First pic is right after harvest. Pics 2 and 3 are after a week of drying. Definetley went 2 or 3 days extra by accidently. Came out to about a 1/2 oz off 2 plants in 2 gallon 12/12FS.

try not to stunt them
topping is fine, but timing is important, try 4th-5th node

what size pots are y'all using for 12/12 from seed grows? i used 3 1/2 gallon pots and they are to big, and my plants are to small this round from being stunted from over watering. i have a 2'x2'x4' box with 337 watts cfl 2700k, and the 4 pots i used filled the box up.

bad part is one flowered on 3rd, the other 3 have 5. i'll try that next round. believe me, i hope i learned my lesson on over watering and stunting.

Maybe all us regular 12/12 FS growers should do an un-official party cup comp ???

I tried an egg cup but the bean turned out to be a dud, I`m up for it if a few others are !!!!!
Yeah man lets do it, I'm up for a little party cup 12-12 comp. lets get it sorted out for the next couple of weeks, rules amd regs and all that. The winner gets bragging rights unless anyone wants to give anything away.

Depending how my 12/12 party cup turns out I could try a whole new style of grow. Party cups in trays in a shelf system under floros. We'll see how it goes lol. I'm always looking for something new.

I finish in 7.5 litre tomato pots

I topped all of my last grow, but in this one I'm not topping any. I guess we'll see what results I get :D
I am currently growing without topping and I wish I would have. I would rather have two heads than one. I thought by not topping and letting all the food go to one big top was maybe the answer but I was clearly mistaken. Its in my sig

shes lookin a bit stroppy coz she got her shoes wet. Organic grown. Smells very sweet, like a sweet kinda hash, very strange smell like blackjacks or something? I dunno. Will see how she develops. THC is forming already, looks like the kinda THC formation that ends up with resinous results, tbc...

oh yeah, it may look like the main stem is coming out of nowhere, but i started by LST'ing her and then let her be free so she sprung baack up with an 'S' shaped main stem

I've recently just cracked a Durban Poison by Dutch Passion, hopefully mine looks something like yours in 5 weeks time :D

I think you're better off lsting from about 12-14 days old, you'll end up with more bud sites and a lot less stress as the plant has no time really to recover properly. Some plants will take to it better than others

are those from clone? how do you guys keep 'em so small?

these were topped, still fighting off these deficiencies, once these are done switching back to filtered water

blue pit left, dog right, stinky ladies.

I've gotta ask, why skip the veg period? IMO you're screwing yourself out of a larger harvest..
Is it just impatience, or am I completely missing something to this style of grow?

I'll try answering this, but know that I know nothing of the subject other than what I've read on this thread, and I've forgotten most of that. Looong thread, but your question was answered somewhere back there. My take is that this is just one way of doing things, of getting faster results with smaller plants and, yes, less yield. It's not for everyone, but it's been a great read for me and one that I'll try. There may even be comparisons with autoflowers back there.

faster, better for smaller spaces, less electricity, can go perpetual. its like autoflower growing but u get all the genetics of regular plants. Personally, I like it because its stealthier and I like multiple harvests per year with different strains in a small space. Obviously if your growing commercially then this is not what you do. But its prob my favourite tech for personal use
