1/4 perlite 3/4 soil mixture
Mix of 27K and 65K lights
12/12 from seed:

Approx. Day 16



The bad thing is i have trouble controlling the temperature and i can't do much to fix it, don't tell me to buy a A/C unit because nothing like that is possible. Temps range from 75 to 90.

the plant in the can is extremely week for some reason, i don't expect it to make it much, but keeping it just for the hell of it.

I've had alot of set backs that hurt the plants for the first 5 or so days of their lives... i think it would be going better had it started better, but we'll see what happens. Be back in a few days to update.

UPDATE:
DAY 20:
Out of the six plants:
- 2 of them have grown fast, about twice their size in 5 days.
---One of those two is a male, but it looks like it's a good plant so it may be used for seed production.
- pulled up The short one that had a messed up stem because it has been getting worse everyday day.
- The one that is about 5 or 6 days younger than the rest in the can has grown triple it's size

So now - 5 plants, one male, the others unknown, and 2 plants are beating the others by 2 to 4 inches

Sorry, no pictures yet

CUT THE MALES!! lol, I think your problem lies with small pots, hard for plants to gow in small pots. I would try and get real 1-5 gallon pots to put them in, besides that you should start feeding them! they need lots of food to auto-flower. I would give them bone meal (5$ at Walllmart MG organic brand), to help them flower organicly. Also If you are going 12/12 from seed dont mix spectrums 65K is for veg 27K is for flower. So take away the 65K's and replace them with more 27K's if you want them to bud. Best of luck...

this is nonsense, kindly disregard.
I wouldn't have gone 12/12 from seed though, MIS is a naturally short stocky plant. I've grown it myself.

woulda never started 12/12, 18/6 for veg, 12/12 for flower, not tryin to be mean i did the same thing two months ago, and now just doing the latter with amazing results. good luck man?

Ever tried farming not high? Its boring as shit!!

well i've tried and failed two 12/12 from seed grows BUT they were both awesome except the first was just one plant = male, tossed it, and the second made stupid mistake of not hanging lights sturdy = fell on all over the plants for hours.
if you think 12/12 from seed is bad check out randy rocket's stuff, and not to sound like a dick but if i wanted to 18/6 veg first then i would be.... which when i get more money i'll probably do both types of grows to see which is best for me...
and yeah, using 27k and 65k lights is a dual spectrum which is good for 12/12 from seed....

please only give me information from your own experiences and not what you've read....

thanks all for checking out the thread... updates with pic's soon if short term memory loss allows...

use straight 24 for cfl for at least 3 weeks before going into flowering. 65k spectrum do not introduce 27k until plants has some stability

18/6 is ok but straight 24 is much more rapid growth and proven not to stress plants due to many peoples misconceptions but you can always go into 18/6 a week before 12/12 to ease into the light change as i do.

buy bigger cfl they make single 250 actual watts now little one are better for side lighting it is lot less clutter and bigger cfl`s are 65$ on ebay i bought a few they work great.


just my 2cents

I remember why i didn't come to this site for a few weeks.... everyone thinks they are right, and that you need to use their set up and system of growing...

i mean, i'm obviously doing 12/12 from seed because i've done my homework on it... you go do your 24/0 18/6 whatever veg ways, and i'll keep doing my thing...

If you're not going to give me suggestions and pointers for my grow, which is a 12/12 grow, then give me none at all...

This may sound harsh but you're wasting your time and my time telling me otherwise...

And 23 watt CFL's work fine when you know how to hang them 2 inches away from the plant

-------------------------

the Five plants are like 24 days in, and 2 (probably more) already show sex, and 2 are growing very rapidly while the others are certainly starting to speed up, i think i'm doing okay...

Hmm... oops... haha... i'll see how it turns out, there are more MIS seeds...

well, how was the bud from it? got any pics?

And yeah i'd get more bud if i didn't go 12/12... but with some TLC it's possible to get a decent amount for the time spent...
