The 12/12 From Seed Club, Show off Your Girls

So newb here, about to begin my first grow. I've been looking everywhere for ideas to keep the indica I'm planting short and wide, as well how to get the quickest results. I am definitely going using 12/12 to grow the girl. I have been reading a lot an yet have not found an answer (maybe it is in the middle of the thread however I neither have the time not patience to find it).

Basically I'm wonding with:
-Northern Lights indica
-indoor grow
-75 degrees
-10,000lm of LED light
-natural soil mixture
-12/12
-good nutrition/watering

About how much should I expect for a yield?
And is there anything I can/should change to increase my yield given these conditions?

Thanks

It's impossible to tell how much you'll yield until it's ready to chop. You lose about 70% of the weight through drying, so if you end up with 3oz wet, you'll be looking at about 1oz dry.

With the part I've put in bold in the quote, if you haven't "time or patience" then growing isn't for you. It requires you to have patience as it could be detrimental to your end product. If you're saying that simply because you want everything handed to you on a plate, then you'll not get that either.
I'm not trying to be a dick or anything, I'm just trying to put you on the right path.

i don't think anyone mentioned leds in this thread, but i am going to put some 18 days old plants in 12/12 with a 120w and 90w tri-band (1w r/b/o) lights in a couple of days. also have a 130w 6400k cfl on stanby. edit: not sure if the cfl at that colour temp is needed though.. and the tent is only 2'x3'.

This is day 68

Lucy thinks the plants are too big and late.

I want to look for light leaks (don't think we have any)

We don't find any but as this is the first grow with the lights off at daylight (grown at night when I'm home to watch). I have added more light proofing.

and both grow kittens help.

She holds the flap in place so I can tape.

I have seen someone do very well with WWxBB from female seeds doing 12/12 from seed

here's my latest bubblebomb, just seeded 1 bud it with a kiwi skunk...

and high tension , also 1 bud seeded with kiwi skunk..

I still cant get into the cloning thing yet yep, thats right ive been growing for 10 years and i DO NOT CLONE, YET anyway. 12/12 from seed has been my mantra for ever i guess.

lol, much better with a white backround(im learning camera as i go lol), constantly struggle with getting the most outa my elph powershot but i figured 16 megapixels should be fine?

seedling vegged for 14 days and started 12-12 today. I have about 30 going around the edge of a 10 gal. tub or so. never grew from seed befor nor have i 12-12 early. I am looking for some insight on what to expect. should i thin out the tub? defoliate? any way here are some pics. 250w over tub and other light is a 600wView attachment 3012935View attachment 3012939

Here is a pic from yesterday of my 12/12 from seed grow. Read rockets thread on it and del6666s thread and wanted to start. This is on there 3rd day of 12/12.( the larger ones were about 9 days older)

Heres a pic of the plants just after they ate breakfast and got a little misting.

Would try to keep as much foliage thinned as possable. You want full light penetration. Because light diminishes in spectrum the further it is from the filament. I would try a vertical hanging bulb with that. Maybe drop in down the middle of em.

Is this thread pretty much dead now? Anyone still around from when it started...in 2009!?!?

I was wondering the same thing. It went a year with no posts so I think it's dead at this point.

You could always try to revive it by posting pics of your grow in here though. I like to watch the 12/12 from seed grows but I don't grow that anymore due to plant count.

I agree this thread needs to stay alive.

Maybe if I post some pics from my experiment some folks might come back? I have a ton of questions I would love to ask people that were on here.

Revive this shit!

I've never run from 12/12 but I have a couple plants in 12/12 right now. I was thinking about tossing another plant in with them and 12/12 it from seed.

Here are a few pics from my experiment:
