The 12-12 From Seed Thread

I'm starting from seed and planning to 12/12 once I sex the plants because I don't have room for all of them and want to clone some females to retain as mother plants.

Here are the pots I got for them, currently they're just in these little 4"x4"x4" pots but obviously outgrown them. I have 2 sizes of new pot, 6"x6"x14" and 4"x4"x12", then if there is any extra room I'll throw in my 3 gallon pots, but I'm going to be doing vertical in a circle around the light.

I'm considering switching to 12/12 now and just trying to re-veg some plants after harvesting rather than cloning now. Dunno but I eventually want to do clones 12/12 rather than seed.
All great but you are not running 12/12 fs or clone that I can tell

is there a thread for 12/12 clone? im not seeing it in SOG threads really
SOG is flowering (12/12) as soon as roots are established just with a lot of clones, pretty much the same thing you want info on. You will have low yields when flowering clones, i would at least do a 1-2 week veg time. I like to say " The bigger the roots the bigger the fruits"

Im averaging about 10 grams per plant right now flowering clones. I was just hoping to find a thread of others who have caught onto the fact it makes more sense than growing a bunch of stem. My GPW is well over 1.0 now that I switched to this method. The downside obviously, is the plant count.

It's not catching on to a fact, it's catching on to an opinion. And one that's been touched upon 1000 times already in the pages of this thread.

Looking real good Enduroxx!

This thread has got to have the highest number of people who are unhappy with it's subject. It's really funny. Do people go onto 400w threads asking why they aren't discussing 600w lights? Or do hydro growers go onto soil threads to tell everyone how well hydro works? It's real easy to start a new thread on RIU. Only a few mouse clicks, right?

Hey all, here's my first go at this game, dont hate too much now! I dont compare to the big boys in this thread, o.ly have a few girls in some coco under some cfls. Im a simple guy haha. First almost successful grow, fruity chronic juice, 12/12 from seed. Had some Cal issues that spread rapidly before I finally diagnosed it haha, but other than that im semi proud of her, cant wait to chop, started the flush on Tuesday which marked 8weeks flower. The nice green one is my green ninja. Seems to be a boy mutated, bit hourly it'll work to my advantage. The nodes arnt pairs as normal, more staggered. Anyway, she's about two Weeks in flower. As far as size comparison, that bulb is a 42w from hd and is about the size of a pop can? if that helps any.

Who is the breeder on the strawberry? Looks awesome. Was it 12/12fs? If so what u pull off it?

What size pots are you using? Looks hella good. I started about 40 seeds, haven't weeded out the males yet. What % male do you average starting from seed.

Do you guys keep a male to pollinate to get more seeds, buy seeds, or grow enough seeds every several grows to last?

Thanks.

bit of a seed whore.. can't help myself.
sitting with about 150+ beans at the moment with about 30+ strains

the fact only do about 2-4 per run means that would probably last about 10 years haha
will probably be gifting a bunch to friends back in africa as quite of few of them are big sativas
if a good male is spotted and its an interesting strain, will try save some jizz for later projects...

if you are after some good starting genetic at reasonable prices try breeders boutique

http://breedersboutique.com/site/seeds.php

there's a 50% discount code: FALL50

Have about 5 breeder packs from them ;)

EDIT: oh and the cheesecake is in a 3L airpot, the SS is in a 6L

Beautiful plant, now imagine how much nicer it would have been had it been vegged a few more weeks.

I'm not a hater, just feel that an 18/6 for the first month would have made the grower even more proud and pleased w/this plant.

Benefits of 12/12 from seed:

give the ability to grow perpetual with only 1 room
allow the hobby grower to try many strains and experiment more
use less electricity
better gram per kilowatt ratio (in my experience)

we are not all driven by profits.
