so im trying 12/12 from seed to finish i read a little about it. im mainly doing it so i can put in new plants at any point in the grow. i dont need a seperate area for veg and flower. for the first week and a half i wasnt able to water them properly and they were really dry at the very beginning and then over watered and are just now drying out.and now its recovery time they are small to me....but im not sure how on track they are for 12/12 since this is my first time. one started curling a little so i brought in a fan because my room was hot. but now that im here to take care of them and watch them they will get better. 150 watt hps. ffof.
smaller strain is cali big bud.
bigger strain is what im assuming was fruity pebbles...the weed smelled like fruity pebbles.
2 weeks old.

pics suck my phone is awful sorry.

I don't have much experience with 12/12 from seed. I am basically going to be doing that now with one plant but that's because it's a long flowering sativa anyways. It could be that having problems now will have enormous effects on your final yeild. I had some some similar problems and my plants were a little stunted this time and needed a few extra weeks of veg than if had I done everything right. Obviously, flowering right away doesn't give you that luxury. If the plants start flowering really early you might end up with abud on a stick scenario.

I know your using a small light so you don't want huge plants but I think you would be better off vegging a little bit. I mean the plant probably isn't going to start flowering for a few weeks anyways even 12/12 from seed, so you might as well just give it more light so it can get more energy for growth during that time period. Either way good luck, I've seen it work just fine.

ya my last grow i had a sativa in flower for 14 weeks. and i only vegged them for 24 days cuz they got huge. my lights really good. i only needed a 150 watt hps cuz im not gonna be growing many plants. but ever since ive been here to monitor them they are showing more growth.its so hard to see exactly where they are at cuz my camera sucks so bad. i read a little into the full 12 12 cycle and i really only want it for the fact that i find seeds all the time from good shit i haveppl look for me and stuff and i want to be able to start them in the same space as the ones already growing at any point cuz i only have one light. but im hoping since im doing hps the whole way through it will help with bud size. i might end up dragging out veg just cause they were so tiny and i wasnt able to monitor them for the first almost 2 weeks. so we will see. im just tryingto figure out why this one plant is curing. i had this problem with one plant from my previous grow...turns out it just didnt like my light i had to move it outside. and it was tinyyyy but it liked being outside it was weird.
