My First Grow - Snowryder Short Stuff

What are you using for nutes?

Nah I decided to leave the leaves, they are the power for the plant (pictures)

Seems like the plant is sucking all the goodness and energy of those leaves away. Stems and inner leaf is still a nice-ish green while the rest tapers off into the yellow, seems like its feeding on itself.

Its interesting though because all around the budsites the leaves are all a greenish colour, not perfectly healthy obviously but still some good colours.

Il probably go check again monday then move it to my buddies house for its final 2 weeks.

Wish me some luck fuckers!

Im not familiar with autoflowers really but applying what I already know Id remove the larger fan leaves, if nothing else youll open up more light for the lower buds which is crucial for the last couple weeks. If your planning to harvest in 2 weeks or so do a flush in the next couple days and dont water until is dry then give it one last watering and let her dry out. Just before harvest turn all the lights off and keep her in the dark for 2 days or so and chop her at the base of the stem. When its time to start trimming remove the larger leaves and clean the buds up a little bit then keep her in a dark dry space that has some air movement, when the branch snaps in your fingers you can really start to manicure and make them look pretty. You could enjoy your harvest now but you really REALLY want to wait at least a month or 2 before you do to ensure your harvest has a full cure and you get the sweetest smoke.

Edit: congrats on your first grow! i remember my first grow, i ended up with 5 males... lol!

Can't wait for the pics tomorrow. Hopefully your friend hasn't killed your plant on you. People have a tendency to over-water.

Looks like burn to me, I'd second the flush idea. Nothing that can't be fixed pretty easily, though, if we're right!

Going to be picking her up tomorrow and bringing er to my buddies house. I think I'm going to start flushing depending on how shes doin.

Its really tough being able to keep a healthy plant when I only get to check up on her once a week

Ill throw some pics up tomorrow as well. No luck on a loupe but if I can get one shipped to me this week Ill be in business.

Sorry for lack of responses/posts, started my second job this week and there just isnt enough time in a day.


Edit: Is it just me or is RIU's setup different now? Not digggin it one bit....

* hahah its been so long I was clicking the wrong things, I guess its just a few little touch ups, in time Ill get used to it I guess

Got the pictures and shit on my camera, forgot the camera cord

Next week? Maybe, Il just take some on my phone and throw em up for you guys sometime this weekend. Idk if the buds are going to get bigger, I sure hope so.

Main cola is a decent size, nice smell and look, little buds on the sides are like little popcorn buds. One is way small, like, tiny little .3/.4 nug the other 2 aren't to bad looking.

Hopefully 1-2 weeks away!

So some good news! Main cola is really starting to fatten up. Little side colas are doing alright
I hope to see some fatness grow in them this week.

I don't have any bloom nutes which I think I've previously mentioned, and I'm still slightly concerned about the yellowing and stuff of the leaves. Where I have it now her brother has some all purpose plant food 20-20-20, I'm wondering about feeding it some until the end of this week then flushing all of next week. I don't have the loupe to check trich colors but I guess it wouldn't be a horribly early harvest, maybe a week max, if it's even early the buds on the main cola were looking real nice so ya never know.

I want to post some pics for you guys asap but we will see what happens, I will get pics up forsure by the end of the week but a lot can change from now to then.

Does anybody think the all purpose 20-20-20 will cause any problems or possibly even help?

I havent given it any nutes since the 10th I believe which was a 10ml/4L mix at half cup diluted with a half cup of distilled (precautionary) sorry for the massive update just kinda giving a run down since I don't seem to update to often.

The long run is almost over, harvest should e done by June 5th

EDIT: The nutes I used on the 10th were the pro blend veg, I have a pic and n-p-k numbers on page 4 I believe.

The leaves look burnt, and probably from the nutrients than the heat you are kicking out. I would remove the worst leaves and go back to water only till it picks up again. Hopefully you can save this yield in time.

Heat is not an issue in my box set up, and I can almost gurrantee it wasn't in my previous location (an entire closet with 2 fans, 1 24hr and 1 18/6) The lights I also can't see causing an issue, I;ve used the rule of thumb (holding hand above plant for 1 minute to see if its hot) and Ive kept the lights at a constant 2-3 inchs away (Althought there is 2 Y splitters so the plant is surrounded by light.

I actually don't feel the yeild will be too too dissapointing. The main cola is a nice solid nug. It looks beaut to. My concern is more of the little popcorn nugs on the sides. They seem to look like buds in week 6 of flowering not week 8....but time will tell.

I was debating about starting the flush wednesday, but only a 3 day flush (Planned to harvest on Sunday) and yes I know the plant does not look fantastic. I haven't given up but with this close to finish anything I could do now I feel would be almost a waste of my time and money. Its for my own enjoyment with friends and just to be able to have it harvest and bud to smoke is a success to me.

Im looking into some 60 day wonder seeds and some 60 day lemon auto's and possibly some other seeds (Any suggestions?)

Here's some pics, horrible compared to my others but this is all I could manage to get (was waaay to high) (Ya leaves are droopy but like I said, besides water Ive given up giving it anything else)



EDIT: Maybe not Wednesday for flush and Sunday for harvest, I might just let it keep going for a week or so then I can be positive it will be close to if not at its ready for pickin stage

Such a sad day. Checked on it today, not good. Within one day it managed to completely go from bad to terrible. Everything died. All the leaves were gone, everything is dry. I think when the pot tipped over in the car the other day, that messed it right up. Monday should have been harvest day, cause now Im just left with dry crusty buds.

Im still going to smoke them lol I have them all chillin in a jar atm, jar is open and sittin in my car. I really dont know where else to put them.

Heres a pic before I chopped it. Very sad, I will never grow a plant again where I can only see it once a week, seems like I need to constantly be able to check on it.

I smoked a lil bud from the main cola, kinda felt high actually. Straight pic no dry no nothing, just pic and finger bust. It didnt smoke well, needs to be dried for a day or 2, and idk about curing seems almost useless.



Final Thoughts: Everything seemed to be going good from the beginning, it seemed like it was going to be a wonderful plant. But then this happened. My first grow I thought would be a success, and it has turned out almost as a failure, not a complete failure because my cities dry atm and if I can smoke this for a week, fuck ya lol, but it seems like a failure. I killed the little guy and lost a huge yield. I expect like 10 g's maybe because they're pretty puney buds and little and dry and crumbly and sad. I will leave to dry in a jar for like a week, maybe just a few days, then do a little trim of whatever I need to trim off and grind and smoke. I wont post a smoke report obviously because it would not do justice to the bud, but I'll post on how the high was. I will continue to grow come August/September so don't forget about me RIU, I have a big suprise for all of you come Sept. Think commercial, but personal.

Oh man that really sucks! RIU was apparently having issues with email notifications of subscribed threads, since I literally just got the email for the post you put up like 3 days ago.

I say for your next grow, keep the fertilizer to a bare minimum. That's my philosophy, and I think I agree with some of the other people that fertilizer burn accounts for much of your plant's decline. I'm using just a very mild dry fertilizer, at below the recommended dosage, and my plant seems to love it. Obviously different strains will be different, though!

Better luck next time! And make sure you post something in this thread when/if you start a new journal, so your subscribers here don't miss it.

Man I do agree. Next time I will be sticking to a Bloom Nute with minimal feedings. It was stupid of me to buy Veg Nutes when the initial veg process of an auto is like, 3 weeks. I will forsure be doing this again, like I had stated in one of my journals, this is just a practice run to make sure I can actually do it. I've done it, I learned my mistakes, seen the problems, and hopefully I do not make the same.

As of right now me and my buddy have 7 OD's goin on anywhere from week 2 to week 6 out in a bush. I might document them and throw em in a journal and if I do, you fellow readers will be informed.

On a High Note I trimmed up the bud last night. It obviously wasnt the trim I'd expect but it was decent. The bud, for how shitty it ended up turning out, is awesome. The aroma from the main cola made me quite sad that the plant only reached this potential from my mistakes. It is crazy good smelling. The smoke is unreal too. No cure just trim and pick, it was crazy smooth. Had a few rough tokes but never coughed once, which suprised me. And i got pretty fucking high from smoking it. I smoked a rather large amount (5-7 bowls throughout 9pm-12pm) ususally I only smoke about 4 bowls or a few doobs of some OD and Ill be good, but this made me real high. And It was not a couch lock high either. I was giggly, really high in the head, and just was having a good time (we watched the original Willy Wonka part way through the night.)



It's sad that the bud didnt reach full potential but I would actually suggest this plant to people. From just the easy grow ability with minimal requirements (obviously it still needs some love but) and the final bud, makes it a great personal plant. I may grow one of two of these again come September.

Looking into some new plants, anybody have any suggestions? So far I've narrowed down some Auto's too: 60 Day Wonder/60 Day Lemon, Autoassasin, Kush Van Stitch, Dr Feelgood, Mi5, and possibly some medi buds.

Hey guys long time no talk! Well I started going through my camera and noticed theres some pics of the bud I forgot to upload. And as you can see from the pics I definitly missed the perfect harvest time

In light of this though I thought I would share because she really had some beautiful buds.




Also here's a pic of some danky ass White Rhino I had picked up earlier I just found it on the camera and wanted to share

September is close though! For those who followed this grow may be interested in following my next grow, this concerns you!

So I will have 2/3 projects going this time. 1 Scrog and 3 Auto's.

For my SCROG I have decided on a Bomb: Ice Bomb.

My 3 autos, currently I have one 60 Day Wonder Lemon Auto

and currently debating about Short Stuff: Mi5, Kush Van Stitch (OGXLowryder), NL Auto, or an AK47 or AK48 Auto. Any suggestions/pro's/con's/previous grows of these strains?
