got a quick question for you, so would using 16oz cups be big enough,or should I start in 10oz cups and then transfer into the 16oz cups or should I use some thing bigger or just use 16oz cups and not transplant them at all

I can only fit 6 6" pots in my cabinet its all right to vegg them in 6" pots then put them outside to flower, but the weather is going south fast,when using the 6" pots to flower in they spread out too much because of the stretch and the lower branches do not get enough light,they kinda over lap each other, so I was hoping that the 16oz cups would be better, so I can fit more plants in my cabinet

Sometimes, more plants is worst. Ask anyone who's had to deal with mold or mildew. Have as much surface area of soil as you can, and put 4 2 gallon pots in. You'll thank yourself later.

I understand what you are saying, my cabinet inside dimensions are 21"s wide, 15"s deep, and to the bottom of the lights 18" high, so I'm limited by hight,so I want short pots, or some sort of small square pots, or a short planter maybe

Okay i understand it ABSOLUTELY isnt ideal but would it even be worth it to go 12/12 with 400 watt MH. I have a great amount of space but have to work with what i got in the light department for now.

Here is day 26 of my void plant from seed. I saw someone ask what a topped 12/12 seed looks like when finishing. I topped this day 20, and now 4 new budsites are popping out. Compared to the other 12/12 seeds, this one seems to be much more bushier and I will be able to clone it in a week or so. In my own opinion so far with 12/12 seed topping, I would only use hard sativas to top since the training is much easier. I tried to do a 12/12 seed topping with a pure 100% indica, and it looks terrible. Too much bushiness to a point that I cant even determine sex because I cant go into the main nodes from all the leaves.

Been busy of late, changing my grow around yet again lol, got lots on the go atm and doing a fair amount of experimenting as well. Gotta build some new cabs so its time to break out the power tools and i aint got alot of time to build them. Heres whats happening in my grow room
.


P1010206.jpgCab one is mainly skunk on 12/12 from seed

P1010207.jpgCab two also has some skunk but some burmese kush, cole train and lemon skunk on 12/12 as well. The seedlings in rockwool are all lemon skunk from DNA, gonna find the best pheno and get me a few mothers for my clone grows. This is without doubt some of the best smoke ive had for a long time, blew my fucking head off lol and went down a treat with all that smoked it.
P1010212.jpgP1010216.jpgP1010210.jpgcab three is skunk on 12/12 from seed, one looks like its been topped but it aint just grew out like that.
P1010213.jpgP1010214.jpgP1010215.jpgThis lot are 12/12 from clones, rocklock. Waited till i had a some good root growth before flipping they are much smaller than seed grows but seem to be budding up nicely, got 4 weeks left on these.

So I believed I had a salt build up in almost all my plants since I haven't flushed. I flushed 2x times container size, some 3x depending in color of run off. When I started the water was coming out green. Is that salt build up? Also is it better to flush during light or dark cycle?

Never had green run off man, salt build up will show itself in the plants, whats the leaves look like and whats your medium. I run a low PPM and only flush at the end of my grow, stick some pics up, its lot easier to help if we can see whats going on mate.

Yes mate perfectly normal. Skunk #1 can throw out a few different phenos even on a 12/12 grow, i seem to have been lucky and only had the odd few that branched the vast majority were single fat colas. Looking nice Mr G gonna have some nice bud soon mate.

i'm using foxfarm ocean forest. Lots of necrosis on the fan leaves mainly,still some on bud leaves too. Begins with some bronzing, then eventually tips of leaves dry up, get crispy and fall off. Could also be iron or manganese deficiency I think but I need clarification to figure it out and fix it. I'll try and get a couple pics up later today. Thanks jimmy

thats good to hear, i cant wait to see the results of this 12/12 form seed, it will taken longer than i expected, i put them in to germ on the 27th august so its been a little over 5 weeks to get this far but should see some good results. i dont want to wait as long next time so 12/12 clones next, but i think i will always keep a few seeds going just so i can try lots of different types of bud.

Sounds like O.D on the nutes but pics will help with that, run a low PPM for a few days and see if that helps.
