Ok i've read on many forum's 12/12 gives you a small yield of one main bud cola. i would like to see some clear results there's been alot of claims so if anyone has a grow journal let me know or give your advise here. oh and i know 18/6 is better and all that so if you came in here to post something like that don't bother. Strickly for people with results with 12/12 from seed growing!:joint:

I did it & was none too impressed,im not johnny pro grower so take what i say about this for what it is,my experience & my experience only,ive read about people having excellent results doing this but my results sucked.

I had not intended to try this,i was starting 100% from seed but due to reading a thread that teaches the perpetual sog method i switched gears mid grow,i had some seedlings that i decided to just throw into flower with everything else since i would not need them any longer after moving to all clones.

I ended up with plants that grew very strangely with uneven internode spacing & very small buds,the colas were none too impressive either,they grew bud but the yeild was so small for the floor space & lighting being used i'll never do it again.

When i compare the yeild from the immature seedlings with where im at right now using clones from sexually mature plants there is no comparison,the clones are the hands down winner in yeild & in plant structure.

12/12 doesen't affect potency at all...but yield,well of course because your skipping the vegg process but you can make up for that by planting more plants in the space that the bigger plants would have took up:mrgreen:

yes,the more you veg,the more yield,so if you veg for a couple weeks it be better because your going to get more yield and still have small plants....but 12/12 from seed you can make up the lost yield with more plants if you have the neccessary space

4rom seed,you shoud get about 6-9 plants....and with a few weeks of vegging you may fit a max of 5 plants

no way 6 to 9 plants in a place that small for just starting at 12/12

that seems impossible lol

im talking like a rubbermaid container
