So basically i could use the toppings from uncle bens method, and put those toppings on a 12/12 schedule to see what gender plants i have theoretically cant i?

Yes you can. The roots will grow out as it's flowering on 12/12. Then you can plant it & finish growing it on 12/12. You usually get a nice 1/4 oz. to 1/2 oz. of weed to smoke while you wait for your other plants to finish.
I take the cutting & strip the bottom leaves from it. Shave the outer skin off the bottom inch lightly with a razor & stick it in a 1/4 cup of water & mist it. Change the water & mist daily. It will wilt & look like it's dying at 1st but in a couple days it comes back.
Got this from a guy called Weezard on my very 1st grow. Worked great as I was growing all Bag Seed plants.
 
It grew roots while in the water so planted it & grew a Bud-cicle.
Weezard was a real character. He had a homemade co2 Bucket system he made that made wine at the same time & was always building LED's. He'd grow amazing plants with just 50 watts of LED's.
He had some companies sending him their prototype lights to test & make suggestions for improvements. Pretty good guy. I've been trying to get him to come to this site.
 
Funny we should talk about this now as I have 6 different kinds of Reg. Seeds. I'll be growing some of these next grow so I will be doing the 12/12 cuttings myself when I do it. Got a while before I start that. At least 8 weeks. Maybe I should do a journal on that plus throw a re-veg or 2 in the mix.

Yes get your buddy over here, he’d probably like it.

Hoping to. It was Him & Emilya that put me through my very 1st grow on another site. I guess I can say the site since it no longer even exists. One day it was there & the next it was gone. No warning at all. It was cannabis.com. Didn't have many members left when I found the site. They didn't encrypt so people left. Can't say I blame them. The few members that were still there were all pretty cool though so I hung out.

I’ve never been there, sounds like it would give me the willies.

I didn't know it wasn't encrypted til well into the grow. Too late at that point. Just figured all these sites were encrypted. Now I use the Duck Duck Go search engine along with the sites encryption.
 
So last night I had some extra time & decided to do my up-potting. Now 1 Blueberry & the OG Pie Breath are in 5 gallon grow bags & the other 3 are all in 2 gallon pots.
Not a lot of bud on the Critical's so far. One of them is turning orange already. Didn't get much the 1st time I grew it either. I guess it's just the strain. Not all that concerned about them though. I'm more interested in these Blueberry Plants.

I’ve never grown a blueberry that tasted like berries but I love the high.

Hey PW, should I be concerned about these roots ? Not much room left in these buckets. I'm going through about 2" - 3" worth of water every 12 hours. Starting to wonder if there's enough room to finish these plants in 5 gallon buckets.
 
Pennywise said:
They would just have to be topped off more often so whatever is easiest for you.

I think they'll be done in 3 weeks or less so hate to go buy Black Totes just to finish them. Guess I'll fill more often. Starting to notice some bud swell now on one of them. Figure that means I'm in the final 2 weeks + on that one. Only 5% Red Hairs & some crystals forming so got to be closing in.

I'm curious ... How much yield do you get vegging that long? Most I ever vegged would be about 50 - 60 days at best. What size pots are you using for that ? I usually stop at 5 gallon but have been thinking about doing a grow with these 10 gallon Geo Pots.

Sorry Buds, missed this question.

A lot of my plants are grown during the summer and flip themselves with the sun, so an actual veg-time is tough to gauge, but here are some of my recent 7 gallon cloth pot grows that I actually flipped:
Candida 1.0: veg 117 days, 209 grams
Candida 2.0: veg 118 days, 197 grams
Fruit Punch: veg 77 days, 213 grams
Golden Tiger: veg 78 days, 321 grams

Here is a chart of last summer's plants, but it only has total days with roots (works for clones and seeds that way), which makes it so I can calculate grams/day.

Hope that helps.
 
Didn't realize you grew outdoors. You calculate all the way down to grams per day ? You like to get technical on things I take it ... lol.
 
I got that from Van Stank. He actually uses it in his grows, but I just find it an interesting comparison.

And we have the Blueberry & OG Pie Breath in 2 gal. pots. They are on 3 gr. MC per gallon at 36 oz.
They will be up-potted to 5 gallon bags this weekend & the MC will go up to 3.5 grams per gallon for these 2 girls.
Everything seems A-OK so far. No issues yet. Hope it stays that way.

I'm running 50% - 55% RH @ 77 F. I have the Auto Critical's Flowering & the 5 Photo's in Veg so kind of went down the middle with the RH.
 
I’m trying to dry my grow but RH has been pretty high and after 7 days 1 is just about ready to go in containers but the other is still not ready and is the most sticky plant I’ve ever had.Got me worried if it doesn’t hurry up.First grow with MC and tsl2000 and blown away how good it went

I usually don't have to worry about too much humidity. AZ. being so hot we don't get much of that.
I have more trouble getting it up to around 70%. I have to use 2 - 6 gallon humidifiers in a 5' x 10' tent to achieve it. 1 will only get me to about 55% RH. So when I dry my RH is only about 30 - 35% without any humidifiers. It usually takes me 5 - 7 days to dry a plant.
