Will my bud be as potent if done 12/12 from seed?

JD21095 · Oct 17, 2010

Will the buds still be as potent if done 12/12 from seed? i cant really veg because i only have 15 inches in height and with 12/12 from seed it may still reach over that but i can do a bit of lst its my first grow so i dont really know how to do extreme lst and i kno i wont yeild as much doing this but its only for personal use

yes your buds will still be potent you will just have alot less weed. Put them into flowering at 2 inches if you only have 15inces of space.

I wouldn't see why it'd be less potent...

I would say veg a little before you do the 12/12. I did a 12/12 from seed and it really hurt my plant size. Check pic attached. I ended up starting over.

You can expect your plant to double in height from the start of 12/12 to harvest (from what I read).

How tall is your planter??

Since you only have 15 inches of height to work with I would recommend LSTing so they are twisty tied down around the perimeter of the pot and top it once you run out of perimeter. I did this in a reallllly small box with 12 plants only got 12 inches and worked out great.

i wanna harvest earlier also due to it being a stealth grow

so 12/12 seems best for me and if they get over 15 inches i just tie them down

that is no way a plant even from 12/12 its a premature bud stuck in dirt right

Nope thats the real deal...I'm serious. I had another plant a little bit bigger. From research I see the best 12/12 grows were done under HPS bulbs.

People were telling me that was the smallest plant they had ever seen. I think it was an indica strain, so they're short already. Seed came in a 10 seed mix (won't do that again) so I really don't know. In my research I saw that 12/12 from seed hurt autoflower size. So its possible that little girl was an autoflower.

I'm telling you... you will not be disappointed if you veg for a week or two.

JD21095 · Oct 17, 2010

Its gonna be my first ever grow so i think im just gonna do some autoflowers maybe lowlife ak47 x auto hindu kush they finish 10 weeks from seed and its gotta be pretty potent right? ill be happy with 1/2 oz from each plant do maybe 4 plants with a 300 watt dual spectrum cfl, do you know if ONA blocks are good for controlling odour?

Yeah they'll be potent... make sure you don't do 12/12 with autoflowering strains!! You can keep the light cycle 18/6 from sprout to harvest. It would be a good idea to do what the Flying Dutchman said to control the height.

JD21095 · Oct 17, 2010

You shouldnt top autoflowers this strain stays pretty short im only gonna lst if it gets above 15 inches and just slightly bend it

JD21095 · Oct 17, 2010

If doing auto should i just go with a 300 red spec instead of the dual spec?

superbub52 · Oct 17, 2010

thats a good question but it has been said that a mix of spectrums are good to have when vegging and flowering

JD21095 · Oct 17, 2010

Okay thanks

12/12 from seed works great in DWC. Has to be one of my favorite grow methods.

Will my bud be as potent if done 12/12 from seed?
