I just want to remind all the 12x12fs about eye protection around the HID lights. I did not know about that and had to have the cataracts removed from my eyes. I'm sure age had something to do with it also.

Whats up gordon?


You will be running an 'actual' 272 watts correct?

The 1200 you quoted above is the "comparable" claimed wattage correct? Not the actual wattage...... ? ? ?

Haven't yet peeked at your pics if you've posted any, but I'd recommend keeping those cfl's 1-2 inches away from the plant canopy max!.........Makes an incredible difference in internode tightness and also in the bud production.


Again, I haven't seen your set-up, so apologies if I am preaching to the choir.


good luck on your new lighting :bigjoint:



Yes thats correct. an my pics will be posted tomorrow when lights come on :)

This time Big Bomb reg seeds so all up I hope to get a plant or two.

Last year was my first 12x12 grow and I pulled two nice beauties (posted this back in december 2011). I hope to do better this time with different 12/12 seeds. we will see I guess.

Hi folks- any thoughts on the best Skunk #1 from Attitude for a 12/12 grow. Been fixated on that strain for a while, but there are so many different versions from different breeders that I am at a loss. I see some of you have had very good luck with Skunk1, but no details on the specific variety. Thanks for any info. Cheers!

G13 Labs are usually decent, as too are Sensi Seeds.

I believe the closest to the original skunk #1 that Sam the Skunkman dabbled with would be a strain called shit. Mr. Nice carries it. It does not have Columbian Gold in it. The Acapulco Gold and Afghani was unstable at times so Columbian Gold was added to the mix. Another great version of skunk#1 would be positronics version but its not found on the tude. Maybe on sea of seeds. Sannies used positronics version of skunk #1 and mixed it with their herijuana to create that awesome strain called Anesthesia.

Yo guys i have a question, if you start 12/12 from seed with reg fem seeds, do the plants auto-flower? I'm curious because logically they would flower as soon as they are mature enough which would be about 3 weeks to a month from seed if not earlier, is this correct?

correct, they will flower when they are mature enough.. automatically.. but are not "autoflowering" by definition.

the most infamous skunk #1 will be the exodus cheese, the clone only, do not bother with greenhouse seeds version. the clone is out there but can be tricky to get hold of..

breeders boutique offer some great clone only crosses.. closest thing to the original exo is apparently the dipsy ellsy

http://www.breedersboutique.co.uk/site/seed-details.php?id=12

it has the influence from both the exodus cheese and psychosis which are similar, and apparently the majority of pheno's are cheese leaning.

good luck

Just be nice to your plants. Shows them lots of love and when they are sleeping ... leave them to sleep. I use coco so it pretty easy overall. I only grow once every year ... so I have to hope my crop turns out.

Im also giving 12/12 from seed a shot.

I only joined RIU for this thread thanks del :)

Im running 2 Prakasa Leds (3rd grow with them Im happy) with a 125w 2700k cfl in a DS60 mk2
6" RVK & CF
Passive intake

I started off with a WW Auto, Chocolope and a Ceres Purp but the chocolope hermed on day 17 so I replaced that with a Big Buddha Cheese, Im now on day 25 but the pic is from day 23,their all in Bio-Bizz Light Mix and will be fed their nute range as Ive done the last few years.

The WW Auto is in the 6L planter the other 2 are in 3.5L pots.
The pic of the tent is a previous grow of old regs that all turned out male of the 3 that germed lol

My most recent seed showed pistils on its 17th day from seed. Is this good or bad? Or will it slow down on growing now?
Yep thats totaly fine and normal for some strains,they will only flower once hitting maturity so all good.
It will start the flowering stretch now and double in size maybe more.

Haha , i used to smoke fags but then the price was stupid , i cut down on my weed now aswell but thats just because my supplies are low haha . Im only smoking 3- 4 spliffs a day at minute and i only use half a fag a spliff so a 10 deck sees me the week ! rather have the volcano though :P
I can't believe people still mix tobacco into their dubs!!! That's just crazy! To me(and probably every Canadian) that is totally wasting good herb! That's like pissing in a good scotch, or mixing water with a good glass of wine.

Weed is intended to be enjoyed on its own, not to be mixed with shitty chemical covered tobacco. And I am not bias at all ... I smoke 20 to 30 cigarettes a day, but would NEVER mix with my herbs.

I mix tobacco and cannabis, simply because it means I don't smoke as much as usual. It's either 1 cig per hour or 1 joint every 2-4 hours or 1 blunt(pure joint) until I wake up...
Besides, a pure joint smoke is of a higher temperature than normal tobacco and a tobacco joint. This is why there is water in a bong, you try lugging on a dry bong, it's rancid.

Well I will say it looks like my seeds may live now.They do have green on them now.I think I had it to cool to start with,something hindered them,they just started growing a little. I threw them on some hydroton on the first.This is my third grow and the first 2 were so easy I got real lax this time so there are many things that could have slowed it down.Have a good day!
