Am a newbie doing as much research as possible before i go ahead and do my first grow.

Perhaps the reason it worked for del is the fact he uses it throughout flower where as my pal used it only for week 6 and 7.

WELL....Hello le effect.. i like your french sounding name.. paris is one of my favorite places on the planet. Welcome to Riu and one of the best threads on riu. here you will find lots of really nice people who are very very knowledgeable about growing , especially 12/12 style growing. Do what delboy recommends with Hammerhead, he is a master grower. Your freind on the other hand sounds like he is not the best grower to be learning from. Why dont you just unlearn what he has taught you and learn from some people who really know what is going on.. and have pretty pictures to present with the results.
have a nice day

Thanks for the warm welcome Doc.

i havent grown before but helped my pal out on his grow and i must admit, i dont think he had a clue what he was doing. He had 41 plants vegged for 3 weeks and only pulled 33 oz dry.

his methods were total madness, even to me as a total newbie but he just wouldnt listen. lol.

Once am up and running am hoping to piss him off with some nice big cola's of my own.

I am leaning more to 12/12 from seed, am at the point now of just deciding what seeds to order.

woah ! prob would of pulled the same yield with 10 plants if he had done it right especially with the 3 weeks veg !! 1st thing i learnt on here mate is its not the amount of plants its the amount of lights that produce yield , you can pull more with 4 plants under a 600w than with 10 plants under a 1000w if you know what to look out for and learn correctly how to grow :) del could easily pull 40oz off 10 - 12 bubblebombs 12/12 from seed .. that would really piss ya mate off hahaha

THose plants look great. There is some nitrogen deficiency but be greatful for it. At that stage of flowering, I prefer having that much nitrogen deff. Makes the plant really push its PK.
 
Soooo many pages, not enough time so I have a most likely redundant question.....

What strains respond best to 12/12 from seed?? And do sativas fair better? Or indicas?

from what I have read indicas do the best in 12/12. Right now I have ak48. Del is using lemon skunk and thc bomb. Just look at his pictures and dream.

Hey guys, so I have had these gals in pots for about 3 weeks, almost, since they popped out of the grow plugs. I have only one more week that I can veg, due to time restrictions and I wonder If I just end up flipping them tomorrow if they will technically be like a 12/12 from seed grow. I wonder this because your guys plants dont look too tall and I was worried about height, will mine get too tall since they have been growing for 3 weeks on 18/6? I was gonna top but I dont have enough time to let them recover before I switch them over. And Im not experienced in bending and if that will actually help my yield, in this case at least. So what do you guys think, If I flip now all natural, will I get a decent yield like you guys are or will they get too tall for my 400w hps to penetrate down to the lower branches. Here they are, these were taken a few days ago, they have grown a bit in the last few days, especially that PE. Top left is Pinnapple Express, Top right is L.A. confidential, and bottom two is Afghan Kush. Any help thx guys!

I would flip them now. They will grow considerably and you will have medicine much faster. Just try and take two clones from each plant in two weeks and veg them until you harvest these if you can.

If I tie these down and flip tommorrow, do you think that will help with yield?

They are too small to tie down really. I would top them now, and flip the lights. Your yield will be much better with those girls, assuming they are all girls, if you make the entire canopy even, and have multiple colas.

I'm running into some plant problems. Any idea what is wrong and how I could easily fix this? I am using hesi coco and hesi pk, ph at 5.8. It is happening to both of my plants.
Looks like MG def, if its N def then the whole leaf goes light green when viens remain dark green and leaf margins go light green then too me its MG def. Hesi nutes dont have enough MG in them so you need to add supplements of cal/mag. Saying that your girls dont look to far off finishing if you can get some cal/mag or epsom salt then add it if not then you know to add it next time.
 
It's been a week since my last post. I had to put my mj plant into a forest because my mum found out I was growing. I am going to go water her today and see how she is going. I will post a pic and also a vid that I think some of you will find very amusing!!! Watch this space...........
