Running Acapulco Gold 12:12 from seed thoughts

[SteppinIntoTheLight]

Just wanted to know what others though of / had any experience with growing a sativa 12 12 from seed in a 2 gallon pot of coco. I am short on space and also want to tame the growth.

Thanks

I’m sure others with more experience will chime in, but you could also consider vegging them a bit then running rooted clones at 12/12 or even 11/13.

I have some Guerrero green x Michoacán going from a one foot clone in one gallon pots. They started flowering right as I put them outside about 9 weeks ago and they are still 4 feet tall!

I hear the clones help keep height down as does the smaller pot.

I personally don’t like 12/12 from seed, it doesn’t flower until it reaches maturity anyway.
What I would do is as the colleague says, grow the plants and start with rooted cuttings directly to flower, no veg… making veg in 2 gallons of coconut is a lot, trees are made, the 12/12 I would start flowering in a 3-liter pot or less and when the stretching is over I transplant a larger one… anyway I don’t know anything so let’s wait for the experts. Blessings.

TBH, I’d wait to run AG until you have the space to do it right. This plant insists on getting BIG and arguing with her is prolly a losing battle.

Lots of good info in the AG Repo thread:

It should work well. Here is a similar strain, Canabiogen’s Panama, run on 12/12 from seed in 2-3 gallon pots.

I did a month long veg but trained them to be very short. They exploded into 4’ monsters.

@Pigeonman is working with 2 weeks veg right now I think.

@Foreigner

is working with 2 weeks veg right now I

I totally am! It pissed off the plants to be nice and smol. If that’s your goal try it as it’s working for me.

I topped a 12 week Sativa once and it worked out well. I topped it around day 17 of flower. I’m vertically challenged for headroom.

Plants need to mature so they wont start flowering for a few weeks anyway, you would be better off vegging them for that time. Use topping and LST to tame the growth. Or at least that’s what I would do.

Recently I took 4 clones in 2 gallon fabric bags
Let them get 6 or 8 inches tall and flowered
They finished at 4 feet tall and were topped & super cropped
Great yield

Tent hight was 57 inches filled up quickly

It’s what khalifa genetics does for their seeds runs, so I imagine the plants wont get huge

Planted directly in 1 gallon pots and from day 0-14 I ran them at 24/0 before flipping to 12/12 has resulted in a sativa run I could have done in a 2x4
