Closet Grow Easy Ryder

Ok this is my third grow, first journal. I'm starting the seeds in wet paper towel then moving to rockwool for the first 12 days. Afterwards planning on moving to moisture control MG soil (not a place within 100 miles with FF), since I had really great success with my auto NL's in it.

I have my photos on 12/12 and want to sneak in a quickie auto, this one says 70-75 days til harvest, we'll see. Growing with CFL's (homemade seed germinator out of a 4 gallon rubbermaid container with 3 13 watt 5500's. Usually germinate more than one at a time so I'm just gonna use 1 light on til the 12 day mark when I'll transplant it. So wish me luck, I may throw in pics of my exodus cheese and blue widow as they finish flowering (in 3rd week now).


Basic stats for seed:
Lowryder Easy Ryder (AKA Lowryder #2 x AK47)

This is an f1 cross between a Lowryder #2 and an automatic AK47 in which the two parents strongly exhibit their best genetic traits: high resin production, the fruity aroma (of a carefully selected Lowryder #2 phenotype), and the size and branching of the AK47 automatic.
This poly-hybrid is fully auto-flowering and matures in 70-75 days from germination, reaching optimal size if given enough light (intensity and time). The best conditions are 20 hours of light and 4 of dark during the entire cycle.

First baby pic! Also threw in a pic of my germinator (granted I probably should have cleaned it) but that's 4 gallon rubbermaid container that has 5 light connection points and 2 half size computer fans, run off a timer, that I use either with domed rockwool normally (which is why it looks like the side is dirty, that's actually the bottom, but this time I'm using it on it's side to see if I can get a plant to grow well with tiny cfl's and a lot of movement lol.

Day 10, put a tiny amount of food in the watering today. Baby girl looks very healthy! Coming along rather smoothly so far.

Baby's 14 days full of happy and healthy. Another week and she'll get moved to her bigger apartment.

Had a bit of a stress situation with the transplant and a slight yellowing on the edge from the first feeding, and stretched. Had to plant the rock wool about an inch deep so it looks around the same height. Been nursing it, seems to be doing fine.

It'll be ok What size pot did you transplant it into?

Just a slightly larger one, a half gallon. I usually do that so they'll fill out a root ball then move them to 3's for autos and 5 for photos. I think the party cup for some reason wasn't draining and the roots weren't doing so well is the reason I transfered it because it's rather old to be so small and I'm gonna try and save her. She's acting like she's nute def. but the ph is 6.3 and I've been using 12-12-18 which is what I usually use on autos til like week 5 then swap to an 8 16 8.

Found the source (es) of my problems, roots got tangled in the rockwool and I had fungus gnats. Clipped the leaves down since they were basically translucent, gonna see if I can save her. This is the first time I've tried a rockwool in soil instead of a rockwool under a dome approach and I don't recommend it lol, I might just top this bitch and see what happens.

Shit. Sorry to hear that mate. Keep us posted on the progress

She's recovered pretty well looks like, I did lose the lower 2 branches so now she just looks stunted instead of ill. I like to test new techniques on autos since they show problems faster so good I learned what I did
