Lowryder or strait to 12/12 from seed?

Hello
I am almsot ready for my next grow. right now i grew some black widow and pok kush. but that is neither here nor thier

I do not have the space for a mother plant so need to grow from seed each and every time-- it takes a long ass tiem to veg etc -- so ive been thinking.

Ive reada few threads on 12/12 from seed -- I have also read alot about auto flower strains.

would 12/12 be a more economical option -- less light -- then 20/4.. will i get the saem yields (its just for me _)

I also read it takes lowrider / ak47 70 days to be ready -- some other strains flower for less then 70 days .. could i have a faster turn around time..


I have all these questions and more -- thanks!

get some autoflowering ak-47, I've heard good things.

Veg for two weeks to give them some growth, then 12/12.

i dont want alot of growth, I want short and quick.

i was lookng at the ak/lowryder cross -- but if i can get the same out of the original ak47 jsut by gowing strait to 12/12 from seed (or 12/12 with a strain with a short flower time) wouldn that be better... It woudl also alow me to try other strains
does anyone have experience on strait to 12/12 from seed?

oh the one thing i forgot and is important
the reason i want fast from seed to weed is i want ot doa perpetual harvest but with seed --

that is why i was wondering if 12/12 or lowrider -- what is the better .

Grow them on 18/6 or 20/4 start-finish.

Yes 12/12 will be much faster but your yields would be pathetic.

If you dont have the patience to wait for Lowryder crosses then maybe you shouldnt be growing

Growing good plants takes a bit of time.

see i have read that 12/12 from seed a decent amount of smoke. I am thinking more and more of strait to 12/12 because it can give me a bigger variety of weed -- put a new seed in every 10 days or so and ill have an 1/4 plus every 10 days.. thats all im really looking for.

Yea thats 12/12 from seed with normal strains not auto/LR strains.

i should be cleareer then i apologize -- a litle stoned when i wrote this


what is better a autoflower strain OR a regular strain gone 12/12 from seed?

what will give a more yield? what will grow faster?

thanks again and sorry for being confusing.

ive got lowrider ak47 seeds ready to go in.if i left them on 24 light for 3-5weeks like i want to and get more growth before 20/4 is this ok or would it stress the plants??

are 10ltr pots ott or would 8.5ltr be better cheers??

i like it always thought about doing it but never considered how easy it would be to have a variety doing 12/12, so many strains to try

12/12 from seed will still take longer than an autoflower strain to finish flowering because the plant will still veg for a while until it is sexually mature enough to flower no matter if the lighting is set to 12/12. however, if ur plan is to start a perpetual grow then this wont really be an issue except on the very first harvest. ur first plant may take an extra 2 or 3 weeks vs. an autoflowering strain but after that you will be harvesting every week or 2 weeks or however u decide to space it out anyway. i would caution you that going 12/12 from seed may stress ur plant enough to cause it to lack in yeild. ive seen some people have great success and others that ended up very disappointed.

yeah, seems to be mixed reviews but i think it a good idea, think the people that don't like it are used to like 4-5 ounces, seems that sativas do better under 12/12 but would obviously take longer
