The 12-12 From Seed Thread

[bamboofarmer]

about 15 weeks...wow...the only things that I know that take that long
are my Ace Seeds Old Timers Haze and Purple Haze....but then again
the OTH can go to 140 days.

Do you know the breed of big-as-a-milkjug?

No. It is 5th generation from bagseed. But the big ass cola didn't show up until the 4th gen. Am I doing something wrong? My plants never seem to finish. Maybe she's done and I just don't know what the hell i'm doing.

and these are my grapefruits

Last grow I did I ended up with a plant that produced a cola that was almost as big as a milk jug. The damn thing would not finish just kept stacking on calyxes. I finally chopped it after over a hundred days days in flower only to find an assload of mold.
I'm currently growing one of the few seeds she produced on a 12/12 from seed schedule. She's 104 days old and pistils are still more than 50% white, trichomes are mostly cloudy, but still no ambers. Chop or wait?

Don't chop til its ready. Instead open up the bud, loosen any part of it that will pull away from the center. Make sure air is moving, a direct but light breeze right into the cola might save you the mold problem.

From my experience, 33 to 35 days is typical. Hang in there for one more week!

That thing is a beast!

I'm not giving up dude I'm a persistent little bastard when it comes to my plants just started growing indoors this season but have done outdoor for several seasons now I'm experimenting with a few different grow techniques indoors to see what works best

 

[budstocker88]

Bubba kush cloned 12/12 from rooted sour kush 12/12 from rooted clone both 3 weeks into flower room

 

[budstocker88]

Forgive me for not having the patience to read through all 594 pages of this... I was wondering...

What's the range of yields from a 12/12-from-seed plant generally is (assuming average growing skills, >1 year growing experience, and proper nutrient, lighting, and watering levels)?

How many days to finish for a 12/12-from-seed plant that would normally flower in 10 weeks after a two month veg?

Thanks for any feedback!

 

[paddy510]

usually 12-16weeks seed to harvest. yield anywhere from a few grams to an oz or 2 each
the benefit is that it can be done as a perpetual grow with 1 light in 1 area on 1 timer.
you can just keep planting more seeds be it weekly, fortnightly or monthly, the more often you plant the more often you harvest.


heres some of mine from the last few years, all done 12/12 from seed.

 

[budstocker88]

Nice paddy and those pics kinda got me a little excited about what I might be able to do with my babies... are those Bagseed or fem seeds and 1 gallon pots?

 

[paddy510]

started out with just a mix of different bagseeds, i do a seed grow every year to get more seeds
got some afghan and kush based genetics ive been playing with for the last couple years now.

i usually start in 3" then move to 6" and 8" pots as needed, better plants get the bigger pots, can fit more using smaller pots tho

250w HPS 2'x3' area, basically just a corner of the room with a hanging canvas sheet making up the other 2 sides and blocking light, open top for heat to escape, very basic setup.

my best is 5.5 oz with Agent Orange, generally would get from 1 to 3 oz per plant or per container. The key is to use large containers (at least 4 gallons, preferably 7) and either direct seed in them or transplant when the plants are only a few days to a week old. Organic supersoil, LEDs and voila.

Nice I have a 3x3 tent 400w hps and also using kush strains have bubba and sour kush hopefully I can get good results I'll be sure to keep you posted

Hi I wanted to show you an Anubis I grew a few months ago, I just wanted to experiment and get a little confidence before going full production, anyway it grew under two 20 watts cfl and in flowering one 105 watts cfl, it took two months from seed to harvest, I wanted it to go fast so I chopped the top, no fertilizer used (just vermicompost and some npk).

 

[bamboofarmer]

Don't chop til its ready. Instead open up the bud, loosen any part of it that will pull away from the center. Make sure air is moving, a direct but light breeze right into the cola might save you the mold problem.

Thanks for the advice, haven't been on here in a few days. I did chop a couple weeks ago. No mold this time.

I was wondering, do you guys start with veg nutes or switch to bloom nutrients straight away? I understand that for the first couple of weeks cannabis won't flower, it has to mature. So maybe during this time it's a good idea to add vegetative specific nutrients and once flowers start occuring, switch to flowering nutes?

 

[DaMasterBeef]

First time posting but if like some input. I have 3 white widow growing under a 300w led. My cabinet is roughly 3ft x 1.5 ft x 2 ft. I don't have much airflow and the light is fixed externally to negate heat issues. I only have a small desktop fan blowing in them 24/7, but the lights of course are 12/12.

My girls are about 3 weeks old and are growing very slowly. I have transplanted them into their final pots with Fox Farm Ocean Forest. No nutes or added love as of yet.

As this is my first attempt at growing, I was hoping to get any input from you guys.

Thanks in advance

I also am perpetual 12/12 from seed.in order to keep my girls from stretching I am constantly pinning them down .12/12 from seed in kahootz with L.S.T is a great technique..Also one drop of superthrive per liter of water seems to give me 90% females..the superthrive is not proven but seems to be working great.In the past year I have only had 3 males,out of sixty..I do not use feminized seeds.
