Most won't show until about 6 weeks why slow their growth with 12 12 from Start until they show? Can have larger better established plants imo if doing 18/6 or moreyes, in order to reveg, thanks Jah
Well that 6 week information is a game changer. I'll just wait. It's just that I'm talking about plants I'll be giving away, I'll just have to wait way more before giving themMost won't show until about 6 weeks why slow their growth with 12 12 from Start until they show?

I keep mine in small cups now until they're about 6 weeks, clone them, put the new clones under 18 hrs and the old seed plants i cut back to the last 4 shoots and put them under 10/14 to show. Before i used to root cuts under 12/12 but i think the seed plants will react faster to the 10/14 as they already have a root system supporting them.
Good one, i know the trick of 48 hrs darkness before harvest and i can see how this will work for gender reveal too. Thanks!That's a good method Jahnova and similar to what I do with new plants except before they go into flower cycle, I put the seed mothers into complete darkness for 48 hours if ithey have a good dose of sativa in them. This gets them to show sex sooner and allows me to get the area allocated and get those really stretchy ones flowering straight away.
I always believed that doing that would/should make it show faster as the hormone to initiate flower builds up over time so I assume it may cut 2 nights or more from the time if done normally.Good one, i know the trick of 48 hrs darkness before harvest and i can see how this will work for gender reveal too. Thanks!
politoed,said: " or even paying for a sex test if its that urgent."
I have a friend who sends in a leaf of each plant for a gender test. Test is $8USD per leaf. In a couple years they have been wrong only once.

Have you seen my NHM ? I took cuttings from a seedplant several weeks in flowering and got a very vigorous mother now.Thanks for chiming in on this question. I guess I was wondering if anyone had any experience starting off a seed at 12/12, and whether or not it could be worth it. Normally I would just grow out my plant from seed, and take a cut asap. Then put the cut @ 12/12 asap, or do the mother @ 12/12 right after making the cut
I've tossed a bunch of bag weed seed onto a patch of decorative landscaping stone surrounding a patio mid summer one year. I never thought a thing about it until I found 17 colas about 12" long 9 weeks later... pretty good smoke.Thanks for chiming in on this question.
