The 12-12 From Seed Thread

Seems counter productive selecting a mother from seed when you don't even know what he/she (she if fem'd) will produce?
good luck though hope it works out.

I have one single WW femmed seed I had left over that I have in 12/12 as I await my new seeds. It's been under the 400w HPS for about a week now :)

The other remaining seed is in veg as I'm turning her into a mother, and will clone her for my perpetual hempy bucket 12/12, along with Bubba Kush, Super Lemon Haze and Super Sour Diesel (each strain will have a mother to clone from).

Super Lemon Haze grows like a beast in my 12/12!

ur plants seem stressed they were like that before u put that light ? i would try to put that light with a reflector, in an horizontal position and practice lst hardcore 1 massive plant.. or go for sea of green with clones on smaller pots my last 12/12 bitch was like 1m tall... anyway u chosethe best method to begin with.

The light won't fit horizontal with the cooltube on it....unless I make holes on the side and slide it in, which could work. They do seem a little stressed, but they seem to be fine for now. I think it's just the small space they are in. But I'm just testing the waters for the first grow, I'm going to use this cabinet as a veg chamber after this and build a decent sized cabinet for flowering.

Hi Guys 'n' Gals

Noob here, I've searched all evening for some answers but can't find what I want to know.

Can any body give a suggestion as to how many plants you would consider growing under a 600w hortilux mixed spectrum ( 90,000 lumens), in canna coir, using canna nutes, excellent ventilation and air circulation with a 12/12 from seed?

I have 6 lights, each suspended over 6 trays ( metre square). I'd like to make the space as productive as possible, both in time and quantity.​

Any suggestions on strain and supplier would also be very welcome.

Thanks for looking. Roll on :)

I have a little side project of RD PDP Haze going 12/12 from seed, they are doing really well, week 3 in right now and starting to preflower. Looks like 3 fems and 2 males. I am going to make a few seeds with them, will post pics soon.

Just got a new hps, thinking of doing 12/12 from seed its gonna be in a 3x3 what size pots and how many plants? Also how long does it take to harvest doing this on average? What is a approximate estimate on the return on a 12/12 from seed

Depends what light you are running, for a 3x3 personally wouldn't run anything less than 400w
id recommend 6L airpots or 8L smarts with coco, you could get 4-6 in that space.
its nearly impossible to guess what the return and timescale would be without knowing what strain and light you are running, but with the above setup I would expect around 8-12 oz (that is a modest estimate) in about 10-12 weeks with a med/fast flowering decent yielder

Good luck spec. The 3 WW femmed ( Seedsman) I ran 12/12 coulda used 4 weeks of 16 hr - yield was super low, didnt seem to do well with 5th node crop either. Pheno were consistent and had one grape smeller out of the bunch

Hello,
I was so excited to read about the 12/12 from seed because I'm doing a 4 pot DWC in a cabinet 54 tall 26 wide but only 12.5 deep.
Im using a 400 watt cooltube with ventilation. Pics to come soon. Any advice or warnings would be much appreciated.

Let's see some pics!!:)
If heat is an issue,run your lights on at night.Growing 12/12 from seed your gonna have a 3-4 week veg time,you can save your 400 and maybe get some cfls or t5s to veg for a few weeks then add the 400 when you start to flower.GL

My bad forgot to mention its a 600w hps. I was gonna do them in 1 gallon pots but I'm not sure if that's big enough for a complete 12/12 from seed plant.

With a 600 you could expect more, 600 is real nice in that space provided you can keep your temps under control
you can also get away with gallon pots if they are airpots/smartpots, if not they would probably get a bit root bound but should be ok

Coco, with canna a+b as your base, rhizotonic for early stages, cannazym for later, and a bit of pk boost during flower, pk 4/10
follow the instructions

Also when and what type of nutes do I use like bloom or veg

Anything is 'big' enough to take a plant through flower; i've seen it in just a 16oz solo cup. That being said, you will severely diminish your yield in only one gal pots. try for at least 3 gal, if not 5 or 7. the bigger u go, the more room for root development->more rhizosphere area for feeding and absorbing nutes->greater growth and bud size. 600 is ideal for almost anything u can fit underneath it.

ok I'm just going to use 1 gallon buckets. I can get them from dollar tree for a buck. I use botanicare nutes but if its 12/12 from seed would I use bloom nutes or veg? I don't wanna switch nutes

I got a few bigger pots. Not sure what they are. I got like 4. I can use them and still keep a few in 1 gallons... Never thought of that.
