Short rider autoflower outdoor grow

Hey guys i am growing organically outside in sunny puerto rico.

feel free to comment, i saw a sticky saying don't comment unless given permission so yeah it is cool lol.

I started germination wednesday night january 29th. 2 days later on a friday, i noticed it had a long root, i ran into a dilemma. I was supposed to go get organic soil 80 miles away, did not have the time. So i stuck the seed in a cup of some walmart potting soil.

Has any one seen those self watering pots at walmart, you fill the tray underneath and it waters the plant when it needs water for up to 2 weeks, no need to worry about under or over watering. I just don't know which one should i get, 6incher looks good. I don't know how many gallons fits in there.

The very next day, it sprouted. So here is day 2 of it in the soil. Peeking out. day 4 it is growing fast.

sounds great crayc -

assuming you are growing in a container outdoors and not directly in the ground ? ? ?
I would recommend going with either a 3.5 gallon container or a 5 gallon container..

good luck

OK i am on week 2, not much of a change. I transplanted this past saturday, maybe did something wrong or stressed it. Also found spider mites in my yard which i am controlling right now. Are the leaves supposed to fold like thatView attachment 1442874View attachment 1442875View attachment 1442876

they look pretty good to me -

they are working on shooting their tap roots down to the bottom of the container......My guess is that you will see some significant growth here in the next week.

try not to over-water or under-water your babies, but if you have to do one, under watering is easier to remedy than over-watering. Sometimes having such a tiny plant in a large container can make it difficult to judge when to water.


good luck amigo and keep em green

week 3 i have put them inside since the last week under 2 26 watt daylight cfl's, took me a whole week to water them. might have under watered them. tomorrow i will give her some more water. Maybe i should add another cfl to it. I thought plants branched up, the leaves all look clustered, but what do i know.View attachment 1453779View attachment 1453780View attachment 1453781View attachment 1453782View attachment 1453783

by the way i added a drop of bioheaven to it. i will have to put some more of that and maybe add biogrow

i have them 1-2 inches away, bioheaven from what ir ead is supposed to be started when they are seedlings, for root strengh or something about energy lol. i use about a drop of the thing, so not strong. I am going at week 4 this thing should be bigger, getting frustrated from seeing every one else's short rider at my stage being nice and big while mine is a midget

week 4 and it is tiny and i my first grow looks like shit lol.... i think i should stick it outside.

so this is week 5, grew pretty quick outside in a week. been feeding her bio-grow. she looks to be enjoying it. She is sitting on the concrete roof, she is getting a nice breeze. I put cardboard on the side of it since there is a 2 story house that could see it, so the cardboard will block the view. no one else would be able to see it. Reason why its not in my backyard is because there is a spidermite infestation i am getting rid of. she is safe in the roof.

how does she look? How far you think she has to flower.

are you in puerto rico as well

yes, I'm Puertorican and you? from the states and move down to the island?

from nyc and moved down here. around the manati area. can't find good weed here

You need to come down to SJ for the goodie dope

So right here we are in week 7, she is looking very nice, except for those black things i have no clue what it is, i put her in the garbage can, so she can be stealth on the roof. Not too stealthy having a garbage can on an open roof lol. but whatever . Only 2 houses can see the garbage can. she gets lot of sulight in it as i titled her to the sun.
