12/12 From Seed Experiment - 21 Strains

Yes all Silica no matter the brand you should add it first if not you will see your nute water turn a cloudy milky color. This is not good and will lockout nutes and cause deficiencies. I learned the hard way lol had to dump a whole res smdh

Chapter 3 Update
Day 54
Flowering Day 21

Everything is going quite well. It's becoming pretty clear which plants took to the octagon early on and which ones didn't take to it for a couple of weeks after. I can't really capture all of the buds growing in the group shots...they just are not big enough yet but there are TONS!

Does it seem strange to anyone that some of the pistols are already starting to wilt to change color? Could they be getting too much light perhaps? Or maybe the heat? The temps in the room do not exceed 82 degrees.

The only thing I have seen make early hairs turn brown is pollination. Have you been around any males?

It is getting big in there!

Look at all of the flowers

Are you backing off of the N and giving them PK and micro nutes?

Nope. I better start weeding thru all of these and make sure there are no balls floating around. Ugh...That would be catastrophic.

Probably too early to be getting selfed. Unless you have some True OG from seed. They always throw a few male stem flowers. Clones are safe.

Don't wear clothes that have been outside and don't let people into your grow room. A few seeds won't hurt you though. Are you going to pollinate any of the flowers?

Alright. Nobody but me is ever in there. I'll be cautious about my clothing too. I won't be doing any pollinating quite yet...that's 2 chapters from now

Based on the forelast pic it does not appear to be from pollination. When pollinated they don't all turn brown from the tip only.

Besides pollination there are a quite a few possibilities, environment not being optimal, from night temps/humidity, to too much nutrients.

Alright. Well, as usual I'll just keep a close eye on things. I'm still seeing some of that curling under as well as some leaf spotting too.

My eyes are so bad - I didn't even see any brown ones in those pictures!

2nd from last picture. I can take some closer ones too. I'm probably just being overly sensitive to the slightest of problems.

Being able to see more on close ups is handy but sure can cause unnecessary worrying too. I don't think you have to worry, its leaves look great so can't be terribly unhappy. Brushing your arm or something against them can have the same effect.

Quick update regarding PH as well. When I flushed and refilled the rez yesterday I mentioned that I used less PH down. The mix came out to 6.5 and slowly climbed to 6.8 throughout the day. This morning when the lights came on the PH was down to 6.4 and I just checked now and its down to 5.9. We'll see if it stabilizes here...I kind of think it will. Tomorrow morning will be ready for a topoff so I'll report back how it's doing.

If it is just the tip of the hair then you are fine. Normal wear and tear.

You'll Laugh Paradise Seeds - Vertigo Autofem was a Freebie, and well I've not only been reading up on 12/12 but also Autos on 12/12 from seed.. just had to try..

I'll like to see what comes from that because your not doing the normal on a auto which usually states for at least 18hours of light so will be interesting to see how it goes. Its just a test run anyway so its good to use freebies that aren't much to us. Paradise had some good stuff tho ran 3 fems from them my first indoor grow and boy they were good the Nebula was very very good. Need to get a few of those to run again wish they would make regs again but seems like Paradise wont do that again

Hey gang...quick question.

I've begun to transition from 5 or 6 day reservoir changes to the technique of simply topping off with fresh water and nutes every couple of days. Adding 5 more gallons to my 27 gallon reservoir every two days is the pace I'm on. My specific question involves ZONE. I've been operating under the assumption that the plants are not consuming ZONE and because of that I've not been adding more to the topoff. Can anyone provide feedback on how to properly use a product like ZONE when a reservoir is constantly being added to but not changed frequently?
