Quite interested in this myself. I would think your chances would be better if you could at least get them to a pint sized pot and then transplant; otherwise, it could be a bitch keeping them watered (weed plants' roots need to breathe, planting right up on a stream and you wont come up with...
Hmm...that's interesting. I guess I can see the "short and up" aspect if space is limited. But if its a matter of fitting more plants in, why not go sea of green with fewer plants that have a larger root system?
Or maybe 12/12 is just more economical for some?
If I understand right, 12 on, 12 off? Curious as to why, but beside that point. 6500k to "start" (veg), 2700 to "finish" (flower). Personally, I just use HPS throughout but I do the usual 16/8 thing.
Good luck and let us know how this goes.
Bro, you'll get a lot more respect and some serious answers if you don't post like we are idiots.
As to your question I think you will end up with serious stretched hermies. As you hinted at, that is a serious drop in lumens during veg and the plants will do what they can to get closer to that...
I use Aza and have for the past couple of grows. My water is constant in its ph (I know what needs added at this point) so I treat my water after adding aza and have not had a problem.
And an overall pic. The hood I modified myself using the six inch inline fan, some tin and the prefab you see on the lamp itself. It is suspended by some old cat5 ethernet cable I had. I found the cable was slack enough but strong enough to support the rig. The result is the cat5 acts as a...
Whoops...couple other pertinent variables. Seeds are my own from a grow two years ago. They seem pretty hardy, produce nice trichs and stay female, for the most part...hahaha
Keeping my water at ph6.5 and have the youngins in fox farms' Oceans soil.
I've been away from this site for a while but was growin just the same. ;)
Under a new handle and working on season 5. Had a tough time getting my seeds to germ this year.
Only got three solid out of fifteen seeds, but they seem to be coming along okay.
Over my past few seasons, I have gone...
