2 weeks from sprouting from seed. First sprouts Jan 25 2010

22 Days in. All plants but Short Rider Been FIM'ED (Fuck I Missed). Luck of the draw. Last time i got 4 colas.

Added Home Depot Mylar Covered Insulation to all walls. $22.00 for 24X25 roll. Helps reflect heat and keeps the LEO'S from seeing my heat signature.

Had some Fruit Nats invade my grow when opening door up. Sticky fly tape fixed issue.

Small update. Plant sizes will be measured throughout grow. The Short Rider Auto Flowering Plants Are Very Interesting. 2 are very slow growing. The feminized Short Rider is just exploding with Pistols and growth has been extreme. Feminized Is the way to go with this Auto Strain from Nirvana .

Lights on 20hrs 4 hrs off.

Will be moving to 18 on 6 off and cycle down to 12/12 after 8-9 Weeks Veg.

Temp 79F
Radiant Heat 84F
68F With lights off

1000 Watt HPS 3ft from plants.

Lemon Skunk SMELLS BADLY. Odour control a must with this strain.

Humboldt 8"

Ak-48 6"

Short Rider Regular Auto 1 8"

Short Rider Regular Auto 2 5.5"

Short Rider Auto Feminized 16" Already Flowering

Fruity Chronic Juice 8.5'

Nemesis 9"

Will be posting more pictures and updates in a few days. Dropped camera other day and busted it gonna get new one..... Had to Chop the 2 Regular Low Riders Down. Males. Wont ever buy regular short rider auto flower seeds again.

Update. 35 days in from seeds. All is doing well. Short Rider Auto is very sensitive to heat. Vent Fan went out for a few hrs after tripping breaker . Fixed. Already flowering and getting pretty big. No other plants affected. Been feeding with Organic Tea mix.

Eye Hortilux HPS for vegging kicks ass. No stretch at all. All very bushy and green. HPS Light bleeds out color for camera.

Lights changed to 18 on 6 off. Going to vegg for 3 more weeks. Then flower.
