12/12 from seed

[White Smoke]

I found this link with interesting information about starting your seeds from a 12/12 lighting cycle. It will harvest a smaller amount of bud and won't get as big but that it exactly what i want. Because i have a some what small amount of space and a want to harvest within about a month or so.
Here is the link: 12/12 From Seed: A Different Way To Grow - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums
Lemme get your guys input. Tell me what you think

I would be interested to know more about this too. For my first harvest I would like to make it a fast one to get the exeprience then move to something more complex. You could try an autoflower strain to keep it short if this doesnt work.

Once they sprout I might start a grow journal and post how a 12/12 from seed grow goes.

Do a search in the forums for 12/12 from seed. You will find many arguments about that subject.

I know, But i have seen more people saying that it is good if you want a smaller yeild in a smaller space. It's perfect for my circumstance right now. I'll give it a try and get back to you guys.

i personal grow 12/12 from seed with just a MH 400 watt and my plants are just starting to pre flower at 3 feet tall i would go for it buddy and just ignore the arguing

[smokinpipe]

also the MH gives you less dense but more potent buds from my experience but also my experience is limited to 2 12/12 grows

I`d want a bigger yeild in a smaller space. If you try this you should do like 4 and SoG it. Just a thought, unless you have a really limited amount of space.

I have like 5 fems seeds.
But to save them I germed alot of bagseed like 20 with only 6 popping so far and 2 bags still waiting to pop Im doing 12/12 on the bagseed so I can sex as soon as posiable so I can pull the males.

I'm growing 2 plants right now a very small space in my attic. It's got a long light on the side going over both the plants. It's a small little grow house made outta wood. Made by yours truly, lmao.

Just remember, flower time doesnt change just cause you don veg, youre still going to have to flower for 7 to 10 weeks. Thats a long time to wait for one small plant.. Just my opinion..

Id get your stuff together and at least get a couple plants in there.

Not bashing the technique, Ive been doing a lot of clone to flower.

How is that saving you ANY time or space? They are just now pre-flowering, how long has this 12/12 been going now? Why did you choose to go that route, you obviously had the room to let your plants grow to three feet, BEFORE flowering. Come on guys, you are getting nothing from that. During a normal veg your plants need light to grow. You are much better off with an 18/6 schedule. You will see much more vigorous growth, which is what you want to be able to flower as soon as possible right? I have not heard of one person who has done some grows that has tried this with good results. If it was such a good idea, wouldn't it be more widely accepted as a good method? New growers, fine, experimenting and finding out what works for you is what it's all about, but there are some times when tried and true methods are the most logical way to go.

A LOT of people use this method. You seen DocMojos grow?

Perfect example. Smaller plants means quicker turnover, less space, and a perfect way to learn growing and your plants.

For someone growing theyre own meds, trying to be self sufficient in a cost effective way this method can be great! Id suggest developing a system though.

Not 12/12 from seed, but clone. Get some moms and experiment with cloning, veg time, nutes, all that. Youre wasting a lot of seeds doing 12/12 from seed.

Having a grow using clones is a totally different story. That is the one and true way to get those results, (the short plants with short veg time), consistantly and fool-proof. I have been going that route for about a year and a half now with the same strain, I know it's benefits.

I don't understand your post. You totally contradict yourself. You say a lot of people use it, it's a good method, but then that 12/12 from seed is not a good idea, it's clones you wanna go with.
