Heya Joan

First off, thanks so much for the kind words. Im very happy with how this turned out. In fact I was so happy that I started a Diesel Ryder SOG in the mini fridge right after this grow. I have a thread going on ICMag due to more friends on that site. HERE is a link if youre interested. Im currently 2 weeks fro harvest and should be posting a pic update tonight.

As far as the sunshine mix goes, the bag is not real specific. Here is a picture to help ya out, just ignore the other stuff its for my herb (Basil, Oregano, Thyme) garden. The bone meal I got from a local nursery.



And as for the perlite, yeah any perlite will work. Just try to avoiding the miracle Grow stuff because it has nutes added, which will sometimes fry the plants.

With the molasses, I recommend any brand of Black Strap Molasses. Black Strap is more heavily processed and contains more micro nutrients than any other kind of molasses. I add it every other watering while Im using nutes, then when I stop using nutes (2 weeks till harvest) I use 2Tbsp per gallon every watering. I read this helps the plant produce more resin before harvesting. Always give your plants a good flush with only water they day or 2 before harvest though.

Good luck on your grow, and feel free to post a link if you get a thread going for it!! Let me know if you have any other questions.

Peace

Just out of curiosity, in those first pics, how were you flowering and having ll your seedlings in there? 12/12 from seed?

he is growing anauto flower strain so he is using 18-6 of 20-4 light schedule . youuse the same lighting though out the whole grow doesn't matter like a normal plant

Correct. Thanks for stepping in Crazy


Autoflowering strains do not need a 12/12 light regiment to flower. I had my fridge on 20/4 for that entire grow. Since then I have found that I like 24/0 for the first 2 weeks, and 20/4 till harvest better than 20/4 for the whole grow.

It seems that the plants grow more in the first 2 weeks with 24 hours of light, and they even started showing sex sooner, at 12 days from seed!! I also got more females when using 24/0 for the first 2 weeks but Im sure that was a coincidence.

why did you scrape offf the white enamel paint? its an exxelent relfector like aluminum foil.....? just wonderin

that diesel ryder looks tasty. i hope mine turn pink/purple for a lil bag appeal

Thanks bro!!


I didnt scrape any paint off. i scrapped out all the foam to reveal an unpainted surface and I applied a couple layers of flat white automotive paint. Even 2 layers didnt look good but it apparently reflected just fine


Thanks man, yes it is very tasty! Especially after a week or more curing in a jar! The purple, however, is mainly caused from heat stress. And if it gets too hot it will burn like my most recent Diesel Ryder SOG did. Every top was dark purple then one day I noticed a lot of the leaves and even a little bud was starting to get burned. So make sure you dont get it too close to your lights and you should be fine. I hear very low temps can have the same purple or pink discoloring effects, but can hurt your plant if you aren't careful.


Peace

You have the starts of a good setup. Have you thought of using C02?
