The 12-12 From Seed Thread

[BBbubblegum]

Little Update. Decided to take one more look at one them. Found pistils on my biggest plant.

Potency is determined by genetics, not your light schedule
The only difference between 12-12 fs and a normal veg would be yield.



Lolz you bitch

LOL....what an in-depth and insightful reply. NOW....any real growers wanna chime in here?

He's right though... The potency won't change, just the yield. Well, at least from my hours upon hours of research, that is what I'm lead to believe.

All that 12/12 from seed does is shorten the length of time that you're growing for. They can and do finish as quick as auto flowers.

Good Morning 12x12fs Here's to everybody having a great growth spurt today 4" at least! Peace

In my experience potency is the same. Not sure if I qualify as a "real grower" though. I can only imagine what the requirements on that are.

The last lot 12-12 i grew was the best ive ever grown, smell, taste and potency. I even had someone say it was the best they've had in England, granted it was bird and she had no idea what she was talking about but still good to hear.

Lol.. Of course you qualify Jig.I've seen alot of your posts and you seem to give pretty good info. Thanks

Yea...they usually dont know what they're talking about. In any case....thanks for the info.I think I'm gonna sprout some of these berry bombs and a couple of these ice bombs i got and go 12/12. Hope it works out. One question though.....is that a dead dog in your avatar? LOL

These are just short of 3 weeks of flowering and most are starting to pack on some weight

was that plant topped?

 

[TrueMarleyMan]

I also take it that topping and lst are pretty much irrelevant in terms of making a sizeable difference in yield when going 12/12. Correct me if I'm wrong though

Lst is still useful. Topping is not a great idea because the plant will have no veg time to recover.

Also +rep to Jig, Violator, and hsfkush....Thanks for the help

One day hopefully I can be a "real grower" just like you brother jig

Thanks bubblegum. I kind of figured that but thanks for the confirmation. I think I'll just let it grow natural here so i dont completely F up anything as this will be my first time trying 12/12. Then I'll have something to compare next grow to in case I choose to lst.

It helps to know what kind of genetics you are working with. Not to mention a myriad of factors (lights, temps, blah blah) to take into consideration.

Sure, training can definitely increase yield.

I've topped all the ones I've got going at the minute. The c99 is 28inches tall and the Lemon Kush is 31inches tall. Ironic considering the C99 is heavy sativa and the lemon kush is indica dom. Lemon stretch almost 4 times it's size. Quite remarkable.

Probably would've been leaving it. I was going to top mine, but only to clone it.

Yeah fim'd this lot now and they seem fine. Just need to get the timing right

I topped my Lemon Kush at the 3rd internode and it grew 5 tops. 2 of them are huge, 2 more are smaller but a decent size and the last one just didn't really do much, it's about 6 inches tall, I was thinking about getting rid of it but never got round to it lol. I was too busy fixing the magnesium deficiency on my c99 and wondering why my other two were actually full on flowering at 4 weeks from seed. All of my others have been at 6-8 weeks from seed before they flower. Could pot size play a part in how quickly it flowers?

^^^Even 4 weeks from seed is kinda late. What were you growing that took 6-8 weeks to flower? This was 12/12 from seed?^^^
