The 12-12 From Seed Thread

Ok I have I question for the 12-12 from seed guys. Its a little off topic but I figured this would be the best place to ask. I started some seeds to throw outside this year. I have 14 seedlings with one true set of leaves. I don't wanna waste time growing plants that are gonna be males. If I flower them now simply to determine sex, will they reveg outdoors or continue to flower? What are my chances of herms if they do reveg? Also will it be hard to determin sex with them being so small? Thanks in advance and sorry again this was off topic a bit.

Most likely reveg depending on where you live and the amount of sunlight outside, if you have already passed the summer equinox or live in a place where the days are 12 hours (12/12) then they will continue to flower however its still pretty early where i live

What are my chances of herms if they do reveg?
Not greatly increased, the stress from going to veg-flower-veg will vary depending on if you harden them off before you put them outside but i don't think it will be a major issue

Also will it be hard to determin sex with them being so small?
No because it will take time for them to actually flower and you will probably have multiple nodes at that time

Hope this helps brutha:leaf:

yeah 6.5 is a reasonable size i reckon, kept meaning to get square pots, never did...........ordered some air pots though....1-3 and 6 litres.

You rekon 6 ltrs is big enough, thought you used bigger pots up to 10 ltrs
i use 6 - 7.5 and 10 litre but with coco my preference has shifted to 6 litre............got air pots on way so should be able to stick with 6 litre maximum from now on............i like to be able to water at least every other day.

hey people i was wondering if i mixed 60% coco 30% perlite and 10% MG organic in a 5 gallon pot for an outdoor grow how frequently do you think i would have to water? also id happily hear opinions on a different ratio for the mix, im aiming for a good mix of the three that won't need to be watered that frequently because my site is a hike away that i dont want to make everyday, thanks so much (i know this isnt a 12/12 related Q but i've never used coco before and just bought 2 bricks)
