berry ryder second try

Hey all. This is my first post excited to contribute.

I am on my second berry Ryder and almost at harvest I think...

So with my first, I definitely harvested early.. this ended up with a weak high so this time I am trying to let it go longer.



This was from my first harvest that I think I chopped to early.. anyone agree?

This is my new baby and I think its getter closer... can anyone tell me roughly how much more time I should let it go?

I'm looking for advice so I don't waste another crop. My first go I at least got about 3 ounces dry of some low quality... but I'd rather not have to roll 2-3 gram blunts to get the high I want

did you look at the trychs before you pulled them? how long was the total process and how long was it flowering?

judging by the pics on the new ones, looks like it needs to cook a little longer. also looks a little stressed out... how are the vitals?

i didnt look at the trich's the first harvest. most of pistils were still white but what happen was the plant just fell over because it couldnt support the buds anymore. at that point i just chopped and harvested. i didnt track the time :/ i need to start doing that.

thanks for advice, i will be patient. why do you say stress? the yellowing of leaves and leaves dying off is part of the process right?

my room sits at 100 degrees fahrenheit with my 400 watt super hps even in winter time so maybe thats not a good thing either.

here are some better pics without super hps on and with camera flash to help me determine how much time i have left. the pistils should retract into the calyx which then swells the calyx right?

another question i have is about the strain itself. auto berry ryder is suppose to get some purp in it from a lot of the pics i have seen... does purp usually come later in flowering?

2-3 weeks at least needs Nitrogen too

thanks i will give it at least 2-3 weeks and post update. you see nitrogen deficiency?

I always thought it was smart to let the nitrogen be after they start blooming, as in only feeding potassium and phosphate. The leaves on the buds will start to yellow and all the other leaves will basically be used up and dead. IDK I think you're doing just fine keep em going though.

thanks maryjane. i will keep em going for at least another 2-3 weeks and post pics.

If you have a grow fertilizer mix some with your bloom. Some strains require more Nitrogen in later stages than others do. In my opinion your plant needs a little more nitrogen to finish in 3 weeks.

100f is a bit high. I'm by no means an expert but I would try and drop that temperature more into the optimum range if you can. I believe that is the stress someone was mentioning earlier, heat stress.

As for the color, BerryRyder will get that nice blue hue to it if you drop the night time temperatures of the plant to around 65f-68f. You'd have to check on the posts below but I threw up a picture of my BerryRyder that does have some blue'ish to it. LED/HPS combo I used makes it hard to truly see in those pictures though.

esinohio, thanks for the advice. i am going to try to get some airflow from my garage since its close to my setup and see how it goes.

thanks lockedoutofheaven, i will mix in some fertilizer and report back with results.

You pulled too early , I would wait until the pistils are about 80 % not white if you dont have a trich scope. Generally when a plant is getting close to done it will look done, Get yourself a dedicated calendar for just your plants and keep track of what and when you do things in your garden, This way you know how long it goes for and when you watered it last etc etc. As for the heat. 100 degrees is WAY to hot. You do not want your plants to be over about 81.5 f for extended periods of time cause it stresses the plants. Definitely get the heat issue taken care of. Good luck

good looking plant! post more pics next week. how is the smell? GL

Those look to be some very nice plants as of the last pic. I grew this strain out and was very impatient, cut them a little early, but I do have to say it was one of the best overall highs I have had from any auto. The cured smell and taste was of a very berry lovelyness and very good high! I do not see what everyone is raving about with "weak autos" they grow and produce just as well as photoperiod plants, they must be given the same love as your photos, any all but the yield will be just as good as most photo plants.
I am all for growing autos, they give good yields for the limited time they grow. There is no need to grow with a timer hooked up and change in the middle of growth, they grow to fruition all under one time schedule. They are fan-freaking-tastic! I can pop and let em go all year round outdoors and just keep the bugs off em as best as possible. they in turn give me a great headstash and help relieve the emotional tension and physical aches and pains. I hope you continue to grow and grow and grow all with autos to show the rest of the community that we can make some great smoke of the connoisseur quality they seek.
