Auto dwarf grow...

UPDATE

Everything is still going good. The White Dwarf is doing great. She smells great and when I take her out in natural light you can see her starting to get frosty. She is definitely done with the stretch and is focusing on pushing her colas up and out.

The Taigas also seem to be done with the stretch and are working on buds. The small mutant has shown alot of growth and is also making buds. Her main stem seems to have stopped growing shortly after her seedling stage. Her side branches are coming out now with buds. Her leaves are much darker than the other taigas. The taigas are smelling wonderful.

The blue mystic is doing great in her new pot and I have begun LSTing her.

On to the Pakistan Ryders... So far im disapointed because they arent really flowering... 4 weeks in and I see less than 5 calaxys on each... Also one is being tempermental about her nutes. She has some yellowing down low which looks like she wants more food than the others. PH is fine.
Going to try mixing seperate nutes for her at a higher PPM and see how she does. Not sure if I should force these into flower with 12/12 by just moving them to a dark tent. I will give them another week and see what they do.

Pic 2,3 - White Dwarf bud shots!! :D
Pic 4 - Close up of some PR growth. Looks like a lady in flower but nothing yet.

Pic 5 - The other PR who seems to want more food than the others...

All in all everything is still running smoothly even though I had some heat issues early on. Seems to be ok now with recorded highs of 88-89f.

what's in the dixie cup in first pic?? plants look real good too :jointsmile:

Thanks...

Oh thats my super secret weapon that increases my yield 300%.... I wish lol

Its just the empty cups after the transplants... Figured I could use them again so they are just sitting there.

Its amazing how fast these things go compared to a regular strain. Every day I check on them the buds visually increase in size alot.

Somehow yesterday my carbon filter fan plug came out of the socket just a tad and wasnt on for 2-3 hours. When I came home my new neighbors that just moved in were outside so I stayed outside to shoot the shit for a few. He then tells me to come to the back porch. He told me to sniff and I did and we both smelled the weed and my heart dropped into my stomach. He said "i bet its those weird foreigners across the way... i always see them out there smoking".

PHEW lol. I agreed and went inside and the smell was intoxicating almost. Had to attach the cord to the wall with some extra strong tape so it didnt happen again!

LOL thats funny as hell!!

Dam Foriegners!!!:admin1:

yeah it is better to live out away from others when your ventilation exhaust goes out the house smelling like a flowering skunk. AK ryders caused smell to drift 30-40 feet down my drive if i didnt filter..

Pulled a tiny open nanner off the stupid little mutant one... damn it.

It was only one and it was tiny. I dont think it will seed all the plants, probably just the mutant. Oh well I guess I might have some fem seeds...

I also finally found a way to add the 90w LED. I have it hanging on its side right next to the WD and the palm tree taiga. Definite results after 24 hours of use. The smaller buds near the bottom are now pointing towards the ufo and are much more frosty.

Also lowered the hps about 5-6" since I pretty much have the heat issue taken care of. Running between 80-86f with added UFO and lower HPS. Buds are getting bigger and look great... smell even better!

I will take some pics in two days which will be 5weeks.

good grow in tight space

Ok so its been 5 weeks. The taigas and the White dwarf continue their flowering. The taigas are still growing buds while the WD seems to be filling them in. The White Dwarf has a very strong fruity almost hash like smell.

The two pakistan ryders are still pissing me off. They have preflowers all over them but keep growing with spaghetti soft stems... not woody at all like a flowering plant should be. Im open to suggestions on what I should do with them.

All the autos are taking in 1445ppm nute solution with tip burn but are doing great otherwise.


They got some mollassas in their water the other day.


The blue mystic is growing fine but wants another repot.

heres some pics... they all look sad because they just woke up and I watered them very generously to flush a bit.

More pics

All are WD except pic # 3, thats a Taiga.

Notice on pic # 4 that theres two buds growing side by side and forcing the spear leaves to stick straight up.

I hope to get at least an OZ from the WD.

looking good been watching.soon they will look like this...

Nice looking buds... what strain is that? Do you remember your yield? It looks like at least an OZ on the first pic.

Im hoping to get at least an OZ from my WD and 1/2-1oz on each of the Taigas.

If those Pakistan Ryders ever flower im sure it will be alot because they are so dense it looks like a jungle with a thousand branches inside!

I will have to try and get a picture of it

Those are some royal autos' Which are a favorite , i recomend for the money. How old are the pak. ryder?What light and schedule? They should autoflower around 14-21 days.Never had a problem ,but did only one grow. I will look for pics.

they are both 5+ weeks old now lol. 20/4 light

Ok so almost 6 weeks have passed and they look good.

The Blue Mystic is doing good and growing. She also has a weird tiny leaf growing out of the center of one of her fan leaves... hopefully she buds out of her leaf, that would be sweet.

The Taigas are doing great. They are smaller yielding than the WD but the buds looks much much frostier. They have almost like an oak wood type smell. These should be a joy to smoke. Even the mutant is making her buds.

The White Dwarf is the biggest out of the autos. Her buds are getting fatter by the day. She is also starting to yellow which will progress further after I start flushing her in a few days. She smells of good hash.

OK... so heres what im doing with the "pakistan ryders" that im pretty sure arent. Someone mentioned to me that world of seeds had some mixups awhile ago and that these might be a mixup. Today I left one in 12 hours of dark and the growth literally exploded almost an inch. Im thinking they are just regular seeds that were mixed up. I will continue to put the one plant under 12/12 until auto harvest then I will clone the other and the mystic. After the clones and mystic get big enough the whole tent will go 12/12.

Heres some pics.

Damn those tagais and the emerald green buds look so yummy! I cant wait...
Who will be to my left when I pass it??? :stoned::stoned::stoned:

nice lookn plants.
How tall er those dwarf plants supposed to get?

I wanna be on the left; then the right!

Whats up lizard? Thanks for the kind words.

The Taigas are about 15-18" tall and the White dwarf is close to 24"
That seems normal with some other strains that are even smaller like lowryder.

Aloha
Da 'zard

looks good ...here's hoping I can aspire to such heights! :jointsmile:

i am gonna be trying northern lights auto's as well as samsara bloody mary autos. and another round of the royal. Looking good .

thanks for all the kind words guys...

According to the seedpacks they have 2-3 more weeks to go!

By that time the "PR" will be 2-3 weeks into flower then the whole tent will flip for the regulars to start flowering. So hopefully I will be harvesting every 3-4 weeks from now on.

The Taigas are not nearly as dense as the WD so hopefully in these next few weeks they will put on weight. One of the taigas has that danky grape type smell... love it.

The hairs are starting to turn orange now and are looking great.

My goal is 2oz dry to last me until the regulars start cropping. Also might try to make some buttter with the shake. Wont be much but its better than wasting it.

I still dont know if I am going to try anymore automatics... I have a few beans left that I will eventually grow out but after that im not sure.

Just took the "PR" out of the dark tent and back into the light tent...

Its been close to 48 hours in 12/12 for her and she is literally exploding with new growth. So much that I had to take a few pics of her. I spun her around for a front and back shot. Lots of pistils starting as well.

You can see her sister in pics 1 and 3 to the left... they were about the same size 2 days ago when I put her into 12/12. She is now towering her sister and gotten too wide to slide into her corner spot in the tent. Nice.

Might have to raise my light in the morning!

Wassup GtoD, you always check in on my thread and i never do on yours...sorry ! Will definately start followong along from now on :D what strains you got goin and what light you use ? peace

No worries...

I got some Taigas and a White Dwarf that are getting close to chop. Also have a Blue Mystic and two unkowns. The unkowns were supposed to be Pakistan Ryders but they didnt autoflower and are now doing so on 12/12... So my best guess is there was a mixup at the breeder and I got some other beans.

Im using a 600w HPS turned down to 400w. Also have a 90w LED for side lighting. Its mighty hot here so 400w is all I could manage without having BBQ nugz.

Cut off a couple of the tiny crappy buds practically at the soil level on the WD. Quick dried with oven/microwave. Pretty good smoke so im looking forward to harvest time.

there you go, looking good.The last 2 weeks are the most exciting.

Trichs starting to go milky.... I want to just snap one off and stuff it in my bowl!

Really want to hurry these up so I can flip the lights in the tent. The regulars are getting taller... dont want to run out of vertical space especially considering I might put them in taller 5 gal buckets.

All in all everything looks great! The WD is getting nice and yellow from the flushing. The Taigas are incredibly frosty, much more so than the WD. Plus im thinking maybe a few grams from the mutant. Not much but I was just going to toss it out to make room.

Ok so I snipped another small one from the bottom of the Taiga this time. Going to be awesome. This particular taiga has a grape smell and evident grape taste so far. Got me very well medicated from a small amount.

They are starting to fill in nicely. Flushing is going well.

I will post some pics on weds when they are 6 weeks old.

Just checked the trichs on the WD... its about 75-80% white. I want to harvest with mostly white so she seems a little bit ahead of the time listed on the site. She might finish at 7weeks and not 8. I want to chop her right now!

Someone slap me.

Hey brother, check out my post on the "Plant Problems" forum please. Maybe you could help me figure out what is wrong with my plants with all the info and pics I put on there. Thanks.

dont be afraid to place plant in darkness 24-48 hours before chopping . Since i started i noticed difference. Dont be to hasty.... Enjoy

hey get this everything is looking good but i got a question iv seen them new dimmable ballasts online but when i looked at the picture it said 100% 75% 50% and super lumen so what seting is for the 400 watt? i want to get one of these myself so what kind of bulb you got in there and is it a good ballast? strong,as energy saveing as they say and how cool does it run? thanks man keep up the good work:thumbsup:

Whats up everyone?

My ballast is great so far. Its the only ballast I have experience with because I started with CFLs and LEDs. I can tell you that it makes zero noise whatsoever. It runs warm to the touch after its been on in a warm room for a few hours. I also saw the % value ballasts... mine came with the watts on it. Mine goes from 360w/400w/600w/super lumens. Its very solid construction and feels very nice. The bulb is a regular 600w hps plantmax or something. Didnt buy an expensive one yet as this was a trial run with HID for me.

Whats up everyone... Sorry I havent posted pics in awhile. I had a bad experience at the eye doctor lol. Apparently I am extremely allergic to the drops that dialate your eyes. I had a seizure and passed out... or so I was told. My eyes were too painful to use for a bit.

Anyways heres an update. My wife was able to harvest the WD for me and did a good job for her first. The smoke is really body and just lays you out. Got 31.3g dried.



The taigas are coming down in a few days. They are just covered in trichs. Strong grape smell.

Also the "P.R." is a little over 1 week flowering and she looks great! She will have a decent amount of bud.








Here are some pics... sorry for the out of focus pics, my eyes are still a bit messed up.

These are the "P.R."s

I had to raise my light last night way up because this girl is just exploding with growth and buds. Im excited to see what she does. Her sister is more squat than her for sure and will have to sit up on something so she gets good light as well.

These are the taigas... as you can see they are frosty as hell.

The bigger multi branch one smells of grape so strong. The other one is just danky smelling.

Its been hard juggling these different strains and autos and regs and flowering with dark tents... but im reaping the rewards now.

I also have to add an hour more to trimming to get all the fuzzies and hair off the buds. Such is life with cats...

thanks getthis your plants look every good and im sry to hear about your eyes man that sucks......what website did you buy the ballast from? thanks again

I here that w.d. is good for eye injuries. so you better get to it. enjoy ,still puffin the royal queen / shortryder. while northern lights auto and blue mystic auto finish
