250W Envirolite diesel ryder grow

[matthewdmac]

This is my diesel ryder grow, i have growing 5 regular diesel ryders from the joint doctor, however i did germ five originally and two of them did not sprout though soil and so germed another 2.

Medium - biobizz allmix
Light - 250w blue enviro
Temps - 24-28 deg C


My grow is 9 days into:

Plant A - Day 9
Plant B - Day 9
Plant C - Day 7
Plant D - Day 4
Plant E - Day 4

I want to use organic nutrients, any ideas out there to which are good ones to use, and also want to use molasses, how do i go about adding this to water and whens the most appropriate time to start using it, first week of flower? or couple weeks before harvest?

Peace.

Ill be watching this, Im doing a grow almost the same! Ive got Auto white russians started but ive just ordered some Dieselryder seeds so Ill be having a few alongside the WR's under CFLS like yours. Have you grown any Autos or anything before?

I like that youre organised with it, I used letters on my last grow! They look great already

bio bizz nutes best about

Hey.

Nice set-up you got going. im growing a ryder strain aswell. well a few diffrent strains so i'l keep looking in on your grow.

As stated above i believe biobizz are good organic nutrients.

Thanks for the comments, appreciate it, i aint tried autos before the reason for choosing them was the fact that this one is a cross with NYCD, had some of that shit in the dam and loved it and am not gonna pay £90 for a pack of ten from soma with no pro setup!

i did try a church plant, LSt'ed the bitch as well but i over fed it one time and seriously damaged it lke all green was burnt so i gave it to my pal to see if it would live while i sorted this grow out but no joy

yeah i was looking at the bio bizz range, was gonna get the bloom, top max, and heaven, apparently they used to put that heaven stuff already in with their bloom nutes but extraced it and sold it as a seperate product to make more money.

Molasses - anyone used it???

growin lowryder too, santa maria. the biggest plant you have looks huge for 10 days old, mine are also exactly 10 days old and not nearly as big. what light are you running? im running a 400w hps at 18" from the plants. temp 25 celcius.

ive got biogrow by biobizz at he ready as my newts, only cost 10 quid for a big bottle from a hydroponics shop.

i'll keep a look in on your journal bro.

 

[matthewdmac]

its the 11th day and its getting its third set of leaves, temps are 25 deg C give or take a few at times, and running on one 250W blue envirolite about 4-5 inches away, HPS bulbs tend to be better for flowering due to the more red being in their light however they should be sufficient for vegging lowryders since they have practically no veg stage at all.
I am probs gonna go with biobizz nutes like however i dont think my local dro shop sells them so will have to order of greenshorticulture.co.uk

UPDATE

Added an 11W warm white cfl to the lighting schedule, simply wired up a plug to socket and attached to side of box, i did this as there seemed to be a blind spot over one of the plants.

Plants seem to be coming along nicely, just feeding with plain tap water, gonna start nute cycle at 3 weeks.

Plant A - 14 days
Plant B - 14 days
Pant C - 11 days
Plant D - 8 days
Plant E - 8 days

1st pic is of plants overall and then pics of plant following alphabetical order.

Looks like everything is going well, any plans to transplant to larger pots?

 

[matthewdmac]

nah these are the final pot sizes, they are 1.3 gal pots, should be sufficien for a ryder!

 

[mane2008]

looking great but get that light closer like 2in. away from the tops of the plants.

 

[matthewdmac]

will do mane! anybody have any clue when a good time to start using molasses?

 

[mane2008]

in flower, you can start in the beginning or the middle

 

[matthewdmac]

cheers mane (how do i dish out rep) do you put it into hto water and mix it in? or just add it straight to water normally?

 

[Fyfe]

Because its so thick people put it in warm water so that it dilutes easier then just water as normal with the liquid.

your plants are looking good.

 

[matthewdmac]

cheers fyfe, much needed info! just had a quick look at plants and seem k, oldest plants are at day 17 now and still no sign of sex, but i guess thats a good thing right, will be updating with pics later

 

[Fyfe]

just make sure you dont use boilin water

bring on the trumpets. i mean updates

 

[NoobRyder]

any updates man?

 

[matthewdmac]

sorry for the lack of a promised update, got baked and started to play on the 360 so was easily sidetracked, however some good news the plants that are at day 19 now both showed their sex, the first plant B showed at 17 days which is a male, and plant A showed on 18 days which is female. i am wanting to make some seeds so does anyone know at around what point does the pollen sacks open, i read about 25-28 days for lowryders.

 

[matthewdmac]

Now for the update

Plant A - 19 days
Plant B - 19 days
Plant C - 16 days
Plant D - 13 days
Plant E - 13 days

So all has been going well, the temps are still at a constant 25 with a few degress give or take, maximum has been 28, around 82F. have started feeding some nutes, just something called baby bio, has an NPK rating of 10.4-4.4-1.7.

I have gave plant A a little nute burn now all seems k after feeding with straight water.

now for the pics, i gotta also mention that they smell rather delicious eventhough they aint fully into flowering yet, cannot wait till that final day

first 2 pics are of the flowers and rest are of the plants in alphabetical order.


Let me know what yas think, and thanks again for anyone who has stopped by and pulled up a seat, well its now ten past seven so any one fancy a brew a got the kettle boiling, nothing better than a cuppa and a bitta wake n bake! Love it >>>>>>>>puff puff pass>>>>>>>>>>>>
