75 degrees. :grin:

But yea, my seeds are germinating and should show root within the next 2 days.

Anyone know anything about growing these 2 strains on 12/12?
 
So the plant shown here are not auto flowering? and there grown 12-12 all the way throu, no 18-6 at all? If this is correct this is really cool man and nice plants btw

That is correct, photoperiod plants grown on a light cycle of 12/12 from the moment the seed goes into the soil.
 
I an a new grower and was wondering how long the process takes from seed to cut in general? I had someone give me a mother vanilla kush and I did some clones from her they are about 4 weeks old and are about 8 inches tall or so.....Don't know much I bought a 1000 watt light with a adjustable ballast 500 750 1000 and I have them under the 500 24 hrs not sure when to switch over to 12-12. Any and all advice is appreciated I have my license and I want to do this right ...Thanks

This thread is about only running plants on 12/12 light cycle, from start to finish, seed to chop. We don't bother with a veg period in here, saves on electricity bills ^_^
 
Good Morning 12x12fs growers,I harvested the 2 northern lights,where I defoliated 1 & not the other.
Then I read an article about how to do it.
I made a lot of mistakes,but still got more weight out of the 1 defoliated. A lot of work.
I'll do it again 1 day maybe,looks like once I start I better off to keep doing it.
Have a great day!

Last time I tried defoliation, it put an extra 2 or 3 weeks onto my flowering time :s Perhaps I defoliated too much and it stunted it.
 
I got two girls just beginning to flower (The Doctor & Pakistan Valley) also have 3 seedlings just starting their life cycle (2 Royal Flush's and a Super Lemon Haze). 12/12 from seed; I FIM'med both of my flower girls and have about 4-5 bud sites per plant.

Same thing here,I even asked hsfkush what to add.lol
It threw out a whole load of bud sites and leaves out the ying yang and I think there is a happy median somewhere.
The extra buds came out looking like they were grown under a bic lighter. But that's my fault for not reading how first.
I had fun and I'm happy,peace

They are both a dream. She stunted a lil after I FIM'd her, but she's flowering nicely at every node and already smellin sweet right at first flowers. She looks to have about 4-6 bud sites developing. I'm gonna pull half the plant with clear trich's and the rest when turning amber.

It's good for us personal growers, we can freely experiment with out any financial consequences. Even though I'm only have 12 plants(perpetual) worth of experience, I feel I've learned more from doing, rather than reading.
 
Amen,but I won't say what's the more important,kinda like the chicken and the egg deal.
I'll be glad to go perpetual one day.
I never wanted to go to college until cannabis college came around,now I want to learn.Yee haw!!

OOH Yeah,I forgot Good Morning!! 12x12fs growers Have a Great Day & God Bless Ya!
 
Wassup my 12/12 fs crew! Havent been on for a while, still growing 12/12 fs perpetual in the shed ;-).....................I have had my first grow bday, lights were first switched on at the end of June 2012 and the neighbors still havent got a clue :mrgreen: had some over the weekend just gone for a bbq. We were all sitting just outside the shed eating, drinking, smoking etc and they were oblivious and kept asking where i got my smoke from. Nice.

Have a widow bomb in the 3rd week of flower and a bubblegummer thats just popped through the coco, will post some pics later.
