what would the cookie x ryder seeds be just regular until i do another cross with another auto. so okay.. REG x AUTO = CROSS REG (cookie ryder) seeds... COOKIE RYDER x AUTO = Fem seeds or reg seeds. I know have to spray them I've read about the spraying and the pollen i believe its called lol.

Yup, you've got it! :lol:

Cookies x Lowryder = Non-Autoflowering Cookie Ryder (regular Male and Female seeds)
Cookie Ryder x Auto = Autoflowering Cookie Ryder (regular Male and Female seeds)

You take one of those Autoflowering Cookie Ryder females and spray her with colloidal silver, then she will create FEM seeds,

Timelapse Video #1 - Blue Mystic & White Widow, First week of 12/12 in 2 min 30 sec

Here is a Timelapse Video of this past week's growth.

This is really awesome to see the growth like this, pretty much the exact way I would want to view anyone's journal. Excellent, +rep.

Quick update--

End of first week of 12/12.

I found out that the carbon scrubber is slightly raising my temps..and with higher temps comes lower humidity. I'm goning to keep misting the plants until buds start to form.

Hope everyone is doing good. I'm very pleased with the growth that I've seen from my ladies. So far everything is going swell. I'm feeding them fresh water this week, just because they look like they're doing alright for now.

Now I'll let the pictures & Video do the talking

This is so awesome. Was it difficult/expensive to set this camera up to get the timelapse video?

What's up booort?... Thanks for the compliment, I'm glad you enjoyed the video!

Difficult? Not really, I'd say medium difficulty setting everything up. If you've ever added a cell phone to a wi-fi network, then you should have no problem setting up an IP camera. I had to configure my cell phone, ipad, and laptop so that I could stream the live video feed to them, but that was really easy too.

Expensive? My cam was free because my girl swiped it from her job, and the timelapse software was free also. But I've been looking into some better quality IP Camera's for HD video..they range from $80-$200 on Amazon, those are pretty good prices for the quality.

Temp: 75°
Humidity: 35%
pH: 0
TDS: 0ppm

Day 17 of 12/12

I'm drying them out this week based on the recommendations of Arjan at the Greenhouse Seed company. Supposedly it kicks the plant's metabolism into over drive if you flush them once at the beginning of the week, and then let the root ball completely dry out. I'm going to keep this up until week 5 of 12/12 and note the evidence.

DinaFem RoadRunner #2 Auto. Day 83 (Day 20 of 12/12)

I kept the temps around 65° at night, the buds turned purple around day 70.

She smells super fruity, like a bowl of fruity pebbles! I wont have a huge harvest, but I'll have Super sweet smelling, sticky, frosty, trich covered purple buds.

Here she is a few days before harvest.

Barney's Pineapple Express Auto. Day 83 (Day 20 of 12/12)

I kept the temps around 65° at night, the buds turned purple around day 70.

She smells very funky, but also with a hint of citrus. She is by far the smelliest plant in the tent! Not a very huge yielder, but I've read that she prefers soil over hydro, so hydro may have caused her to grow a little weaker than she would have. The buds are super frosty, and rock hard... very dense!

Here she is a few days before harvest.

Going to look into one of those ip cams, your time lapse videos are epic "grow porn" to me. What would really be awesome is a time lapse from day 1 sprout through harvest, but I'd guess that might be difficult.

Can you expand on this? I'm not going to attempt it, just wondering about how you go about drying out the root ball. I see your holes for the grommets were drilled about 2" from the bottom of the container. Are you leaving that last 2" of water in there after draining or sucking it out somehow after you flush?

Hey booort,

Exactly. I leave the last 2" of water in there, but I shut off the pumps so that no more water is fed. I'm hoping the heat and the air flow will cause the remainder to evaporate.

Here is the video that taught me the technique:

That video is amazing. They discussed drying out the roots for 4-5 days to ensure oxygen to the roots, that seems like it would hurt or kill the hydro plant... Am I hearing this correctly? I need to turn off the pump for a few days? Twice? Love your grow documentation, beautiful.
