Nirvana Short Ryder

Anyone else trying it this year?

My thoughts so far
First auto grow, have to do them outdoors (Great lakes region). Got the seeds promptly from Nirvana and immediately went to paper towel germinating, 4/5 popped in the first 24 hours. After 48 hours the 4 that popped were put in some topsoil mix I had.
I'm about 3.5 weeks in so far and the weather has been pretty favorable, yet i've lost 2 plants in the last week. One due to stem breakage, for some reason it would just not stand up and when i went to brace it *d'oh*. The other looked to have croaked from overwatering, which is weird since the rest of the plants were fine and it never really rained anywhere close to what I would consider "a lot". Oh well.

Remaining 2 have been coming on strong, clearly enjoying a lot of direct and indirect sun exposure. Can definitely pick up faint skunky odours and their colour is a nice healthy green. They seem to like the outdoors, but these plants seem kinda frail in their seedling phase compared to photo's i've done. Logistically I couldn't start them indoors, but if i had been able to start them under a light at the beginning of may and transfer them outside after a few weeks they would likely be doing better, it's a learning experience.

Should be done at some point in August, I will keep updating this for anyone curious.

I have 7 Nirvana Short Riders growing outdoors too, just in the ground not pots at 6weeks & 4days now. I made a grow journal from the start so you can check that out to see the progress, its in my signature 4 of my 7 ladies started to flower at about 6weeks, its a bit later than autos usually but growing outdoors is slower cuz u cant control the weather.

So dont worry if they dont start flowering at 3-4weeks, its more about the amount of leaf nodes & maturity of the plant than time with nirvana autos.

Good luck with ur plants and let us help each other since we are growing the same strain outdoors
