Italiano715 Reviewed by Italiano715 on 10-17-2009. Easy Ryder T5/HPS Grow Hey, I'm back. This time I have a different plant to grow and I'm very determined this time. I decided to upload my grow log because when I first got my seeds I didn't really see many logs on easy ryder. So here goes.. Joint Doctor's Easy Ryder (Lowryder#2 x AK-47) Feminized (2)23W T5 for seedlings and veg 150HPS for flowering (so much better than those LED panels and my last grow with T5s!!) Soilless in Coco Pure Blend Pro Gro, Bloom and Liquid Karma 20/4 light cycle Rating: 5

That needs transplanted then the sex will progress quicker when the bottom wilts it usually means the roots are at the bottom and running out of space.

my coco seems to be expanding in volume... i wonder if it has anything to do with root mass pushing it up or perhaps it dries out thoroughly in between waterings because even when i water it seems as if the coco grabs all of the water.. so weird, i hope that's not a bad thing

you can see a def/burn/ph lockout problem on the tips and edges of the older leaves travelling towards the stem. i'm trying to fix that with a cal-max and setting the ph higher to around 6. so far so good... :S

[headshake]

you want to shoot for a pH of 6.3-6.8 for soil, with 6.3 being ideal.

everything is looking good though. any pics of the problem?

I'm growing in Coco :P i tried taking pics but it wouldn't show up, I think I caught it just before it got to the worse end. The progression of the lighter spots stopped after I added calmax and brought the ph higher up to around 6. this is currently what my nodes look like:

but i have to be careful, the runoff was a little low again so i think i have to redo the ph of my solution
