Also this may be a stupid question, but i see how a lot of strains using 12/12 are taking longer than what i normally thought they would. Example, say you are flowering a 7-9 week strain, is this strain going to be done in 7-9 weeks or since you aren't vegging it at all is it going to take longer? I know this is probably a really stupid question, but i went through this entire thread and it seems as though no one has finished in say 56 to 63 days.. they all seem to be finishing around 11 weeks or so... if anyone has an examples of finishing in less than that i would love to see them. I was hoping to do 12/12 to conserve my space and have a faster turn around on harvest. thanks again

anyone have any suggestions at all?

Sow if you figure an ounce per plant then that would be simple math. Not sure what light set up you have so just figure 1/2 oz per plant. The cups I use are like Randy uses, clear cups surrounded by a cup to sleeve them in. Since you can see the roots that way it is easy to see when it is time to transplant. I use 2 litre coke bottles myself after transplanting from the solo cups.

Randy had a 430 hps that produced @ 1oz per plant if that gives you some idea. This is my first try at it so not sure what to expect with a 1000hps and a vertical grow.

sow look at it this way if u dont go 12-12 from seed u would most likely be vegging for like a month aleast so take that time away from the 10-11 weeks and u still have a quicker turnaround. plus finish times have alot to do with strain, most guys are growing indica sativa cross with a lot of sativa in them so that will push the finish date back further than your straight indica. atleast this is my assumption of what trend your talking about.

and finish times posted on sites are always when grown at optimal conditions. we try but not many of us achieve a perfect grow room.

I guess im gonna try to do about 500 watts using cfls and see how that works out. thanks for all the suggestions. keep us updated on how ur grow goes

Well sadly out of five clones I only have 4, one just would not root ??? The pictures included are the clones 11 days into 12\12... Not as good as i was hoping for, but i think its just how i have my lights setup. Also could someone point me to a real good CFL post. I am very interested but i want more info

I dont know if anyone else will feel the same but i think this is wierd. The clones i am using are from two different pants and i have 2 clones from each left, but the wierd thing is is one of the clones went straight to flowering by day 11 but the other clone from the same plant is still veggin whats the deal i know this is not bad but is it normal? Sorry the pictures are crappy the lighting from the HPS makes it hard to get a clear pic

Are your clones from a female mother plant I assume? It isn't weird for them to start at different times, even though they came from the same mother plant.

I think I have shocked mine or stunted them or something. They are at a standstill at the moment after transplanting them. I cut the roots up the side of them in three places but I think I went up too high with them. Also didn't have the Fox Farms soil since I have to go out of town to get it and didn't go.

They are drinking their nutrients but just not growing any now. Unfortunately they are at a seperate location than me so I don't live with them. But fortunately I have back ups.
