12/12 all the way through?

  1. how would my plant come out if I put my lights on and off for 12 hrs and planted it straight into flowering?
     
  2. if ur saying to start freshly sprouted seeds under 12/12 right from the start then you wont get anything from it cus it had no time to produce branches or leaves to be ready to flowers if you want to grow a plant quickly as possible with good results i would suggest that you keep lights on 24/7 for the whole veg cycle and low stress train them by bending the plants down a little every day and this causes the branches to grow out earlier then it growing straight up and you get more bud sites do this until the branches are about 2-3 inches long then you can switch it to 12/12 i hope this helps
     
  3. Actually starting the plants off at 12/12 is used in many sea of green methods. Even when throw a grown plant into 12/12 it grows rapidly for about 2-3 weeks. Start a seed that way and it has 2-3 weeks to veg. Its a good way to keep the plants small if you dont have much space.
     


  4. thanks blazed idiot that helped a lot. but can you top and fim in flowering?
     
  5. No you top in fim in the vegetation process.
     
  6. the olnly time ive ever seen 12/12 from start to finish was with a sativa strain (nevelles haze (sp) which are known to grow really tall so indoor growers are forced to put it thru 12/12 right away so they dont have plants scrapeing their ceiling.
     
  7. Here in the city there is a grow going as we speak 12/12 from sprout,,, Look around its possible..
    Topping and fimming is not recommended in flower the plants energy will be used for healing rather then making big fat buds...If you want your flower time to take longer then top and fim all you want in flower... Ive found less stress more growth....

    Gluck buddy
     
  8. if I vegged for 16/8 would the plant still go into flowering when I change it to 12/12?
     
  9. Sure.

    ... Why wouldn't it?
     
  10. I\ve just sprouted 3 , and my two old girls have just gone into flowering.
    SO i expect the 3 sprouts to go straight into flowering. I'll post pics when they develop.
     
  11. I have heard of someone who had a seedling fall from the veg chamber into the flowering chamber (below the veg), and it supposedly produced a 12" bud. I have no idea what conditions they were growing under, if it's even true.

    I'm sure it's likely BS, and if you did get anything off a straight to flower plant, it would only be a few bowls.
     

  12. lol loads of people have grown 12 /12 from seed .it usualy ends up looking like 1 big bud .
     
  13. yeah man it works fine
     
  14. how would u recomend getting getting a perpetual harvest in this fashon quick sog spears does the mother neet to be in constant veg or can u clone these no veg branches that are started under 12/12 or can u clone clones whats up
     
  15. Yeah it works fine. I've got two plants, one that was vegged for a month on 24/7, and another that went straight in on 12/12. I topped the 12/12 one and despite it being a month younger it's already as tall as my big one and has way more branching.

    Don't believe that 'only a couple of bowls' comment, unless you have a MASSIVE bowl.
     
  16. They way I started was with seeds, then I weeded out the males, first grow was the females left, i cloned those right beore flower, i was new at cloning and lost all but one... lol... she became mama... Needless to say because I lost all the clones I started 7 seeds again. those became my second grow.. turned out with three females. now I have 6 new clones from mama, happy to report they are all healthy. 2nd grow will be complete in about 3 weeks and that day my new clones will start flower.. so every 2-3 months im getting a harvest...Now i wont have to worry about males and my harvest time will become like clockwork...
    Mama is constant veg.... you can clone in flower but i didnt have any luck with it,,,

    Gluck guys
     
  17. It would be a waste of a plant. People dont vege for fun its cuase YOU have to pretty much unless your just flowering a clone to determine sex. So if you go 12/12 from start to finish your plant will be to tiny and weak to support nice big buds.
     
  18. Unless you are using clones which would already be sexually mature, then the plants are going to veg the first few weeks regardless, they will just be doing it with less light. All you end up doing is saving a couple of weeks on the end while cutting your yield greatly. I tried it once with a Hashberry girl and ended up with a little over a half ounce and it ended up finishing maybe 2 weeks quicker. Normally I would have gotten about 3 oz with a 3.5 - 4 week veg. So I wouldn't recommend it unless you are using clones in a SoG or growing a stretchy sativa in a smaller space.
