12-12 from Start to Finish

[sopenderope]

If you start plants from seed at a 12-12 light cycle how long is it usually between when they sprout and when they start to show flowers?

 

[shadymyster555]

you enticed me I thought there were going to be pictures from start to finish! Yar!! Maybe a few weeks to determine sex.

 

[Bamm Bamm]

I wonder if it would work? ting is with going from 12 right off the bat I think you'd only get like an 1/8th from each plant=)

i use to do 12-12 from seed real good if your only growing for personall or limited space..or many other reason...yea the yeild is small..but i did 4 plants an yeilded 2.5oz dry total...showed sex in under 2weeks...imo its all good...peace az

 

[sopenderope]

yea i knew yield would be small if done like that, i just didnt know how long before i'd have to look out for those damn balls heh

sorry if i got you excited about pictures, heh, i love looking at grow journals too

actually I read a HUGE thread on another forum about 12/12, and im pretty sure early finishing sativas are FINE to put on 12/12 and will still get about a foot tall and with the right lights get you and ounce or a little more off each baby.

 

[Mr. Maryjane]

what about late sativas, that take like 14 wks, how would they do

 

[mattman]

Think of it this way, if you were to put a 14 week finishing sativa seed 12/12 from start, it would probably still take about 14 weeks, all your doing when you put it on 12/12 is completely skipping the veg stage, the plant grows, but will only get between half a foot to a foot tall..... I say with a good hps on top and some cfls for side lighting, you would have no problem pulling off some good yields.


The only problem is finding a sativa seed that finishes early, I mean could you imagine putting a 45-60 day sativa seed 12/12 right off the bat? You would have great bud in less than 2 months, compared to the average, 1 month veg, 2 month bud process.

Ill look around on the net and see if I can find the article......


And anyone hops in this thread can help me find the earliest finishing sativa, ill run a journal from start to finish 4 everyone

 

[sopenderope]

oooh now you got me interested heh
i'm about to get my search on here in a few minutes

 

[sopenderope]

burmese specifically says dont veg too long to avoid height problems,
so not vegging at all might work heh

mmm... early sativa, its listed as an outdoor strain but it would work.

i'll keep looking, the avg shortest i've seen is about 45 days.

edit: maybe fast freddie, 45 days and up to 100g

Very interested in that thread, mattman. Interested in any articles or other resources about 12/12 from seed. Especially interested in pictures of results produced.

As for fast finishing sativas, Voodoo, Power Plant, and Original Flo (all from Dutch Passion) are some mostly sativa hybrids that come to mind. All of these are said to have 8 weeks flowering time. WeedBay.Net - 1000 types of marijuana strains | Medical Marijuana Card | Medical Marijuana NEWS | medical marijuana coop club dispensary map has the info about all these strains (and many many more).

that is a lie if you start 12/12 from seed it wont flower right away so it will take at least 2 1/2 months to 3 to finish

12/12 from seed - Grasscity.com Forums you can scroll down here, and you'll see a picture of Northern Lights ready to harvest supposedly 52 days from seed germination.

The more I research this, the more it's apparent to me that it's quite possible to grow in less than 2 months from seed using 12/12. You should research this too, your opinions will have credibility to them if you do.

looks somewhat hairy so i would say it could of went longer but what ever floats your boat i dont like to harvest early also he said they didnt show sex til day 14 and 15 so thats only 38 days of flower sensi seeds description of northern lights says 45-50 days flowering so it is a bit premi if you dont want it at its full potental thats fine

 

[stickyhits]

and he also stated it was by nirvana which has F1's i believe so it isnt a stablized seed like sensi seeds is so it could be even more premi you should of went to page 2 of your own link were he says his took 3-4 weeks to veg from 12/12 and that it's about the same amout of time

and you want to dis my credibility cause someone harvested early at least respond you've been viewing the thread for 40 minutes

 

[sopenderope]

look i didnt start this thread to hear anyone get called a liar. i wanted to know how long it would take to harvest if you ran twelve twelve start to finish and thats what we are here to find out, this thread is for research and productive conversation. so please if you cant be constructive about it then stop being part of the conversation because it doesnt help anything.

thanks for the link tho, i'll sit down and read it here in a bit. that picture is right at the top of the page for the link i found...

International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums - 12/12 From Seed: A Different Way To Grow


i'll be back on here tonigh

 

[mattman]

listen bro, before you start calling people liars, let me get my source in here, ive been searching for it and sent a email to a friend who still has the entire forum article saved... ill have it up for you guys soon. its basically a grow journal of a couple of different sativas that are exactly 12/12 from seed.


Sopen, you found it!!!!! Thats when ive been looking for and its funny b/c as soon as i read your link and clicked on my email my friend had sent the link...

THIS WORKS, you can put a sativa on 12/12 from seed and it will grow and finish during its flowering time!


AND LET ME REPHRASE WHAT I SAID EARLIER, its not 12/12 from seed, its actually you put it under the light for 24/0 until you see it sprout and grow its first set of leaves, then 12/12.

 

[mattman]

that is a lie if you start 12/12 from seed it wont flower right away so it will take at least 2 1/2 months to 3 to finish

I KNow it wont fucking flower right AWAY.... i just meant the cycle 12/12 is flowering so technically the plant is FLOWERING!

 

[mattman]

im thinking about ordering some flo, ill keep everyone updated on the progress.
