So I'm starting a new grow, my third grow, and I want to try 12/12 from seed, but I've been told something like starting out 24/0 and then 18/6? That wouldn't be 12/12 from seed then would it? So my question is, is 12/12 from seed exactly what it sounds like or is there more to it?:confused:

Your plant most likely wont survive... But id give it a go. experimenting has led to alot of things in history... for all you know you might yield a dead plant or even 1/2 a lb... but who knows i havent even finished a grow im on my second one... stop by the journall

I have heard alot of people that go 12/12 from seed. The only situation i would do this in is if i had a 600 or 1000 Watt HPS and an autoflowering strain. Other than that your probably going to waste a bunch of time and kill your plants.

Hmmm...now that you mention it, the strain I saw in the 12/12 from seed thread was an auto-flowering strain. Maybe I won't try this after all. :cry: I'll figure something out.

yeah ive seen 2zips per plant harvested using 12 12 from seed, its an aesome method for a quick harvest. The better q would be why not go 12 12 from seed?

It will work. The only thing is that it will take the same amount of time for it to flower as 1 that was not on 12/12 from seed. So grow it and then 12/12.

yeah, ive heard the potency issue. Thats why youd wana start with clones. A clone is as old as its mother. But your wrong on the male part, flowering early gives you a higher female rate. straight from ed rosenthals books, ive done my homework. Dont mean to be a pest with all you guys id just like to see the correct info get out, and people to learn the facts, and not be mislead by false statements past down by word of mouth

That statement is false unless you can provide some emperical evidence to support it. There are potentcy issues, and yield issues. Why would you want a plant to yield 2 oz when it could have yielded 4 had you vegitated. It is completely stupid imo, unless you don't have time to vegitate it i can understand then.

Haha dr chron steps in!

Whats false my brother?

Why would you want 2 zips? lets see, ehh, small stealth setups, low watt hps units where you want your buds as close to the intensity as possible, and of course a fast yeild.

"Why would you want 2 zips?" You must have missed the second half of that. Why would you want 2 zips, WHEN YOU COULD HAVE 4. hmmm that's a hard decision 2 zips or 4 zips 2 zips or 4 zips. I think i made my mind up.
