Hi Del666,
Hope your well.
I have 14 babies that are about 9 days from seed.
I had them incubating under floros in my Phototron for that amount of time and they all geminated nicely.
Yesterday I transpanted all of them into 2 gallon airpots and placed them in my tent under 360 watt HP on 12/12.
I have 2 monster Super Lemon Hazes in there as well. They just needed a little more time. So the Super Lemon Hazes are bumping the glass and the babies are about 2 -3 feet from the light.
How does this sound so far? Do you have any suggestions.
if need be i can harvest thoses lemons anytime really.

 

[wiganlad25]

will the yield still be same if you start from 12/12.

is their any difference from 18/6

all looks fine to me, dont see a need to cut the lemon yet, just have to watch those young ones dont stretch, all you can do is give them as much food and light as possible..,, you say those small ones are in 2 gallon pots.....thats slightly different to uk gallons isnt it......i know someone said but my useless memory...how tall are those lemons? long flowering time too arent they?

18/6 for how long? if a short veg period then id say there wouldnt be much gain, more leaves maybe.....

Just vegged some Kush and Blueberry and Pineapple Express. I'm definitely trying this 12/12 from seed thing. I think it's a great idea.

Yeah it usually takes 12-12 from seed and auto plants about 2-3 weeks to get into flowering right? So going 18/6 the first couple weeks instead of 12-12 would get you 1 extra weeks time. I wonder if that would be more stressful to the plant than 12-12 from seed though?

 

[wiganlad25]

im going to try 12/12 on a 600w hps from seed with bf blue cheese.
just wondered will i still get as much yield as a 18/6 5 weeks veg and 8 weeks flowering

How can you ask if you will get the same yield with 6 hours less light every day for 5 weeks? No it will be less, but it might not be less enough to keep you from doing it again, there are pros and cons to 12-12 from seed just like there are pros and cons to 18/6 from seed.

But yes 12-12 from seed will get you less yield. Now as far as an auto on 18/6 the entire lifespan or the same stain without auto on 12-12 from seed, I have no idea

im not sure there wouldl be a gain worth talking about but i guess yo could try it and give us your opinion.........

Brilliant thread - why have I only just found this lol. Subbed for sure! Ive just recently started a grow. Quite a few of them on the go but 3 of them are Bubblelicious Auto that are on 12/12 from seed. Only 4 days in at the moment since germanation.

 

[Xcon]

I started 8 of them under 24/0 cfls in party cups for 10 days. Transplanted into 1 gal beach buckets (non-toxic) with ocean forest on day 11 for their 12/12 cycle. Using GH flora series 1:2:3. male/female was 50/50 so now I've got 4 fems under 400w hps

They're 3½ weeks into flower and getting bigger than I expected, I think I'm going to skip veg from now on. Still waiting for my air pots to come, can't wait to play with those

hi mate......what made you decide to 12-12 autos? are all your plants autos?

hello mate,got some air pots but not convinced for 12-12 from seed............you using reg seeds then...you prefer regs? any breeding? plants are looking good.

New to the site and this is my first sub. Del, i got some Ultra sonja seeds that are one week into growth about 2 inches tall from seed, im curious about the 12/12 from seed grow... How strong is your nutrient mix for seedlings going into flower, do u have one? Is it too late for me to start flowering? I still have the round leaves and two triangle leaves that just appeared. I have plenty of other strains that im going to flower and needed to get rid of some strains im keeping as mothers. The ultra sonja is being dumped so i figured why not try this method with those seeds.

My setup:

4x8 grow tent
3x6 flood tray
5 in net pots
hydroton
75 gallon resevoir
2 water pumps
1 1000 watt hps mh switchable ballast split to run two 600 watt bulbs at 500 watts each.

Nutrients:

Advanced nutes:
Sensi A/B
Hammerhead 4/10
bud ignitor
bud candy
big bud overdrive

General hydro:

Maxibloom
Koolbloom liquid
koolbloom Dry
Floralicous plus
Subculture M

Boticare's aquashield
Purple Maxx

Best advice you can give please Del regarding these guys i got from seed. What of these nutes should i use if any? How long should i use them or when should i start?

I like your idea about using your veg light for the first weeks of stretch to keep node length down... anyways cant wait to hear from ya!

I prefer good genetics, I've got 4 mango diesel vegging outside in my garden, and that's supposed to be a SD mom behind that plant under cfls, I just used my favorite bagseed to fill out the gaps. 12/12 from clone would be ideal for me.

I'm going to use airpots for my mothers and possibly in a flood table down the road.
