The 12-12 From Seed Thread

[CerebralSpaceCadet]

He and I are proof that there is nothing wrong with MG soil and CFL's.

Totally bro, I'm glad you guys chose the supplies you did, even against all odds.if you guys hadn't done it, I'd still be hearing people bash on absolutely everything I'm using.

 

[B166ER420]

But we have the virtually the same setup minus a couple cfls and other stuff I'm sure.

View attachment 2956181.~cough~…my setup....~cough~I'm proud of my space.peace

The MG is good to use BUT it does need to be supplemented especially the organic.A little molasses or honey when you start to flower and use some Epsom salt for mag,maybe a little limestone for calcium....ive heard people also say tums,sidewalk chalk for cal deficiencies too...or just buy some calmag nutes.GL

Ok so this is my super dope one of a kind sweeded grow bin. A rubber maid bin Lined with aluminum foil ( my old lady almost took my head off in the process of stealing it from my kitchen). I also made the light from an old (porcaline type old) lamp, as you can see the base in which the lamp used to stand upright on is now lined with foil as well. I hung it from the metal rack in my closet. On the front of the bin is a mini calander to keep track of time that I got from my super market, it has fun recepies and tasty treats on it.. So I get to think of all the delicious entres I can eat after I grow this bud. Lol


it pretty much looks like a failed sience project some kid made in the second grade. Butt fuckit. It works!

We're not here to make a statement bro, but we like to prove the nay-sayers wrong.
MG WILL work, if you know how to work it.
You don't need to spend a bunch of money on high dollar soils and nutes.
Ya, you might get better results from nutes and soil with the big name brands, but for those of us who can't afford the high dollar shit on a regular basis, or are not willing to order or go fetch the fancy shit........

I couldn't have said it better myself my dude. I agree 100% about shoving 12/12fs in nay Sayers faces. I can't wait to see my first harvest. Even if itll only be a couple G's.

I'm loving the support here.

The cheapest way to grow is in big container with organic amendments then re-cycling the soil. It really doesnt get any cheaper! and it grows the best weed too. I dont know why not more people are doing it!!

I'm pretty new, but I was wondering if you should go straight to 2700k when using cfl's for a 12/12 grow? or should you use 6500k for a short period?
Any info would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

 

[B166ER420]

I would keep the 6500k's until first pistils show then add 2700k's and when stretch is over add more 2700k's or as many as reasonable for your space.

Not sure about specifics and I'm a noob, but there are two types of cfls that people use to grow buds, warm/ soft white and daylight. Daylight for vegging and warm/soft white for flowering. Although both can be used throughout the entire life cycle of your plant and it will bud. I'm sure you can swap em out when your in different stages. But it's kind of a hassle but to each his own.

Personally I use the warm light as it's better for flowering ( and that's what I'm aiming for ).

This is friendly advice. Pease don't quote me. Enjoy your grow and good luck on your grow!!

** update: or just listen this to the comment above as he knows a shitload more than I.

I mix mine......
I only have about 120w of 5000k and about 200w of 2700k, but since I use the same area, and veg some and don't others, I use all from seed.
Some guys use about 75% 5000k or 6500k to veg, the rest 2700k, then reverse the ratio to flower.

Del, What you running now? I remember when you went with bomb & then making your own,what you got new in the book? I'm just starting to see some things you saw years ago. & Thanks!

What are you seeing nameno?

I know me I def. noticed that pure indica are not what you want to grow 12/12 from seed unless you are doing a sea of green. Most crosses I have created perform very well 12/12 from seed and they are usually made with either one of the parent being hybrid/sativa or the 2 parents hybrids/sativas.

And for you guys trying this out of the the first time, use a big final container and transplant as early as you can!! yes only a few days after seeds have sprouted is the perfect time to transplant!

I ran out of time and threw a bunch of 12/12 from seed in my grow room I ll be back with pics in a few months!

SO I added some lights for fun.. Check it out. 12/12 from seed. Blackberry Kush. Day 70 or 80 something.. Its a T5 hpo light sys, 600W HPS, and two hp cfl's, I forgot the wattage..

 

[B166ER420]

Nice 12/12fs ben....but maybe you could raise that ho t5 just a little and angle it down a just a little so more of the topside of the leaves get the light...my two cents for what they're worth.Don't just add lights all willy nilly.."just for fun"..make 'em count,move'em closer.peace

Cure that pineapple express for at least 3 weeks. You will not be disappointed.

Also, don't smoke it if you have anything important to do..

Cheers mate, I grew some last time but fucked it up by letting it get way to dry.
