Should I switch to 12/12

[Reedseed]

Hi ! This is a 6 weeks old Blueberry Haze aka (Blue dream) in a 3 Galon mixture of organic soil and coco coir. I’m testing this method of growing and see what happens.
i have been using water only. My question is should I switch her to 12/12 now or wait a bit longer perhaps ?

Your knowledge and thoughts are appreciated.
Thanks a bunch !

keep on rolling

6 weeks old from sprout? I can't tell how large your grow space is, but I would transplant into a 5-7 gallon pot and let it veg for another 4-6 weeks before flipping, if your space allows. What kind of light are you using? Do you plan on adding nutrients? You'll probably want to be adding something along the way, especially since coco doesn't hold any nutrients.

Her birthday was 11/13 and She’s been under 300W cfl ever since. I do have 2 tents one for veging and the other one is for flowering. In my other growing methods I do use Foxfarm nutrition. And it’s great stuff.
For this particular plant I’d like to just try very mature coconut water as nutritions then flush with water because mature coconut can be very sweet.

If I were you, I would increase the light you are giving to the plant. If you can afford even a $150 LED from Galaxy Hydro, etc, I think you'd have better results this far along. I dropped my 2 seeds in water on 11/13 and they sprouted from soil on 11/18 and are huge bushes under my LED. I am doing a scrog and on week 9 of veg and will be flipping to flower soon myself. What kind of light are you flowering with?

Just FYI, I use 300w cfl on each plant when Vegiing .And for the other grow tent I use colofocus 600W LED .
Ok then I will do the transplant into 5 galon now and then in week 10 I will switch her to 12/12 .

A quick 2 questions for you !

How do you sprout you seeds from water ? And what temperature you keep your seeds in the water ?

I never used water method seed sprouting . I just use the old fashioned way 42M jiffy peat pellets .

Thanks

You can drop seeds in water and let them soak for 24-36 hours and sometimes they show the taproot and sometimes not. I then stick them in wet paper towels and a couple days later, they are ready for soil. This next time, I will use URB Natural microbial to inoculate the seed prior to germination and then stick in a jiffy pellet in my new dome and use the heat mat to get them started. The water temperature was straight out of the faucet and then eventually lowered to room temp.
