If you start plants from seed at a 12-12 light cycle how long is it usually between when they sprout and when they start to show flowers?

you enticed me I thought there were going to be pictures from start to finish! Yar!! Maybe a few weeks to determine sex.

i use to do 12-12 from seed real good if your only growing for personall or limited space..or many other reason...yea the yeild is small..but i did 4 plants an yeilded 2.5oz dry total...showed sex in under 2weeks...imo its all good...peace az

yea i knew yield would be small if done like that, i just didnt know how long before i'd have to look out for those damn balls heh

sorry if i got you excited about pictures, heh, i love looking at grow journals too

actually I read a HUGE thread on another forum about 12/12, and im pretty sure early finishing sativas are FINE to put on 12/12 and will still get about a foot tall and with the right lights get you and ounce or a little more off each baby.

what about late sativas, that take like 14 wks, how would they do

Think of it this way, if you were to put a 14 week finishing sativa seed 12/12 from start, it would probably still take about 14 weeks, all your doing when you put it on 12/12 is completely skipping the veg stage, the plant grows, but will only get between half a foot to a foot tall..... I say with a good hps on top and some cfls for side lighting, you would have no problem pulling off some good yields.


The only problem is finding a sativa seed that finishes early, I mean could you imagine putting a 45-60 day sativa seed 12/12 right off the bat? You would have great bud in less than 2 months, compared to the average, 1 month veg, 2 month bud process.

Ill look around on the net and see if I can find the article......


And anyone hops in this thread can help me find the earliest finishing sativa, ill run a journal from start to finish 4 everyone

oooh now you got me interested heh
i'm about to get my search on here in a few minutes

burmese specifically says dont veg too long to avoid height problems,
so not vegging at all might work heh

mmm... early sativa, its listed as an outdoor strain but it would work.

i'll keep looking, the avg shortest i've seen is about 45 days.

edit: maybe fast freddie, 45 days and up to 100g
