The 12-12 From Seed Thread

[mc260377]

hi mate......what made you decide to 12-12 autos? are all your plants autos?

Space was the main reason. Ive already got a tent that has a White Widow, Pineapple Express, 2 unknowns and a bubblelicious auto on 18/6 and because my other converted shelve area currently has an unknown in there on flowering I thought I might as well put the x3 bubbles in there aswell. Will be nice to see the comparison between the 1 that is on 18/6 and the other 3 that are on 12/12

I would have had a 3rd room but now that isnt going to happen due to the risk involved and I dont want the landlord sniffing around lol

Few pics of where im at.


This lot are mixed strains a few weeks in

9 northern lights


In the main cab are the grapefruits and WWS. Only had 2 beans crack outa 6 rocklock so germing another 6 and these look better beans so hopefully all will crack and ill have 8 rocklocks so i can pick a good pheno to keep and clone, also got some lemon skunk from DNA germing. Got busy few days now sorting out my grow space, got a tent to put up after i clear enough space for it and prob have to dismantle one of my diy cabs to make room for the tent but ill end up with more actual grow space using the tent plus ill use a 600 instead of a 400. Already fucking knackered so not looking forward to all this work lol.

all looks fine to me, dont see a need to cut the lemon yet, just have to watch those young ones dont stretch, all you can do is give them as much food and light as possible..,, you say those small ones are in 2 gallon pots.....thats slightly different to uk gallons isnt it......i know someone said but my useless memory...how tall are those lemons? long flowering time too arent they?

Hey del! Thanks for the quick reply. What you say makes perfect sence. These lemons i have left in the tent are coming down tonite!!!!! I dont know what is going on with these 2 girls really. They really dont look ready from a distance, but when i look at the trichomes, there are some ambers.. so i must have focked something up along the road, oh well. I should have some nice smaller potent buds. Super Lemon haze is said to be a 10 -12 week flowering period... but not for me. They primed at 9 weeks if not sooner. I think having them under SUPER LUMEN hp wattage really blasted them forward. Im not sure if that was such a good thing. Im tending to think, if a strain is sopposed to be flowering for a certain amount of time, then that should really be followed. I think it allows the flowering process to take on a slower more natural growth. Does that make sence?
you know im not sure about the UK to USA gallon conversion.. hahahah, thats really wierd..
my 2 last lemons really arent nearly as tall as my other 2 that i already harvested.. maybe they are about 2 and a half feet tall.. One was scrogged and that really halted the upward growth. the other one was a runt to begin with,... Plants are kooky..
So im going to lower my light tonite. dont want NO strechin.. thanks for that important reminder del!
later mate

hello mate, looking very productive as usual, can seem like a chore at times......but we love it really...........

I prefer good genetics, I've got 4 mango diesel vegging outside in my garden, and that's supposed to be a SD mom behind that plant under cfls, I just used my favorite bagseed to fill out the gaps. 12/12 from clone would be ideal for me.

I'm going to use airpots for my mothers and possibly in a flood table down the road.

edit: here's my outdoor plants

looking good there mate..when you say you prefer good genetics are you saying fems are bad?.. clones are good but just no space for mothers.........and i change strains often.

No, fems = females of any strain. My bagseed is powerful, but it's not my ideal high. More like a lazy couchlock. The best I've smoked was some kind of kush for $20 a gram but I do love sour diesel. This is what I'm referring to when I say "good" genetics, I'm looking for the perfect high. Top shelf ganja

Thanks for the compliments!!!

yeah im pretty happy with my bubblebomb but doing more breeding this year to see what else i can make...have to say it has out performed all other strains ive tried..... used fem seeds for a few years though.

So you get good results from first gen crossbreeds? I got mine from another grower who crossed them and I can already smell them a few feet away, a very strong distinct odor. They're first gen as well, hope they turn out good. I'm not ambitious enough to breed... I've always been told that crossbreeding and backcrossing are necessary to develop the desired traits and minimize ones that are not, which is one step too many for me

 

[jimmygreenfingers]

Defiantly a labour of love this perpetual growing Del, worth all the effort tho. Looking forward to vegging some rocklock and pulling some mahoosive buds, been a while since Ive done a traditional grow lol, just got so much shit to move outta the garage i just know its gonna be a long day.

yeah they would like us to think its all rocket science or who would they get to buy their seeds.....

[del66666]

my normal practice would be to grow my plants under a 250 enviro for 3 ish weeks which keeps them short but as i have so many im using a 250 dual spec hps, be interesting to see if much difference......

 

[mac.os.x]

First time grow, 8 days from crack of the seed. I wanna try this 12/12 from seed. Is now a good time to thro in my hps and start 12/12 ?????? right now their under my mh.

More light the merrier

[mac.os.x]

i dont understand. i can only use 1 400 at a time. right now their 24hr veg with 400mh. but is it koo to go ahead and switch it to 400hps/12/12 ?? im asking cause i dont know. but i want a nice successful crop like del ;p and how big would they get at 12/12 if i started today.
