12 Hour cycle right from germination?

Has anyone tried throwing the plants into flower as soon as they germinate? I was considering this method on account of the limited time I had to finish another grow attempt. If anyone could direct me to some previous threads, that would be appreciated.

there is a topic called 12 12 from seed a different approch or something like that.
You can see results from different strains with this method.
 
I AM CURRENLY GROWING 12/12 FROM SEED...WELL I ACTUALLY LET MINE VEG FOR ABOUT 2 WEEKS THEN I FLIPPED THE SWITCH. IF YOUR LOOKING FOR A SMALL PLANT THAT STILL PRODUCES DANK WEED, THEN THIS IS IT...ALL MY PLANTS ARE CURRENLY UNDER 2 FEET AND THEY ARE ALMOST 4 WEEKS INTO FLOWER...WILL LET YOU KNOW THE RESULTS...YOU CAN SEE MY GROW ON THE LAST PAGE OF THE LINK ABOVE...

I dont know milkman, looks pretty sparse to me. I much prefer vegging for a long period of time

If you read that thread of Atmosphere's, you'll see how well it can work. There are some considerations and tradeoffs. 12/12 from seed is not for everyone. I'd do it in a flash if I had a lot of bagseed to play with.
 
Y7ES LIKE I SAID, U GOTTA WANT SMALL PLANTS...I DONT PLANT ON PULLING MORE THAN AN OUNCE A PLANT BUT I HAVE SEEN PEOPLE GET 1.5 OUNCES...THE WAY I LOOK AT IT, IS I HAD 6 FOOT PLANTS THAT PRODUCED A LIL MORE THAN AN OUNCE A PLANT, SO IF I CAN CUT THE SIZE IN HALF AND STILL GET SOME GOOD QUALITY SMOKE, I'M HAPPY...THIS IS MY FIRST TIME 12/12 SO I WILL KEEP YOU POSTED...BUT THE RESULTS HAVE BEEN PROVEN NOT REALLY MUCH TO ARGUE ABOUT...HOW MUCH DO YOU GET PER PLANT WHEN YOU VEG FOR A LONG TIME? ATMOSPHERE HAS BEEN GROWING LIKE THIS FOR YEARS WIOTH NOTHING BUT GOOD RESULTS...READ THE THREAD ABOVE...

starting from 12/12 right off the bat is like trying to teach a 3 year old how to drive a car.

Sure the 3 year old will learn but she'll probably crash and burn

Plants like to be vegged though.. What you're doing is creating more photosynthetic capable tissue that can be used later to direct and harvest a larger amount of energy towards flower production. If you flower right off the bat you're making your baby girl drive a car at age 3 man. Its better to wait until she's mature.

But do what you have to do, it will still work. just not as well

not as well meaning what, the plant wont grow? it will

the buds are of lesser quality?? buds are buds, genetics dont get altered by doing 12/12 from seed.


lesser yields?? yes, however, you can get an extra harvest every year to make up for it.


small plants?? yes, but it allows for more, smaller plants to occupy any given area.


plants like to be vegged?? did they tell you this?


knowledge is power :joint:

Not a very good analogy and untrue to boot. Have you actually looked at Atmoshere's results? Have you read his thread? Have you seen what others have done with 12/12 from seed?
 
FROTH??? R U SERIOUS???

FROTH??? R U SERIOUS???

THANK YOU, THATS WHAT I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO SAY. DO PEOPLE ACTUALLY READ THREADS ON HERE THAT PROVE RESULTS OR DO THEY JUST YAP OUT OF THERE AZZZ. IF YOU COULD GROW A 2 FOOT PLANT AND GET AN OUNCE OF WEED, OR YOU COULD GROW A 5 FOOT PLANT AND GET MAYBE AND 1.5 OUNCES, WHICH WOULD YOU DO? THIS METHOD IS ALL ABOUT MAXIMIZING YOUR AREA. YOU COULD GROW A LOT MORE SMALL PLANTS UNDER A LIGHT THEN YOU COULD BIG PLANTS, AND YOU COULD EVEN SAVE A LITTLE TIME AND SAVE HAVE THE MESS AND HALF THE MONEY ON ALL UR NUTES.. THEN YOU TALK ABOUT QUALITY!!! THERE ARE PEOPLE ON THIS SITE GROWING IN 1 OUNCE SHOT GLASSES THAT ARE GETTING A 1/4 OUNCE OF SOME GOOD BUD AND IT IS NO DIFFERENT QUALITY WISE THEN THE SAME SHIT VEGGED FOR MONTHS....STILL NOTHING LIKE A 3YR OLD DRIVING A CAR...A PLANT IS BORN TO GROW, I THINK IT KNOWS HOW TO DO THAT...ALL U NEED IS SOME GOOD WATER AND A NICE LIGHT...

IF YOU REALLY THINK THIS IS A WASTE LOOK AT THE THREAD ABOVE AND SEE THE RESULTS YOURSELF...ATMOSPHERE WOULD BE HAPPY TO TEACH YOU ANYTHING...


FORTH READ THIS LINK THEN TELL ME WHAT U THINK

guys, take a toke and sip on some jack. All I was trying to imply is that in nature, as in the outdoors, its traditional to plant most crops at the beginning of the growing season. They veg for a while and then are triggered into flowering either by some genetic factors or by changes in the duration of light when the season starts to change. It's the natural way of the plant.

I didn't mention anything about quality either.. Don't worry.. i'm not trying to challenge the fact that hundreds of people have had success with this method.

It sucks having words put in to your mouth.

I will stand by the fact that plants with more leaves can harvest more energy from light. Its simply the fact that the more photosynthetic centers present in the plant the more light that can be converted to energy. (Any knowledgeable heads in the field of plant biology feel free to breeze me on this one)

This aligns with what rkhone says about smaller yields starting from 12/12. ALthough it doesn't matter much because like he said you can go through more cycles in a given year so you'll make up for the loss..

Anyways, nothing like coming home from work and seeing a couple heads yelling at you on the forums..

Using caps too much will shrink your prostate gland milkman... I read it in the encyclopedia =)
