quick question, decided to go with 12/12 based of this post by del666 and I'm about 3.5 weeks in. Im trying to finish this harvest by january 15th of the new year. Is that even possible? I figured that it shouldn't be to long of a grow because of the immediate flowering light cycle. I have to move to Cali from Arizona for school and I'm freaked out it may need another week or two and I'm really not trying to pass border patrol with 2 full grown plants in my moving truck. 600 watt hps lumatek light system, using all purpose fert, happy frog nutes, bat guano and molasses. soil, in 3 gallon smart pots.

Depends on what it is maybe be a eight week deal more or less just all depends how long flowering time does that variety take.
What did the description say on flowering? GL Do you know what kind it is?

It will come close probably if you have no problems if that's what the description says.
I been wanting to try 1 of the 45 day ones.My first grow with bagseed done in 6 weeks haven't been able to get everything right since or so it seems.

:mrgreen: Throw plenty of light at them and cut the light hours to 10 then cross your fingers.

Hi guys and girls , its nice to see the old thread is being kept alive and great growing going on. Power to all of you peeps who follow the 12-12 from seed style. So for those of you who have read this thread you know i made my own breed of plant from a thc bomb mother and a bubblegum father, I called it bubblebomb. I was looking through bomb seeds and noticed they now have bubble bomb seeds for sale which are also a cross of thc bomb and bubblegum, has anyone tried growing it and if so what did it turn out like.

Is 10 hours of light a day a sufficient amount? I feel like it will promote flowering faster but I'm worried that its not enough light to give me a decent yield.

10 hours of SUNlight is fine.10 hrs of artificial?....why???I'm not sure about it promoting faster flowering.If your on a veg light schedule...20/4,18/6....then just give it an extra dark cycle.Then switch to 12/12.If its an auto just give it time.peace

That's what I figured would happen.. I think I'm just going to pray and hope they finish in time with the 12/12 cycle.

What I found, is that shortening the hours for just the last couple weeks won't be a noticeable difference, so you may as well stick it out and get as much as you can.

Hey just back a week later.. I only have one blackberry kush plant out of the two that i started for this small grow, She's doing well, close to a week into flowering, she's 44 days 12/12 from seed. I increased the lights just based off the fact that more light means more bud, as long as the temps remain cool. So I'm using 4 125W CFLS, and a 600W HPS simultaneously. The plants seem to be taking the added light very well, I think blackberry kush is a strain that doesn't progress as fast under 12/12 from seed as others i have seem in the thread. Most of the things I have read and seen here are showing signs of flowing around 3 weeks in and mine didn't show til 5 weeks in.Odd, but I just ordered some barneys farm fem pineapple chunk seeds, came with a free fem Dinafem blue hash seed. So i can try out new strains on the 12/12 from seed light cycle.

^^ I just wanted to chime in here and let you know you are wasting an great deal of light with your setup. you have no reflective surfaces anywhere and I can see your grow is greatly suffering because of it. You say you have a 600w hps and 500 watts of clf!! your plants should be HUGE in comparison. I would recommend you get a nice reflective tent.
