Phanthan's first grow - Diesel Ryder (outdoors)

This is my first grow ever, and it's taking place outdoors somewhere in Europe.

Info:

• 10/10 seeds germinated
• 5/10 plants survived
• Planting date: 16-06-2008

Gender status

• Females: 1
• Males: 2
• Unknown: 2

15-07-2008: The biggest and only female one so far



19-07-2008: The males so far



19-07-2008: I moved the males about 15 meters away from the original grow area. Is the distance ok? It rained like hell today and i had not the right stuff with me, so it was the best i could do.



07-19-2008:
That's all for now. I'll get back there within the next couple of days and return with an update.

Oh, i forgot. Also feel free to comment in my grow journal!

I will visit my grow tomorrow, and i'll return with an update and better photos.

I forgot to mention that the female one is budding (i think), white hairs has begun to show atleast.

Peace!

Hmm. From what I hear males can pollinate from many miles away. There a reason you're growing out the males?

Well i thought about making some hashish out of the males and the trimleafs of the female/females.

A second thought and i think it's just to much work, since i have to find a new grow area which is far away from the original one and buy a new mix and so on.

Gender status
1: Female
2: Unknown
3: Female (white hairs has started showing)

The two males are now dead.

1 is looking pretty good as well, she has grown a lot since i was there the last time.

Feel free to comment!

Nice job man! keep up up! Just a few tips, go very easy on the nutes with DR and be patient, i waited alot more than i thought was need with mine and as you've seen its definatly worth it! Get a mini microsope to check the trichs is your best best!

After ive harvested and cured ill be doing a strain review so keep a look out for it!

All the best!

Keep us updated with pics

Thanks for the tips!

I've not used any nutes yet, i thought about start using them soon, but that just changed, i'll wait a while. I'm glad you said i should go easy on them.

What did you meant i should use the mini microscope for, observe so i know when to start using nutes or harvest time? I think i can use a magnifyer and my better camera, i've done a alot of really close pictures using this messy technique, it works great. I'll try it the next time i visit the plants, if it doesn't work to great, i might buy a 'scope.
What mini microscope do you have, or which is the one most woth it?

Yeah, i'll be checking out your strain preview. I've not heard a single one review of Diesel Ryder, so it's going to be interesting.

All the best to you too!

Yer be VERY easy on the nutes, i didnt use any at all, i just had very good soil and the power of the sun!

Yours will get nice and big with all that root space!

Ive heard everyone say they (all lowryder strains) burn really easly! Yer camera and magnifier is ok, but i used it for this grow and i can see the trichs so much better!

Anything 30x and up, i got one of ebay a while ago, look there or just look for pocket microscopes, im sure ull get lots to choose from

Peace!

Keep it updated

Yeah, the rootspace it a little bit over 50 liters.

I'll try the camera-zoom + magnifying glas the next time. From previous results, i think it's going to be pretty ok + some awesome closeups.

Now they are just nr.1 and nr.2, both girls. The one in the middle was a guy, so he had to go.

Some flower closeups of nr.1:

They grown much since i was there the last time. I get more impressed by Nr.1 for every time. Buds, buds, buds, it's all over her!

Enjoy these closeups!


Some budporn from Nr. 1:






Some white hairs from Nr. 2 (way behind Nr. 1):

I bump this thread because all the attached images were missing when the update was posted.

looking awsome mate cant wait to see the end result

Nr1. is budding pretty good, buds everywhere.
Nr2. has just begun budding.


Some budporn from Nr1:

Look at those buds!

How many days do you guys think it's left to harvest Nr.1? This is my first grow as you know, and i really don't want to screw up.


Please comment!

Nice healthy looking plants mate! Keep up the good work!

U need to be looking at the trichomes, harvest when cloudy or amber! I think she needs to fatten up a bit. The trichs are the answer, get a mini microspoe, its worth it.

Im smoking some at the moment! Great uplifting celabral high! Cant stop smiling when u smoke it
