If your talking about total time start to finish 9 weeks I would have to say no, but if your flowering only time is 9 weeks then I would say its possible if you don't run into any problems and you have alot of females.

From seed to harvest 8 weeks and in my pipe in one more week. This is a 12/12 grow from start to finish so only 8 weeks of flower time with no veg time.

Well my test runs this summer in 8 1/2 weeks I can have 24" tall plants in 16 oz cups. And each female will produce from 20g to 35g.



Here are the 15 I just started. I am also keeping track here. https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journals/151253-12-12-seed-harvest-1-a.html

So tell me what you think.
First of all if you grew the mother in the pic then you should know that if you grow 24 in plants in 16oz dixie cups they will be weak,skinny and rootbound if they live!If you transplant and 12/12 you may make it ,like doalude said with all fem's and a whole lot of luck!!I'm not trying to be a dick or a pessomist but without clones and a whole lot of growing experience there's little chance.Good luck:weed:

I would have to say no, I grew an ak47 from seed 12/12 all the way and at 8 weeks it was no where near being ready. I would let the plant tell you how much time it needs not the other way around. If you set the time table instead of the plant you won't get the quantity or the quality that you could have not to mention the time and effort you put into........but thats just my opinion..............its your painting.......paint it the way you want it.

you think your gonna get 20 g a plant running straight from 12/12? have you done it before?
Yep one strain (Strawberry Jam) will grow to about 20" and produce just under 1 oz.

and the other strain (Donkey Dick) grows fast to up to 30" but most stop at 26". With a yeld of upto 35g but most hit at 29-30g.

On the surface most of this seems true but, They will have about 3/8" dia base. No root bound they will be small so I'll water about 3 time a day and at peek 4 times.

Yell I grew the mothers ther sister clones. about 1/2 way thru flower.

If you transplant and 12/12 you may make it ,like doalude said with all fem's and a whole lot of luck!!

In 18 to 22 day's I'll know the sex. At this point I will dump the boys and transplant to 1 gal pots. (if I have room)

Most likely half will be boys. I all ways get 60% boys and 40% girls. I'd like to see that stat change. In the past I've had zero problem transplanting at this time (hell I've transplanted 3 weeks to harvest. 45" monster in 1 gal pot to 12" pot) just be carefull.

I'm not trying to be a dick or a pessomist but without clones and a whole lot of growing experience there's little chance.
I've done this with clones and I get a little less product about 5 grams less and it takes two extra weeks for the clones to root. Yes it does start bigger but Your two weeks behind with less dry bud weight. Oh the clone are alot less work and every damn one is a girl So yes clone are better. But I'm moving in april and the grow needs to finish first. I don't have the extre time for clones so seed with 50% males it is.

Good luck:weed:
Thanks

my strains will be ready in 8 week they just all ways grows the same. but as i'm only growing 15 plants and half will be boys that leaves 7 girls at 1 oz each this grow will net just under half a pound.

But if my boy girl stats go high to the girl side I may get 3/4 lb.

gotta see this 16 oz cup trick, you could be onto something man... but im thinking those cups are going to stop your plant short at the 12-20 inch mark and yield alot less than your talking, idk i guess well see....

I've got them to about 30" (my record) with a 35g dry harvest.

Most stop at 26"

Yes they are very top heavy and double at water time when the soil drys.
