The 12-12 From Seed Thread

RW what size pot is that?

ECP, it is a 3 gal, I had to water every day for the last 3 weeks!!!!...rw

I'm addicted to supercropping! The old twist n' snap really keeps my plants in line and makes them stronger lol.

110 days, wow. That's going to be potent!

Yeah, I've discovered the joys of supercropping too. I LOVE to see how quick the tops will turn around after I fold 'em down... LOL

Sorry, I was feeling lazy... Here's what I use:

Amended Coco recipe:
Expand 1 brick of coco in 1 to 1-1/4 gallons water in a large bucket.
Mix the following into the expanded coco:

6 tablespoons each of Blood meal, Kelp meal and Bone meal
3 tablespoons each of Marine Cuisine and Bat Guano
½ cup lime
1 Package Mycos
6 cups of Earthworm casings
10 cups of Perlite

Mix everything together and let soil mixture “rest” for 5-7 days, stirring it thoroughly at least once each day. Plant your plants in the soil mix and add water when necessary. That’s it!
When you move from vegetation stage into the flower stage, you can top dress if desired with ½ cup each of bat guano and Marine Cuisine for additional nutrients.

I just want to clarify. Can you start seeds in this?

You have a good point there, del. Hmm, maybe set each airpot inside a slightly larger plastic pot... I'm not ready to chuck my airpots yet!!

Has anyone ever gotten rootbound on 12/12fs?

dunno but I will be trying in 10 gallons this time, got better results in 7 gallons than 5... I am using my own supersoil, no bottled nutrients

Nice thread Del, I ve been looking for a 12/12 from seed thread and this is without doubt the best. i ve been growing 12/12 fs now for a few years ,i use a 50 25 25 mix of soil perl verm, 400 w hps and i do get great results ,ave 1 oz per plant in 1 gallon pots. the quickest were nirvanas blue mystic and ak 48 which finished in under 50 days from sprout which is great, however the daily watering is a bitch so im thinking of going for the wilma 20 pot hydro system.

has anyone got any experience of the wilma system ? or any hydro 12/12 fs grower want to shine a light on the advantages/disadvantages of hydro doing it like this, i do like the look of the wilma mainly because you can move/switch/turn plants at will.

cheers....

hello mate, welcome to our little thread. my mate has used wilma, if you dont mind some leaks and cheap plastic and crap pump then they are fine...also you still have to clean out the tank and keep it at right ph and nute levels..........how about switching to coco.......

 

[ineverveg]

so the wilma is a no go lol, shame as it does seem very practical. i used an nft system until i found the wonder of soil, the nft was hard work with the clart on i agree. i wont be able to water the next crop everyday so i was thinking hydro. would you say that a bigger pot with coco is a better way to go?

So I tried to read through all 750 pages but I just couldn't read them all before getting impatient and asking my first question.

I have two plants, they're about 10" tall in 1gallon smart pots in FFOF. They're under a total of 120 "real" watts CFLs. Today it has been 26 days since they sprouted out of the soil. They've been 12/12 since the start.

My question is, when should I be seeing signs of sex? One is starting to smell but there isn't sign of what they're going to be yet.

coco is easy to use and every other day is all im feeding.....im using 6-10 litre pots...........

1-2 weeks tops, maybe sooner.

Thanks for the advice bud, you most likely saved me from making an expensive mistake, the reason i went on to soil in the first place was the complexity of hydro with nft, had nowt but bother with it.

I think 10 litre pots instead of 5 will be my only way to go, at least i know i wont lose any ..

Yes, I can. And do... and put clones in it as soon as they are rooted.

 

[blimey]

Thanks that puts some nerves at ease.

hello mate..........i have done grapefruit but it was under a 600.........was a while ago now though so cant be sure on weights but in the region of 2-3 per plant........lovely plant thats ideal for 12-12 from seed.....spect you saw the grapefruit pics at the start of thread....no reason why you shouldnt get 1 1/2 oz per plant under a 400.......
