I put 2 Pakistan Ryders in soil on May 5th. I found out about a month ago that World of Seeds had some packaging problems. In my case, at least, I am actually growing Pakistan Valley. I started going 12/12 as soon as I found out. They are now, finally, budding up quite nicely. I'm a bit disappointed they're not auto flowering, but I'm gonna get a hell of a bigger yield and it's going to be some superior smoke!! I can't wait!!!!!!

Any tips to increase yield? Just picked up an Afghan Kush Ryder, this will be my fourth grow but due to small grow space have been kind of disappointed with small yields.

try keeping your humidity as low as possible during late flowering, it won't increase your yeild but it will heavily increase the crystal production on the buds they'll frost up big time.
you could try molasses in the last few weeks. you will get fatter tighter buds with a smoother smoke and taste. and some people say it dampens the skunky smell to more of a coffee (but i cant vouch for that)
there's always super cropping if you're feeling dangerous

Thank you.

Hey Inquisitive, are you going to start a journal? The reason I ask is because my (as well as quite a few other people's), Afghan Kush Ryders turned out to be non-autoflowering and had to switch to 12/12.

I did, it's here: https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journals/248375-world-seeds-afghan-kush-ryder.html
Was at 24 hours for the first three days, now it's on a 12 hour schedule.
Will definitely have to keep tabs on these strains, i mean we bought them for the autoflowering traits, right?..

Dude dont give advice that a newbie would give,. The only way to truly know is by the color of the trichomes. Did u just join the forums or what ?? LOLOLOLOLHey, you should harvest the plants when 75% of the white pistil hairs have turned orange, thats the optimum time to harvest.
That's actually a pretty good answer, 75% would be when the buds are mostly done growing, 50% is also an ideal time. Some people might say less, and that it would give you a different high (i've seen a forum specificly about this), but it just simiply has less thc, so the absence of thc seems to give it a different high (so in that sense they are right). But it would make most since to let it finish and get more bud, then smoke less to get the high preffer. It's "not" the color of the tricomes that gives the buds it's high, it the strain, Sativa is uplifting and energetic, and Indica is a head high and narcotic like. And if you would have actually looked at the forum, it's creator quit posting, so there is really no need to answer this question. I just hate people putting out false information on the forums.

You want to incorporate multiple factors into time to harvest, first is thrichomes, most common is about 50/50milky-amber, hair color usually coincides with the window(1-2wks) of appropriate time, last thing to look for is when most of the hairs start to recede into the actual bud...one more thing about an above post about low humidity last couple wks..that is absolutely helpful in fully developing the most thc your particular strain is capable of. Basicly as I understand it the dryer the plant thinks it is, it produces more resin glads in order to not dry out and preserve itself. Give the plant 24-36hrs of pure darkness before harvest and try to cut down when soil is dry and right before the light kick back on...thats about all I can think of for harvesting tips...hope things went well

i have made my own auto flowers.. i grow in a PC case and i use 4 23w=100 2700k color temp with 2 55mm fans i use all party cups and i planted 7 seeds in the cups and i cross breeded starting all seeds on 12/12 after 4 gens of breeding these seeds i now some how have a auto flowering bagseed but i guess it aint bagseed now i have crossed thses seeds for 4 gens so i guess its some random strain

These AKR's are legit...after i read a few forums i was kinda bummed on buying them...but there exactly 2 weeks from seedling and already showing hairs on all three..and im not doing anything special..im using miracle grow(i know people dont like miracle grow),no nutes,20-4,little fan in the closet with a some flourescent lights and some iluminum foil....as basic as it gets....first time grow and it couldnt be easier

guys, buy from attitude seedbank.. Ive always received exactly what I ordered.
I wouldn't recommend Attitude. They sent me two completely different plants. Completely different heights. One bulb. Told me to complain to the pic'n'mix seeds who are just as bad. 3 seeds failed - didnt want to know. 30 Euros wasted. They hide behind "souvenir only". I am going to buy directly - never again from them.
