Thanks VV, if I do well on this one maybe I'll get a sick set up like you have for next time. I can hope so at least...

I went out to HTG Supply again today and picked up some Fox Farm Ocean Forest potting soil and three pack of fertilizers. I don't want to have to deal with Miracle Grow issues all through my grow. It served its purpose. I have enough money to upgrade though and I think it will be worth the money. I also bought a gallon of Odor Killer gel. It was expensive, but I'm pretty sure if I keep the odor from getting out of hand I won't get caught. I'm not using much electricity and my spot is out of sight, so the odor that should come with flowering is my main concern at this point. I am transplanting my seedlings to 1L pots tomorrow and I'll take pics for future reference of when to transplant.

I am going to fill in a few things that I think are missing from my journal.

Watering: I have been watering my seedlings in the solo cups just about every day with no nutes. Those little cups don't hold much water and with the heat of the HPS, it evaporates a lot and dries up the soil. I will water twice a week for my plants in larger pots. I am watering on Saturday nights and Wednesday around noon. The Wednesday waterings will have nutes.

Nutes: From here on out, all my feedings will be on Wednesday according to the instructions that came with my Fox Farm Trio feeding chart in case I lose it or it gets destroyed as well as for anyone else's use. They are listed in number of tsp/gal by week for Grow Big and Tiger Bloom and Tbl/gal for Big Bloom

weeks | lights | liquids/concentrates |

I just have to sit back and wait until they are ready to transplant.

I am going to abandon my original plan of staying 18/6 through the grow for two reasons.
1) I think I can get quite a bit of bud from the Lemonhead (bagseed) if it turns out to be a female and don't want to herm it by keeping it in 18/6 too long or lose out on the benefits of the HPS by putting it outside or using another light.
2) From what I have read the Short Riders might not be fully autoflowering because of the breeding and I want to stay on schedule.
I will switch to 12/12 two weeks from today
18/6 never caused a plant to herm cheif

I was under the impression that a mature plant could be hermed if it wasn't allowed to start flowering. I guess I'm wrong on that one, but there's no need to be condescending to me in my thread. If you weren't doing it on purpose my bad, but let me just say that nobody I know calls someone chief without trying to be a condescending dick. That is, unless of course you meant chef or something else. Your spelling was a little off. If you want to post in someone's journal be informative and explain the advice you give.

So I transplanted my short riders to one liter pots the other day, I thought it went pretty horribly b/c they weren't quite ready to make a smooth transition (no solid root ball) but they are doing well since I moved them and are obviously not shocked by the transplant. They should do much better in the bigger pot with the better soil, my bagseed plant took off after I transplanted it, so I hope the same happens with my Short Riders. I'll post pics tomorrow of my girls at the three week mark. I want them to get a lot bigger before I switch the lights, and I'm hoping for a lot of growth in the next week or so. I fed them yesterday for the first time, so it wouldn't surprise me.

I 've had insomnia real bad so I was up all night and switched up some stuff in my grow room to reduce temps during the dog days of summer and clean it up a bit. Pictures tomorrow

No offence was intended, I was looking forward to seeing the short ryder auto flower and thought the info i provided will come in handy. You can get plants to hermi if you over flower them by several weeks but you can veg for years. Handy if you want fem seeds . I am a very experienced grower in all departments and if you want my advice just ask. I was looking forward to your thread as i have some Short Ryder too now as well and wanted to see if they were full auto, All right chief to me is like saying you ok boss its just a figure off speech.

Some useful advice would be transplant into 1-2 gallon pots if you have the space as this would avoid transplant shock as auto's need to be treated slightly different to other plants where potting up advice is normally recommended, You should read the joint doctors Low ryder guide as the plants are the same type and will provide loads off useful information.

Also top the bag seed as this will buy you time for the ryders to catch up and give you two cola's as well. Then you could employ some LST training for big yields.

I wouldn't feel right cutting one of my plants at my level of growing experience. I might try it if I had more plants. I understand it's not all that complicated, but if I somehow managed to ruin my biggest plant it would reduce my crop way too much.
