There is no reason to grow 12/12 from seed unless you trying to keep the plants tiny for stealth reasons. It will still take 10 weeks to grow and you will yield much much less. I like to veg my plants for exactly 1 week from seed then switch to 12/12, it keeps them nice and short but lets them mature a little bit before the bloom phase.

Veg for 60 days minimum. Patience pays off in the end.

Yea i'd have a veg period if you got time and space... the longer you veg though the more you will battle deficiency's and so on... Go with a 2-3 week veg and you're plants should be a nice small/medium size for switching the light, remember to keep the light as close as possible to prevent too much stretch.. Good luck

Bingo. Bingo bingo bingo. Do it big and do it right.

Agreed, but some people just don't have the light or space for 5ft tall monster plants, I'm one of them. It's all a matter of preference. The longer you veg will introduce more problems if you don't have experience.

The strain i have is 50-55 days, nothern light blues, thanks for all the advice to everyone who put an input into this thread, i think ill veg them for 2-3 weeks before putting them into flowering, my last grow went totally wrong so carnt afford to mess this one up, and need cash asap, what peoples opinions on feeding them in veg? on my last grow i over fed them in veg, i went of that table canna produced what a loads of bollocks that was! ha

Simple method- Blood Meal or Dried blood and Triple phosphate. I take it your using soil. 10ml dried blood once a month in the veg. In the flower 5ml of dried blood once a month, and 5ml triple phosphate per foot of branch growth.
its cheap-
it's easy-
low Maintence/just add water.-
no flush required-
you can use what ever supplements you like-
the easier the grow the less problems you will have.

I have the preference of doing things right. So, if I can't do it big, I don't do it at all. Waiting for months for a oz or two just isn't worth my patience.

scrogging helps when space is limited. I faught the space war and got tired of the pain in the ass it caused. If I don't have the space, I'm not gonna mess around with it. Sometimes it's just not worth it to be so cramped up to where you have a hard time working or getting around in your area.

make sure u use a good beneficial bacteria(micro madness or organism xl by aroura) to get things started and wait for the pant to ask for food. if u are only vegging 2-3 weeks in good soil like roots, fox farm or vermisoil u wont need to feed at all. in fact feeding will stunt the growth a bit. feeding small roots is a waste of time and $. wait for good roots and you'll get good fruits i promise.

I completely agree with you kron, thats why 12/12 from seed and auto strains are a complete waste of time for an ounce or two.
It really depends on the strain, if I veg my kushberry plants for 60 days they will branch out like crazy and become unmanagable, but my other plants would benifit from a longer veg time.

Ya 12/12 from seed would probably end up being a nug on stick, though someone did a journal of 12/12 from seed and had some very cool, good results.

No way my DWC can veg 2 months. But in soil I do veg 2 months. Plant some evry month. You wait only on your first chop. But it does take some space and some lights. No penetration = why the f veg so big anyway, right? But newbie growers can grow/learn and earn by vegging longer than 2-3 weeks. Much more yield weight-wise and in many cases quality-wise as well.
