I'm a small time farmer and have been growing only autos for the last 2 years. A couple of weeks ago I harvested 3 Afgan Kush Ryders. Ended up with 2.15 ozs dried which I consider pretty good with my CFLs and LST. I don't sell, so it's ALL mine. On a 10 scale I would rate these a 8.5-9.
cons
1. The seeds and shipping are expensive
2. Can't clone em
3. Production is low
pros
1. Finished in 8-9 weeks. I always have some going so I can produce this every 4-5 weeks or so.
2. No veg period.
3. Lighting is 24/0. Same bulbs from seed to harvest. No timers to mess with.
Time for a change.
Growing out a reg Fem Anestesia(sp?) right now as a mother. It came free from Tude with one of my orders. I will be taking clones and going 12/12 shortly after roots have developed. I always wondered what would happen doing this and I am impressed.
Very well done del66666 and thanks for the info. Nice pics.

my uncle who is old school and no longer into gardening swears this is the most cost effective and best way to go...he reasons that the herb grows great in climates near the equator and they have almost equal amount of day and night all year round... makes sensi to me I think Ill try one that way as an experiment.

absolutely mate, ive had normal seeds ( orange bud, northern lights ) etc flowering within 2 1/2 weeks of age, finished in under 11 weeks total and produce 2-3 dry per plant, thinking of cloning at some point though too.

Following this thread inspired me to try my own 12/12 grow; I'm a week into flower with my traditional grow and I have a ton more floor space under my 1000watt so I will put the plants off in one corner(7'x7' area) to avoid immediate exposure to the youngins....... do you think they can handle the 1000 watt hps? or, should I have them under Flouros for the first few weeks?

just dont put them close...should be fine........
What are some good strains to use with the 12/12 from seed method? Or better yet...what characteristics should I look for when choosing a strain for the 12/12 from seed method?
For example: Indica dominant or Sativa dominant or 50/50?
I'm considering the Jack Herer from Greenhouse Seed Company...it is 40(sativa, haze)/60(indica, red skunk) and appears to grow with one main cola. Would the JH be a good choice for this method?
Thanks, Reishi

How long does it typically take from seed to harvest? I know I'm gonna get replies saying it depends on the strain and what not, just wondering on average. And would it be possible to do seed-harvest in party cups? Cause i have a pretty small space, and I'd love to grow like 10 little fellas lol.
