How long from germination does it take you guys on average to harvest?
I’m at 2 weeks old tomorrow and they are working on their 3rd nodes

From sprout to chop, 80 to 100 days, some strains will go longer. If you want something quick, grow Indica or Indica dominant strains of course.
With the exception of Cinderella 99, it’s quick for a Sativia dominant strain, and good stuff too. That’s what my avatar is, C99.
Do the Indica dominant strains finish in 80 days or is it less?
Do Indicas still give a good yield? And do you recommend a good Indica strain for quick finish 12/12 from seed

I’m sure there’s a few strains out there that do.
The dilemma here is what you the grower considers done. Not everyone likes the speedy, hyped up effects of buds chopped with clear trichs, and not everyone wants to be stuck to the couch from the effects of buds chopped with all amber trichs. So it’s pretty much a personal decision on ‘when’ they’re finished.
Myself, I consider most strains that I grow done when trichs are 60% to 70% milky and the rest amber, for an in between effect. There is the fact that Indica strains give you the couch lock effects, but Sativa strains can too if left to where the trichs are mostly amber. And vice-versa, Indica’s can be speedy if harvested with a lot of clear trichs.
But overall, you can expect most strains to go close to 100 days when starting 12/12 from seed. In my post above, I meant to put 90 to 100.
And of course, this is all ‘In my experience and my opinion.

I vegged my photos for 90+ days and started 12/12 3 days ago... Another 100 days for me???

Lol, no. I said around 100 days from sprout to chop when starting under 12/12.
What strain do ya have? Most are at least 8 to 9 weeks, so 56 to 63 days.
Myself I don’t start counting flowering days until I see flowers first start forming. Some people start counting as soon as they see a hair.

There's so many to choose from lol
All my recent grows are in DWC
going back a few runs, here's the sour tangie mother - under about 300-400 watts of COB and LED mix
This is one of the LVTK x Sour Tangie girls that I harvested a week ago (excuse the late cycle mess, its clean now i swear). Grown under about 200W of quantum boards
I don't normally run one one strain at a time, i like variety

this is kind of a crappy pic, but its GPS Pebble Pusher, grown under 600W HPS, pretty sure Gu still uses it as his pic for the strain online.
More Bounty Hunter F2 (600W HPS)
run after run at 12/12 from seed, if I veg, my plants grow up through the roof of the tent. nuff said
Running currently in this tent - Bag of Oranges X Sour Strawberries (front) NL5/Haze (rear)

in recent memory, cult classic's super silver sage was pretty much like that, but a lot of the sativa's I've ran tend to, if I'm understanding that question correctly.
What yield are you getting from 12/12 from seed?
I see del saying he gets 3oz avg is that 3oz from a 1sqft plant doing only 12/12 from seed? That would be insane

In 2g smartpots I would avg 2 1/2 to 3oz’s.
But I got a little over 4oz’s in a 5g with Shoreline’s Crippy-
This is one plant, no larf-
My hydro pots are 1ft apart did this plant of yours take up only 1 ft of space?

I had 9 plants evenly spaced in a 4x4, so they were taking about 16”x16”. But there’s things that you can do to keep plants smaller. Cut back the amount of light they receive, keep temps lower than ideal, etc.
You’ll just have to try a few different strains for yourself and get a feel for what they do and what they don’t do. Some strains don’t seem to like growing 12/12 from seed, and will stay small even with perfect conditions.
I’m trying to figure out the most efficient way to use my space.
Do you think removing all the fan leaves every week or two and leaving all the bud sites forming into single colas will effect the yield much?
I wonder if it’s possible to get 2-3 oz base ball bats
I’m running a test run where I take all fan leaves off every week also root prune every week from week 1 to week 7 then I’ll put them in final flower room for final 5 weeks untouched
