How is it possible to make such a big plant straight on 12/12, she's biggest than some of mine who were vegged for a few weeks? I really don't understand how you get such big plant without veg time, i'm sure i'm not the only one here. Do you have a lot of wattage?
I first got into 12/12 from seed after reading the 12/12 from seed thread that Del6666 created a while back. It's a great way to grow multiple strain with perpetual grow style with only 1 grow room. It works great with SS.
After a few try at 12/12 from seed, (has only been about 6 months since doing this way) I found a great way to yield really well without vegging(the plants will still ''veg'' for 30-40 days). You need a perfect start, good strain(some strain dont do as well, recently I have come to realise that pure indica really dont seem to like this style of growing, further testing is needed) and lots of light. The most important thing is BIG container early on, so a lot of grower would find this inconvenient. By early on I mean from seedling (from 16oz container straight into a 7gallons is what I do...), right now I have a few that I started too early that are going to be too big by the time they get in the big container (lack of space in the budding room...) so I might veg these ones because they will start flowering without a solid root structure deep in the SS. The idea in my opinion is to get the plant to develop a great root structure ASAP, then when they start budding they just go for it. You can read through my journal, I have grown great big plant that didnt yield as well because I was away from home and ... but you would be amaze at how big they were considering I didnt veg them.
My first attempt I was using MH/HPS (2x400W) and I got fairly small plants, but it was my first time doing it so I dont know for sure but I have a feeling that it works better with LEDs since they do so well in the vegging department.
This plant is my best 12/12 from seed yield so far, 1/4 lbs dry (High Grade Sativa). I don't know why people are still saying that LEDs dont work because they clearly do, whether as good better or worst than HPS, thats debatable, I agree, but saying they dont work? really?
pics were about 3 weeks before harvest time, she was in a 3x3 tent with many others, the total harvest was 12 oz, 540 watts Fero light at full strenght for roughly 40 days of the grow, I did the ''vegging'' (first 30-40 days) at about 200-300 watts.
If you got more question, PM me or swing by my journal, this is getting off topic for the TGA section...
that timewreck looks frosty! love it. looking forward to seeing that Alien og chopped
