Great thread, jrw's pictures in particular have inspired me to throw some Sensi Silver Haze under 12/12 from seed. I'll do my best in attempting to recreate those single pot mini SCROGs!
1st time only water,when bloom started Pokon for cactus,recommended dose + pinch of MgSO4 each third watervod said:what do you feed them? Are they in soil or in coco?
Cannasmoke I currently have 9 nirvana k2 on 12/12 in one rubbermaid bucket. I read in here or maybe @ 420 SpeeCees and atmosphere talked about starting out with hps,because I have a ak48 at 26 days flower thats what i did. mucho stretch until i put them under floros,but then they acted just fine. as of last night i could pick out about 5 girls but still dont see any males. also i used a 2nd run tea bag with 8-4-1 guano and earths superswell to jump start them and so far everything is working out......FreeFall
Hi all I ve been experimenting with 'flowering from seed' quite few years now
conclusions:
all strain can be grown with this method but
sativas /sat dominant strains give better results , ind dom strains don't perform well but it depends on strain , pure indicas need their veg
growing from seed 12/12 is not much different than vegging a week then flipping to 12/12 .. in both cases you can start sexing the plants as early as day 16-17 (males) . I count days from the day the seedling breaks the soil .
I 've noticed that although it would be more logical to see that the plants that didn't get a week veg should start sexing faster , many times the ones that get a week veg still catch up and again start showing sex by as early as day 16 (males).
I have 10 plants under a 1000w HPS, and they are currently on day 12 from seed. The thing is, they still haven't even grown a set of true leaves yet. I had them in small plastic cups thinking that it would suffice until I transplanted them into bigger pots. I just got all of them into 1 gallon pots except for 3 of them, which I will finish tomorrow. My question is, did I completely fuck up here and stunt the growth? And if so, how bad is it going to effect my yield? Please somebody, help a brotha out!

I 've tried few landrace pure sativas like African RooiBart & from sat dom hybrids SSH and MangoHaze . SSH and MH performed great really. I 've grown Neville's Haze but I grew it 12/12 from clone not seed so it doesn't count tho I d like to say this is a perfect candidate for flowering from seed as its a late finisher, over 13-14weeks. The more sat in the blood the better thats for sure.
Other sat/ind hybrids I tried flowering from seed , but are less sat dominant so not as good for 12/12 from seed , include La Nina (its Widow x Haze , and has some quite sat dom phenos in the mix) , AK47 , G13xSkunk#1 (performed quite well) , 'A11 G' x Blueberry , 'A11 G' x ICE Princess
From the more indica leaning ones I tried Critical Mass , Early Queen , Flo and few others these didnt perform as well either.
Generally I think strains that take over 70-75 days to finish (when flowering seedplants not clones) are the ones that do well when flowered from seed. Anything faster and you start loosing yields imo.
Here are few pics from my SSH that were flowered from seed:
day 60 from seed:
day 73 from seed:
86 day from seed (ssh is the plant in the middle):
closeup day 86 again:

a list of what works might get 2 big. maybe it should be directed at what won't workso can anyone "summarize" on what strains are good for 12/12 from seeds?
mabe a list, or start a list?
