diesel ryder winter grow

[lunarose]

Hi All So I have decided to start a new grow that will incorporate both inside and outside grow elements. I will be growing on our balcony but will be able to move it easily inside if it starts to get too cold something I don't think will be an issue for me. The strain I am going with is Diesel Ryder from Joint Doctor so they should finish between Xmas and New Years. I bought this small tiered greenhouse I plan on using only one two of the shelves but may use more depending on the spacing. I have two mylas emergency blankets that I will hang on three sides of the GH. I have ten 23 watt 6500k 1600 lumen CFLs plus some natural daylight. I am thinking that between the mylar and CFLs that they should be warm enough here in Cali typically our nights average in the mid to high thirties I may consider getting a heating pad but the space is going to be so small that I can't see it being necessary. So while I wait for my beans to arrive does anyone have any suggestions? Ideas? Thoughts? I am either going to use an 18/6 or 20/4 light cycle. I've only really grown in the summer in a gh and haven't tried an autoflower so if there are any quirks I need to worry about let me know. Thanks

Okay the beans are germinating now. I have changed my mind on which autoflower strain I am going to grow in this mini greenhouse. I am going to grow auto AK-47 outside and will be growing the diesel ryder inside. The pots are 10".

Looks like you have a good setup going, am im probably wrong, but i think this isnt your first grow! I look forward to watching your lowriders... how long from veg to buds?

[lunarose]

Thanks. I've grown outside before but this is my first set up type grow. They are suppose to finish in 70 days and about 24 inches talls.

Are lowryders like a genetically engineered seed? or do you just cut them after the 2nd-3rd tier? im curious

Very nice set up, ill be looking foward to see how yours compare to mine(probably alot faster growing since my temps are so high) but looking good so far. Good luck:thumbsup:

Should, I think I may have screwed things up I am so pissed with myself. I had place the seeds in little jiffy pots last night and because it was a cold night I left in the the little pots and placed them in the oven (not on) with the oven's internal light on figuring the light would help stimulate the growth. Well I had no idea that that single light would be so warm as to dry them out. Anyway they are now out in the GH so hopefully something will grow....shit shit shit!

Damn, sorry to hear about that. let us know if everything works out

Hi Should, The rumors of their demise was greatly exaggerated(G) All seven have popped their heads. I am sure glad I didn't just dump them and restart. Here is a picture of a couple of them.
