Your thoughts on germinating on 12/12

What are your thoughts on having an entire grow on 12/12, from germination till harvest?

[busteruk7]

not good but then it could be worth a try for experimental purposes like lol
cheers all :)

Hmmm... I think the plants are going to go bannanas.

I'm sure they'll grow... but I wonder if they'll start flowering as soon as their biological clock permits, or what... I don't know. ???

Maybe they're acostumed to 12/12, so when they actually can flower, they just... take their sweet time?

I don't know... hmm.... Sounds like an experiment in the making...

Garden! Who's the most recent newb on the boards?
I think we've got another science fair project...

A lousy harvest. I know someone that has done it and the plants stretched (don't know if this was to do with it) and showed sex at like 2 weeks (I think). They got like an 1/8th off of it

[busteruk7]

then again it all depends what sort of equipment ya are gonna use britewire
can ya give us some specs to play with m8
cheers all

Well, I'm growing on soil, not in pots but three large containers. 2x 600W HPS cooltubes, thermostat heating fan. Im growing with CANNA TERRA nutrient line with the CANNA pk-13-14. Mycorhizza fungi and bacterial mix in the soil.

I'm growing Jock Horror from nirvana seeds.

ps. I'm growing in a Scrogg setup

[busteruk7]

niceeeeeeee
sounds good to me bro give it a blast and see what happens init
cheers :)

I just read a thread on a dutch site of a guy who grew from seeds just using 12/12.

Here's a ipc of his yield.

[busteruk7]

fuck yeah
do it bro , i might even attemp one looking at that result that is pretty nice looking bud for 12/12 from seed
cheers dude :)

[britewire]

pretty nice?

That's an awsome yield for a 11 week grow

[Powder Puff]

It does streatch alot growing slomly on 12/12.. I know this..:)

[busteruk7]

pretty nice?

That's an awsome yield for a 11 week grow
yeah damn right i think i might try this for my next grow

[DoctorFeelGood]

I grow soil and have tried many light methods so here is my personal info.
Running on 12/12 from start to finish will cause your plants to stretch and your buds to be small, not very compact and the buzz will be a lower grade buzz if you dont run a fan most of the time the plant wont hold much buds until it falls over or breaks off stringing the plants up is a must.

Running on 18/6 will make your plants shorter, fatter, stronger and much healthier.
Your stalk will be much bigger your branches will be bigger your buds will be big and compact and the high will be better plus you will get a bigger yield rather than on a 12/12 cycle.
Running 24/0 doesnt improve the yield or the plant enough for me to run my ballast that much.
In growing you want to be economical and do what works with the best results.
Dont get me wrong 12/12 wont be bad from anyones point of view however 18/6 for 4-5 weeks then 12/12 till harvest is for optimal results.

My opinion is a wast of good seeds and nutrients.

[britewire]

but look at the pictures... doesn't that look good you think?

[BlueDragonSmoke]

If they r real . A pic is nothing , he might just be trying to sell an idea....Hey did you know you can grow a 6 ' plant in a coffee cup ... lol...I have pics...wanna see...lol....peace

[chisme]

lol yeah but cmon it would be good if that pic is true it would half your eleccy costs and also the heat from hid lamop wouldnt build up as much.....faster production im assuming meaning faster profits?



someone experiement...please

[BlueDragonSmoke]

show me proof and ill turn all my timers down to 12/12 right now , hell ya sounds kick ass.....BUT I dont want to waste the seeds or time....lol just incase it didnt ....I am a leader...but if there is any proof , I can be a follower anyday....lol....peace

I have experimented and I posted the results I had.
18/6 compared to 12/12 you wont even notice on a light bill(FACT)
12/12 compared to 18/6 Yield is lower on 12/12 from start to finish buds are smaller plants are smaller smoke isnt as good.
18/6 improves yield, bud size, plant size, health and the smoke is better.
Tests have been done and reports given.
Yes the pic looks good but the sad fact is I dont think its from a 12/12 to start from finish.

It's in dutch, but I got to know the fellow over time and I KNOW he's no bullshitter.

good luck setting your times too 12/12right now

I haven't actually grown any plants to harvest yet, but I've started some grows using different methods in order to refine my setup and get everything right, and it seems that it may work better to do 24/0 for a few days so there isn't too much stretching, then switch to 12/12. I've also read that 12/12 from the start works well for indoor sativa, so you might want to get a packet of Nirvana mixed sativa.
