The 12-12 From Seed Thread

A quick run down of the set up then the update on the girls, its best I show my set-up as Im a noob on ere.


I`m in the U.K and my tent a Secret Jardin DS60 mk2 is in the loft/attic, I have 2 Prakasa 90w Leds with UV, 2 hygro meters, a System Air 6" Ruck pulling through a 6" CF and being vented out through a breather in the roof.


All strains go in Bio-Bizz Light Mix and I also use their nute range, various pots are used including 6L Air Pots, I`m currently giving 12/12 FS Perpetual a shot as Iv`e only the 1 space. Iv`e had many grows with this set up and I`m more than happy with my yields from it.

The 2 little ones you see are a G13 Gigabud (fem) 7 days old and an Unknown D9L Sativa (reg) at 21 Days old, both flowering girls are on 2.5 ml of grow and bloom nutes per litre. Once the Cheese is down I have a Dutch Passion Orange Bud to go in next.

Forgot to take one of the medicine Buddha but she's still tiny
 
out of curiosity, would 12/12 from seed be a good idea for a first time grower? It seems to me that it may be a good way to ease into growing MJ that would be a bit forgiving if i make mistakes and still leave me some bud for my expenditures. What do you experienced guys think?

I only started this last June and it was my first time at growing anything, once you get your setup dialled in its pretty straight forward. Like SV said, read this thread from the start and you should be good.
 
Bubba 76.....freebie from Attitude that i popped because it was the last fem seed I had, looks like a winner to me :-P

Day 52 from seed, day 28 of flower, under 400w HPS and using the full HESI range in Canna Pro Coco, she stands just under 4 ft, my biggest plant to date.

Wow! They look amazing. :) Great job m8.
 
IMO 12-12 fs is slightly less forgiving, in that if you make a mistake the recovery window is tiny before it will start affecting yield, with vegging plants if you shock the plant you can just let it recover for another week or two. On 12-12 you don't have that option

The only thing that makes it simple is not having to switch the light schedule, not a hugely demanding task in the first place
Lighting schedules seem to scare beginners, which is probably why they manage to sell so many autoflowers lol
but the reality is you simply change your timer

However would still recommend 12-12 for a beginner, but like the guys have said, just make sure you read and keep the stress/shock to a minimum and keep them green and healthy and you'll be fine. :)

also we're here to help where we can if you run into any problems.

I'll try to pick up camera wire today. I have a question: I had what looked like snow on the leaves yesterday,I turned the light up another notch & the snow went away. Did the heat do it? Will it come back? Thanks
