The 12-12 From Seed Thread

[Frank Nitty]

Gorilla glue #4 x chocolate diesel,Gelato 45 x chocolate diesel, 12-12 from seed,day 4-5... GG4 is stretching out,but the G45 is moving slow as molasses... Big pots cause im gonna mainline/manifold them... This GG4 has so much potential!!! This was my first go round with her... Couldn't finish her cause the pigs came and got me but im gonna finish this one!!!

I started this at 12/12, like i usually do, let run till showed sex, topped, transplanted into 2gallon pot, switched to 18/6 for 2 weeks, topped 1 more times, then flipped back. This is at day 57 from seed, day 28 since flip. Cherry Wine CBD..

I usually start 12/12 and run till harvest, but i think starting 12/12 till sex shows, pull males, transplant, top and flip for 14 days is the ticket. This Cherry Wine is kickin ass. On 200 watts mostly.

I’m planning on trying this.
I want to grow single colas from seed.

My plan is to keep them in a smaller room with 4 plants per square foot for the first 6 weeks and then a larger room with 1 plant per square foot for the last 6 weeks.

Do any of you defoliate in order to keep them single colas and still end with good yields?

About the only way that you’ll do this is, if you find a plant that will grow its clones into single colas. Even if you find a strain that has a high tendency to make single colas from seed, not all plants will do the same, even seeds from the same batch.
Look for a plant like this-

Taking clones from a plant like this one will greatly increase your odds at what your wanting. Good luck.

Yo dude, what strain is this?? I have one that looks incredibly similar but it's bagseed, been trying to figure out what it is.

 

[Opie1971]

I should have used this pic, it shows that it pretty much IS one cola, I didn’t take a clone, but I’m gonna re-veg her and hope for the best. It’d be great to have a tent full of these. Strain is GPS Bounty Hunter.

How do you guys get clones if it's all or mostly one cola? Anyone ever reveg for clones? Just lost most my veg room to mites and looking to start something quick. Have an older pack of greenpoint Maverick (goji og x stardawg) I was thinking about doing. Already do 2 gal coco and keep em small so shouldn't be too different. Thanks

Nice I just ran some banana sundae that were mostly single cola. I noticed switching to cmh and having them closely packed might have had something to do with it too. Giant hollow stem single cola plants

There will almost always be some little shit at the bottom that you can cut off for a clone.

My little stuff always looks like shit from lack of light but ill try it. Will get some pics once I get going

It doesn’t really matter to me much if they aren’t a completely even canopy.

I like the idea of starting from seeds as I’d need some huge mother plants to get the amount of clones I need

Do none of you prune off excess side branches with 12/12 from seed to make it focus on one cola?

You might cut off some of the little stuff down low, that would give the rest of what’s left, the nutrients and energy it would have used.
Your gonna have to try a few different strains for yourself and find out how they grow. What grows one way for me, could grow a lot different for you. Theres a lot of different things that everyone does different sometimes, different lighting, medium, nutrients, environment,etc....

started my first 12/12 about a week, maybe 1.5 weeks ago and damn is it taking its time. Still on the very first set of leaves....

How long does it usually take for these things to start taking off? I've gotten to the point where I may just move them from my flower tent and put them into 18/6 to get some growth for maybe 2 weeks then flip..

It’ll take them usually around 5 weeks, sometimes a week or so longer to start flowering. Just like anything else, they have to ‘grow up’ before they can have sex. That’s what flowering is, a plants way of reproducing.

While it may look to you like there’s nothing much going on, seedlings are establishing their root system in the first 10 to 14 days, then they’ll explode in growth.

Copy that - thanks!


I'm actually thinking of doing a week maybe 1.5 weeks of 18/6 so the plants can garner a little more growth before I do a quick flip.

Been under 12/12 for about 1.5 weeks.

Definitely not the same, the way it was flowering though the bud/pistil production looked similar I don't have a good pic..

 

[Big Green Thumb]

Hey guys. Been away for a while but have a question and don't have the patience to read 600+ pages to find it... Is anyone running 12/12 from seed in hydro or fogponics? I have an idea brewing!
