The 12-12 From Seed Thread

Just get a strong light. Get it as high wattage as you can if you want the best results.
True, with a side note. I got a 1000 watt hps and I regret not getting two 600's of either HPS or HPS + MH (a whole different debate). But for the minimal energy cost increase and lower lumens output or 1000 vs 600, the light coverage of two 600s would help me a lot I believe.

Here's a quick question for ye..They say that a plant flowered under a HPS and MH bulb combined will do a lot better than just a HPS on its own as the MH provides a blue spectrum resultung in a different bud structure...Now I haven't the room for a second lamp but was thinking if I added some blue spectrum CFL's for side lighting its a double plus do ye think this will work??
to much light is never a problem itself, only what can result from excess light. but a few extra cfls won't hurt

del what strains would you suggest doing 12/12 from seed under a 250w hps? just starting a new grow and have some ak48, burmese kush and sharksbreath seeds (going ak48 first) but looking for others so i can add 2 new seeds every 4 or 5 weeks. what strains seem to like 12/12 from seed? gonna be upgrading to a 400w hps after a few grows

you're right in my eyes! one of my buddies has a 4k ( 4x1000) and another a 3k ( 5x600) and we all think that the 3k room is more productive

You can buy dual spec hps nowadays...

Ha so simple mantiszn never taught about that of all the reply yours hit the nail on the head....Came home today aswell and my 12-12er's have fucking sky rocketed love it there's hair's growing out all over the place the plant I FIM'ed has reacted very well to it nice and bushy and has sprouted an extra 4 bud sites just an experiment to see how it would react pretty impressed so far will see with the final yield though...

those pictures looks like they were taken from outter space. chemo concushion. chemo, the experiment, they are all very pretty potent and life saving plants that i have the feeling are going to really help someone to feel better. are they to treat cancer? Your diagram made me laugh, being quite stoned, it took me some time to figure it out. very trippy dude.
i like your set up its trippy and state of the art. and your the sexy girls are making my stomach growl.

not for cancer,... but maybe thats what keeps it away from me!!! I got the chemo to help with chronic pain though, looking forward to see how that goes! and the robot part is just my fresh air intake fan, it blows cold air right on a 400W

Do you know how much light would be too much? or at what point you would see deminishing returns. would 17 500lumens per square foot be destructive or Really Fucking Awesome?! I'm considering doing this:fire:

As long as you keep temperatures around 23 degrees Celsius, there is no such thing as too much light. If it really is overkill, then the worst that would happen is that your plants use what they can, and the rest is wasted. There shouldn't be any negative side effects...

yeah! I had people on the reveg thread saying that it was silly to reveg for such a short period of time and that it was just a waste of time...well it doubled in size since I put it in the flower room and it looks very healthy!! I failed miserably on the first go with this plant and I am glad to give it another chance! The hairs popped out a few days ago so I am looking forward to see if it will grow decent buds or if the short reveg really affects it.
