šŸ˜šŸ˜šŸ˜šŸ˜ I am herešŸ˜šŸ˜šŸ˜šŸ˜

I have two runs in 12/12 from seed (11/13), I have been a fan of this growing technique for a while (see my thread) in sog between 16 and 12 pots per box. It is ideal for small spaces and very easy to do. I tested the apex cut and also broke the apex, by breaking the apex on the skunk#1 the plants reacted very well. I also think there is a choice on the strain, in my opinion the indicas and the predominant indicas are ideal for this type of culture, after I launched sativas in 12/12 from seed, which I will torture by breaking the apexes to see their reaction and if the harvest will be better.

That sounds good @figolus I'll look forward to seeing how that turns out for you, i'm always looking for improvements.

I was growing them as normal until I got some understanding of growing from 12-12 and established a few phenos worth the effort, it's time now to concentrate more on clones and improving yeild, this crop I tied them down a few weeks after potting them up to flower (I'd need to check dates)

That's sativa leaning it's grown favorably, I've a few others that didn't do so well but it's still an improvement over not tying them.

I'm going to tie them about a week earlier in future Ā±

I've not had the opportunity to veg anything from 12-12 properly they've only ever been vegged in these root pouches due to the numbers and also growing regular seeds it wasn't practical to veg in bigger I didn't think.

I'm expecting to see some improvements in yeild between bending, lst and bigger root ball?

I've cut back on numbers I've a selection of phenos I'm really delighted with and happy to grow on rotation but I'm continuing to grow seeds for fun because 12-12 from seed fricken rocks and I've few seeds to get through šŸ„³

I got a delivery of seeds yesterday from my bro I'm high just from the delivery šŸ¤©

I was planning to start seeds this weekend but I'm going to hold off for another week, I normally change to 11-13hrs after sexing and potting up but after with tying them down this time I thought the added vegitive growth would be to my advantage so I held off with 11-13hrs until a month into flowering.

From previous crops @7/8wks with 11-13hrs

there's a notable difference between 12-12 and 11-13, I've not tried less than 11-13hrs but I'm prepared to try it, 1hr less made a big difference to the overall time tbh I doubt 10-14hrs could improve the overall effect much but who knows, I didn't think 1hr less would have the effect it did šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø

I'm trying to optimize the 12/12 harvest from seed. To do this, I've tested apex breaking on the skunks, apex cutting on one plant and one bud. I'm testing LST on the sativas.

Then I have two plants that aren't doing well; they're considerably behind the others. I'm going to remove them; there's no time to waste.

with the skunks I am in 11/13 from germination until harvest, there on the sativa I test the 11/13 until the beginning of flowering and I will move to 12/12 until harvest.

I've a few updated pics to share, vegged in 12-12, I continued with 12-12 for 3/4 weeks normally I'd go 11-13 to flower it undoubtedly speeds things up.

12-12 from seed no doubts it's the best move I ever made in growing weed šŸ˜

Have I got this right you're going to increase the light by 1hr, how does that work out?

It's something I've thought about, ideally getting through stretch then increase the hrs šŸ¤”

I have never done it myself, but I imagine it would be great for a sea of green āœŒļø

Yes

for growth I will be in 11/13 until the beginning of flowering and during flowering I will switch to 12/12. I noticed that under 11/13 during growth, the plant develops faster, and I think that during the flow the 12/12 should increase the yield.

I test everything possible
