hey Raw J,
I'm a couple minutes late for some of your harvest.
your buds look amazing. I wish I could sample some of your RR.
Aso attitude has short stuff seeds now.I'm thinking of getting some russian rocket fuel & snow ryder

later
Thanks for stopping in bro even if you're late.. Yeah man, that Roadrunner is crazy. Like it much better than the Easy Ryder imho. Very smooth and a great mixed high.

Yeah saw those short stuff seeds...I might pick something up when I grow my replacement AKRs..

Big momma did not overgrow the tent which is a good thing... Got her under a 400 now and things to be going alright. Got the same problem with the leaves as I did my roadrunner. Turning yellowish with brown spots. I have flushed her out a few times and put her into a huge pot now. Can't shake this shit and I dont know whats the problem. The runoff water from flushing was fine so I know there wasn't any ph problems...been feeding normally even with cal-mag. I'm beginning to think less is more in terms of watering...I know what I have to do..I just don't take it easy enough I think.

Either way I think I'm going to try out hydro and see how I do. I actually put the two of the clones I had left into a small DWC hydro system I havent tried yet.. Washed off all the dirt from the roots and ran with it...so far so good.

I'll post pics up of everything tomorrow..

PEACE BIG J, I'm glad to see that you are still optimistic about the afghan kush ryder and you are still working with her. I know the thing you have stated about the watering thing is a fact with the autos in general. The things that I have read tell that the ruderalis gene in the plant is INTOLERANT OF FREQUENT WATERINGS (irrigations so it says) and so it is wise to no flood autos with too much water because it will hurt their overall yield. My guess is that since they are plants that are used to the sun always being out, they tend to have developed a way in which to reserve the water like a cactus and there fore not need it as much. NOT CLAIMIN G TO KNOW JUST TRYIN TO HELP WITH WHAT I HAVE READ.

Got some new things in the works J (started some MANGO (KC Brains) and AK47 autos along with a La Woman freebie). Last crop went terribly wrong at the end and is no more :cry:, but this will be different. Great to hear things are going well for you.

BE SAFE AND KEEP IT GREEN

Thanks man, the thing is about this plant is I don't know what it is... It's not autoflowering or an AKR so who knows. I guess I can make a guess when it's harvested and I try it. Might be able to pick up on a taste or something. I am going to grow the 3 AKRs I got for a replacement next though... That will be exciting under the 400 watter.

I'm sorry to hear about you last grow going south..What happened?

If you got a thread on your new grow link me up..Later man

Here she is along with the two clones I put into the small DWC system. The clones are still adjusting since it's only been a few days, but I think they might make it. They are just starting to enter the flowering stage as well...Probably shouldn't have transplanted them as they were transitioning into flowering, but I don't really care...it's just an experiment since I eventually want to do a few hydro grows..

Hey Big, it's been awhile, thought I'd check on the mystery plant's progress. She's looking good and filling out nicely. The move up to 400 watts should make a big difference in your end product, right? Any heat issues with that in your tent? I decided against an indoor grow - life's too short to be messing around with a plant in my closet. I'll just wait a couple of months and do some more autos on my balcony. I still have 2 of the Easyryder seeds, but thinking about getting something with more of a kick to it. I checked out Attitude, and many of the good feminized auto's are out of stock.

Happy Growing!

We are at the six week mark and things are looking not too bad. She had some problems with heat because of the 400 hps I put in a few weeks back and the new hood put the bulb about 6in from the top of the plant. The top of the plant got burned a lil bit, but I just removed the lil burnt piece and gave her a massive trim of the old fan leaves and she seems happier. I even notice some bulking up on the top in two spots since yesterday. Looking good I think..Gonna be a big haul.

PEACE BIG J. HAPPY NEW YEAR! The plant looks great! I am looking into getting the 400W either conversion or hps off ebay soon. I 'm also getting the tent in for the next grow, but I have to get this finished first. I have a LA Woman freebie from attitude going right now and some autos along with 2 Mango. I've been just trying to get things right and I see you are still doing the damn thing. Damn I wish my Afghan Kush Ryder was as big as that one and trustfully I will get them in the next two months or so. That will be for the next crop. Still here watching......

BE SAFE AND KEEP IT GREEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks man, Happy New Year to you too. Thanks for still checking on me. If you ever get a journal going, be sure to link me up.

I'm going to be starting a few new seeds soon under my t-5 so when this beast is done, I'll be ready to really get the veg going on the next batch. I have quite a few seeds now and trying to figure out what's next. I know one of them is gonna be an AKR for real this time. I really want to see what these things do. I have a bunch of other seeds, just trying to figure out what's next.

Attitude's having a deal coming up on the 8th-11th, when you buy 15bp~$25 you get three free fem seeds from DNA...Sharksbreath, Rock Lock, and Lemon Skunk. I can' pass that up even though I just got an order not that long ago.. I'm gonna get Bubba Kush from GHS and maybe a Pak. Ryder to go along with the AKR. I'll be set for a few years with all the seeds I got then.

I need to read this later...not at 430..haha
Sweet man, it's a journey I've been through...but worth the read! Thanks for coming in!

Sweet man, I wound up getting that deal last time with the 15 seeds also, so I have a lot of seeds now. I'm actually in the process of building a growbox that's gonna be 2x3x6-7 so I can run a veg box or whatever along with my tent. I have a lot of new things to try this year so I figure get some more growing area so I can do more at once!
