Doing a 12/12 from seed works better than most people think - especially auto's

Well I'm now on Page 13 and Post #258 by HdS, Oct 10, 2014.. WoW!! I'm not even into 2015 yet.. Bloody Good Read though HdS 12/12 from bean WILL be my next Grow.. again very interesting and full of Info.. even checked out the Link to NoMercySeeds.. .But all Regs(not for me anymore, each to their own though) Quick Splif break and back to reading.. ..

That doesn't sound right, SpeesCees was a pioneer in feminized seeds. The one I've grown years ago was fem too.

Quick question.. I sprouted my Lemon Kush. She is a really strong seed. Had a tap root in 36 hours.
Should I just pop her under my 400w HPS or would you advise putting her under some CFL or LED for a few days/weeks? I have her in the corner of the tent in a sort of shaded area. I feel like she is going to stretch for the stars.

Chapter 3 Update
Day 51
Flowering Day 18
Hey everyone. Sorry I've been a little MIA...got busy with life. I'll try and keep this update brief.
It's been 5 or so days since the nutrient lineup change. Everything is going great although I experienced the same dramatic PH drop which caused me to add more PH Up than I would like. I'm slowly learning and will probably do a full water change in a few days and if the PH is sitting at 6.5 then so be it. It will drop 3/4 of a point within 3 days and by then I will be able to top off and bring the PH back up a little. I'm trying to use as little PH management as possible.
I'm also still in the process of thinking about the next design. Hope to have some exciting updates on that front soon.
On to some pics.

@cc2012 - I'd like to give you a proper and warm welcome! I've been lurking the last week and saw tons of likes coming from you but have not really had the chance to reply. I see you started all the way at the beginning...impressive! Again, welcome and glad to have you.
I've been collecting a massive amount of data. Things like Avg/Min/Max height. Avg/Min/Max girth (I'm calling girth how much space into the inner space of the octagon they are going). As several of you pointed out, there simply is no lean whatsoever...pretty interesting really.
I've also been carefully measuring and taking lux readings to determine the true shape that a vertical light covers. Again, pretty interesting. Once I finish with the 1000 I'll perform the same measurements on a 600. I can tell you now, it is very likely this next design will incorporate 2 600's stacked.

Totally up to you. I've had nothing but success putting them right into an HPS or MH. That said, I've seen plenty of people that do just as well with CFL's too.

HotDiggity the girls are looking good! I do not run 1212fs, how many weeks do you expect the plants to stretch during flower? Curious if that is why you are thinking of stacked 600s. I have seen a 1000w vertical with a light mover if you want to keep using that bulb/ballast. Question, the silica guys may need to chime in, but could you add the silica after the res pH has started dropping to offset that? Or would it precipitate out?

I thought about adding silica instead of PH Up but I was chicken and didn't. I don't have enough experience with silica to willy nilly it.
Regarding the stretch, it should be about over now. They will still get taller as the top colas grow but I think the majority of the height has been realized. The reasoning for 2 600's stacked is a lengthy explanation. I promise to share all my thoughts on this fairly soon. But basically it comes down to the footprint of a vertical bulb....its very circular. I'm going to be able to have more than 2x the number of plants vs a single bulb due to the overlapping. But as I said, I'll bring numbers with me when I start discussing it.

The light mover idea is intriguing...you've got me thinking again

@whodatnation - had two octagons side by side with one light mover attached to both bulbs. When one bulb went up the other bulb went down. Back and forth.
@DST has two 600w bulbs in a tube in the middle of his vertical grow.
I saw a picture of a tube as big as a car that rotated on its side. the roots of the plants were on the outside and the leaves were on the inside pointing towards a light. There was a tray of water underneath that the roots would roll through as it turned.
All I have is dirt:

Let your nutes dictate the ph try not to use adjusters so regularly if you can. Try upping the silica a lil more as it raised ph pretty good. Cant remember if your using RO water or not but if you are you should prolly use some tap water with the RO well help with the ph. Everything is looking amazing bro your killing it cant wait to see the progression and finish

holy shit SOG! i've been MIA for a few weeks and am just getting caught up on some of the grows — these gals are goin' NUTS! in the first pic you posted today is it just my eyes, or have a couple of those lower cindys stretched all the way up to the top tube? very stoked to see how well this experiment is working for ya.

lol...I'll have to double check. The C99's are just crazy. I can't even really tell what's what in that sativa mess. I'll check and see if any bottom rows have reached the top.
