Click to expand...

patients is not my strong point either ..... i have hardly any finger nails left at day 20.... 40 days to go!, and counting each of the 57600 minutes

Good looking plants. I assume the 20 days is from seedling right? Is that all the light you have is the 2 CFL bulbs. 150 watt or?
Good luck.

yeah but there lookin nice man keep it up, ima put some pics up of my door later nd seen as you are the inventive type lol maybe give me some tips on light proofin it

thanks buddy! i'm well impressed with them... and more impressed i havn't killed em yet LOL .... there are 3x 125W duel spectrum cfl's in there (1 for each plant)... started with 1 untill they moved into the large pots... then became clear i needed more light fast!

and yeah 20 days from breaking soil.... i germed for 2-3 days then straight into light seeding soil (john innes seeding + 20% crushed purlite) started counting when the seed pushed through

damn dude your stems are thick as fuck. That little video camera thing is sweet as shit.

Thanks matey... i was actually looking at them today... both 1 & 2 have chunky stems and you can see each stem ridge branch as it comes off at each node (i'll try and take a pic tomorrow to explain)... they are amazing things... plant three is thinner and has purple on the top of every branch?? .... and cheers i was well happy when i found the monitor and camera worked so well (its very clear when not photographed) ... it didn't work in the house????

Oh yeah, Im excited about 40 more days and my ryder will be drying. Im sure that will be some tasty bud Youre plants looks great though really, I think they are finally big enough for the ferts and I think the ferts arent as strong now. Youre plants are looking fab

hopefully we'll both be doing a smoke report at christmas then ..... &

oh yeah man, oh yeah... Happy freaking smoke report...

xmas will be very merry this year... haha

im so glad to see some other ryder growers that like me are planning on having a christmas harvest as well. I have 2 lowryders going and are very comparable to your plants.

crimbo harvest probably out the window for me but My fingers are crossed anyway - "LIfe is like a cab full of bag seeds... you never know what you gonna get" pmsl

Nice update trout! your girls are turning into bitches! For real! I can't believe the amount of growth in a week. Mine are similar too with the growth, but as I have them tied down it's hard to tell.
I'm thinking (always thinking lol) that I may let them loose after this week and allow them to bush upward for a little while and then continue with much lighter training after.
Am about to check my cab, after 24 hours of leaving them alone :S

Also the H setup seems to be working well for you

looks like yours started flowering about the same time as my big bitches, we have some time to go still hahah. looking real gravy

yeah man let them grow.... then have another play, i know its hard not to fiddle, but while i was away for 2 days they did better without me poking the shit out of them ... i find myself lifting leaves up looking for mites and checking growth below (i keep thinking i should have LST'd them and pinned everything down) ... but i have 2 more green o'matic seeds to crack when i'm a couple of weeks from harvest so i might get funky with those ones..... and today i thought i might look into what people are doing for simple (cheap) foliage wash, WTF? i'm turning into a nerd!

Not much to report... temps are fine, dont need water for a couple of days now.... had to raise the lights a little this morning, they have really started taking off now they have more leaves sucking up the lumens

yeah H system works fine, not going to mess with it now because id probs drop the reflector and wipe the plants out LOL .... they fit thanks to having a runty plant ... keep the taller christmas tree in the middle and the stumpy one to its right cos that lamp is a little lower ..... next time if i'm still using this cab i might do the last 2 Green o'matics and 1 photo period skunk #1 .. while the Green o'matics will take 60 days seed to harvest, i'll veg the skunk plant and lst it for the same 60 days then switch it to flower on auto harvest day... i'm might be getting ahead of myself

View attachment 1880818 this is for Cumbers ... and any other Bio Bizz user without a chart

see what i mean about using both grow and bloom nutes together untill the final week/s of flush?? ... i am reading it correctly i think, i'm using light mix so im doseing according to that

Felt a little cheated as i had done my day 21 update a day early... so i have included a couple of pictures of my stems (AKA Trunks lol) ..... and just for good measure a day 21 group picture


see what i mean about funky looking?.... i can see the veins and where they turn off the trunk to head towards the leaves.....( or the other way around LOL)....
