Also big budz, in my opinion, what really determines the size of a 12/12 plant is the amount of light it gets. This can seem obvious, but when soooo many growers shove many plants together, the results are considerable different. Yes you will have more plants to harvest, but often times fewer plants will produce much more weight than more plants! If you have two plants next to each other, you automatically reduce at least 20% light that plant would have been receiving if it was by itself.Thanks for the info, I'll try it when I get the space. As you can see I have quite a few plants going at once and am running out of room quickly. At this point I just want to get this Scrog completed and then I'm going to give 12/12 from seed some real time. That way things are mobile because I think I'm going to redesign my grow area, yes, once again. That way I won't have to be trying to fig out how to move a developing scrog.

I'm ashamed to admit (and would only do so here), that I've made a pipe out of my granddaughters toys. She had these pvc pieces that all linked together with bright colored pvc t's, elbows, crossbars, and straight pieces. There were hundreds of them. So I took a straight and an elbow, made a pipe, then formed a bowl out of tin snipped from a diet coke can...
Basically, the modern grandma's version of granny's corn cob pipe!

Well, I'm absolutely no expert, but first of all, I'd say no to the 12/12 until they have roots. Second, I'd say that the 55 days doesn't begin until a) they take root and b) begin to show sex.
That's my 2¢ worth...

Sadly, no, I don't still have that pipe. That was prior to getting my med card and I was still "sneaking" to high... I usually nabbed my son's glass bowl when he wasn't looking, but on this particular day, he had taken it with him for some reason and I was jonesing a toke...I've always been oddly creative (oddly meaning I always see "alternative" uses for the most random off-the-wall shit).
I'm probably not going to actively participate in the 12/12 contest cuz I've just got a good grow going (my first) and I don't have the time or space to start something new right now.
Here's a pic of what I did yesterday:

Loving this thread. Nice work everyone. Think I will make the switch to 12/12 from seed soon. I currently run autos and average around 18-20g per plant in 9-10 weeks from seed.
If most 12/12 from seed show sex at week 3.5-4, should I expect to be harvesting by/around week 12?
The extra couple weeks wouldn't be too bad as long as I keep the target yield (15-25g/plant in FFOF under a 400 hps cooltube in a 4'x2' tent)
Mathematically I see it this way. If I do 8 plants (1 per square foot) that yield 14 grams each I will end with around 112 grams dry. Divide this over 15 weeks (12 weeks for growing, 1 week for dry and 2 weeks for cure), I would be able to stay medicated with about a gram per day, or 7.5g per week. This would be perfect.
If I do this with the auto's I currently run, I could do 8 plants, 14+ grams ea, in 12 weeks (9 to grow, 1 to dry and 2 to cure). This would leave me with about 9.3grams of meds per week, but I would also be spending more on autos for the extra electricity (Auto's = $68.04 for 9 weeks of 18/6 vs 12/12 from seed = $60.48 over 12 weeks)
I'm almost convinced to make the switch, but I am worried about not having the medicine I need.

Happy camper, I also run a 2x4 tent. You should look into a perpetual harvest setup. That way, you can be harvesting 1-3 plants every two weeks. Just start two-four plants, run them in flowering, and 2 weeks later, start another 2-4. 2 weeks later start another 2-4. This can also be done with clones but give yourself an extra 10-18 days to root. If you keep this cycle, you can harvest every two weeks. If you chose to start four seeds, only keep two of the stronger ones to still have the room.

I'm gonna do a perpetual grow once I get a couple under my belt. And once I move out of this shithole I'm living at and have more space. Around april-may I'll hopefully be ready

You cant beat perpetual grow, ive finally got my shit together and will be chopping 9 12/12 plants every two weeks or so. Once my mothers are established then i'll run cuts as well as seeds. Its work but rewarding and i'll always have a good supply of bud.
