The 12-12 From Seed Thread

[benmorgan236]

My next strain is Barney's farm pineapple chunk, their fem. Im going to plant them all in 1 gallon pots and use the Scrog method for the first time ever. I'm also going to get a Kind 300w full spectrum LED this coming month for added light once I receive some tax return money back. I live in the Desert so its hard to keep the humidity up, I honestly didn't know 20% RH was bad for the plant. What's a good level it should be at?

 

[B166ER420]

Lol...right now mine is at 28%.....but anyway optimal rh during veg is 50-70%,during flower 40-60%.They're are many reasons for correct rh...read a book...I can tell you mine has never been "optimal" either

 

[crispitycrunchity]

about.....60 days I think.

Raising humidity is the easiest of things to do,just wet a towel & hang it in the room is what I do rather than humidifier.

Thanks, that sounds a lot more cost efficient.

It all depends on how big your grow space is, if it's a small cab, try just wetting a sponge or a flannel. A towel would be far too much and just drown your plants and you're almost guaranteed bud rot/mold if you include too much humidity.

If you get it right though, it can, as you say be very cost efficient. I used to do it, but it took me a while to understand that a towel was too big for my grow space ^_^

 

[benmorgan236]

So I put in a wet towl in my 4x4x8 grow tent to try and get the humidity above 20, and after a day the max all it rose to was 26. AZ is just extremely dry besides summer time. Probably going to wind up just getting a humidifier.

 

[B166ER420]

Your grow tent(in dry ass AZ!!)is a little to big for the wet towel method....a humidifier on a timer is your easiest solution.GL.p

Thanks man!
It's just a bit fatter than the Diesel, and I peeped tonight, and I might be able to chop the main cola this weekend.

Is anyone doing the 12/12 from seed method still? I am just seeing this stuff and think it is right up my agenda lol. I feminize seeds of what I like and cross them to each other and get really strong strains. This has got my attention because of space and time and saving power. Very Cool Indeed. Do you veg the plants at all or is it just 12/12 from seed period? I have a Herijuana x Crippleberry I want to try this with.

Check my posts bro.
I have 4 plants right now, 12/12, and yes, that is 12/12 from the time it pops through the soil.
NO veg time at all.
I also have another plant, but I vegged it for 14 days, so I do not post it in this thread.

Thanks, I am going to work on this for a bit and see where it goes. I did not think this was possible without ending up with a Hermie, but now I see the results so what the heck let em rip. I will be using a Herijuana x Cripleberry F 1 so it will give me a chance to see some of the different phenos as well as what it can do as a single Cola, which both strains in the cross are very well equipped. It never hurts to end up with more seeds than you really needed, not that I suggest it lol. I got way more than I thought, but now I have exactly what I need for this plan. They just popped so I will try to get some pics up as soon as I can and run pics through to finish. L8R

'What is possible'?
Do you mean 12/12???????
I don't see how 12/12 could possibly be a factor in producing a Herm.

 

[desertdog]

All the books I read have stated that the plant needs 4 to 6 weeks of veg before flowering. At the end of the day anyone can write a book. I once got two hermies and thought it was because I only vegged for four weeks, must have been the strain. They had no stress at all, but two of them hermied so I just used the clones to make an all fem cross that worked out great. So hey thanks and I have been reading all of your past posts and some others I just never tried it until now. If anything does hermie I will just clone it and use to make fems anyway so either way I will get to see something I like.

I forgot to ask you guys what you feed them, at one point in time, and what ppms. I am growing mine in 2 gallon pots with Promix. I always use ppms so I know exactly what I did in case shit goes sideways, lol. I have been growing for about 8 years and never tried this so please be patient as I figure it out. Thanks. I am using General hydro nutes with snow storm and the super crystal or whatever it is called, along with bud candy, molases, great white, carboload, and bud blaster from supernatural. I know it is all different but it works and I got it really cheap. I have a 1000 watt lumatek with a triple X reflector and some fill lights on the sides with a 4x4 flood tray. I hand water them until flush time then I fill tray a third of the way and wait 2 hours and drain out. Please help me figure out a feeding profile. Thanks.

I'm kinda unorthodox bro.
I just use MG soil and Perlite, MG nutes, some Veg n Bloom, Rock Resinator, Fox Farms, and I don't have a feed 'schedule'.
I just feed when they are hungry, but I keep a log of when I water and feed, and how much.

 

[Artanius]

unorthodox is the only way to go...lol I think everyone is a little different. we weave in and out, experimenting until we get a system that works....I read here and learn and use a little bit of everybody's advice....Its all about the enjoyment and thrill of victory, when we have a successful grow, but also the agony of defeat....lol

Light leak of some sort would be my first to check if I had herms. Stand in ur flower room with lights off for like twenty thirty seconds till ur eyes adjust and it should be black. If u can distinguish shapes and leaves its too bright IMO. Happy growin! Hope this helps
