The continuing saga of the Diesel Ryder...and the birth of the Roadrunner...CFL Grow

not yet...i started a batch of mid seeds.i wanted to make sure i had my shit together before starting the papaya.im growing these for 2-3 weeks to make sure that the reason these 2 ladies now are so dwarf isnt from what im doing and its just the strains.so if i get normal growth out of these mids seeds then after 2-3 weeks ill chop them and start the papaya.then when it gets rolling im going to take a few clones from it and start a scrog grow with the clones...might make another cab and keep it as a mother
congrats on the KK popping...would love to try that stuff

Yea I don't blame you! That papaya sounds dank. Lets hope these test seeds grow nice and healthy from the start!

so far so good...all 3 of the new seeds have sprouted.....got one still in the dark its going under light soon...the others are in with the ladies.off to a killer start so far....nice and green

and i think i was a lil to high to take pics tonight...they all came out fuzzy and blurry...like i was looking through lindsay lohans eyes...but i did get a good one of each plant.

man thats crazy how short the roadrunner is staying. thought it was supposed to be a taller plant for an auto. lookin good man

peace

so far thats all ive gotten from these auto strains.under the same lights i grew a 3 footer on my last grow,really under less lights.i added 2 26 watters and 1 42 watter since then.and with less light that bitch grew like a champ.and it was in the same soil as these....so other than the temps it seems everything is the same..but the 3 footer was a random seed...ended up being a sativa plant.so i know my lights are good,soil good,ph good,nutes good.i had a heat issue with both these plants at start...other than that its the same growing conditions as my 3 footer.so it must be either the strain..or the heat at the start that kept these so short and dense.....but thats why is started the 3 mid seeds...if i grow them for a couple weeks and they grow like all my other plants have...then i know its the auto strains fucking me...in which case ill never grow them again...hell all my remaining seeds are normal strains...all but the one haze auto i have which i might just toss out

yea i got the haze auto and the roadrunner free like you i think. i grow in a pc case so i gotta watch height and lst like crazy lol. i just harvested a bagseed in it that was like 2 ft tall if you wanna check it its in my signature. dwc. how smelly is the dr getting to be?

peace

i did find this..i dont think the roadrunners get that big...this is right from the seed company dinafem...it seems to stay pretty small..least by their standards...but at the same time ive seen a (short rider) be tall as hell...guess it dont really matter in some cases what the strain is supposed to do...

that is exactly what my plant is doing now...one main stem and 2 side branches...so other than it being short im right on track...i know how these autos tend to explode around 40 days...id be happy getting that plant there from this

yea there seems to be a good bit of stretch fromthe ground to bout the 4th node lol. not much side branching either. is the smell of this plant strong?

right now it has a stronger smell then the diesel...which is almost done

good to know. i will be using an ona block and some carbon sheets over my exhaust

i dont have any odor control just yet...ive got some of ona type things that are the same shit that i got for half the price at walmart...they keep them where like clothes hangers and laundry stuff is...has the same chemicals in it as ona...think it was like $3..but the only time i smell the plants are if im gone for awhile and the box is closed..when i come back ill smell it..but during the day my box is open with a fan on it...seems to displace the smell pretty well...and im smoking joint after joint in the room with it anyways

haha yea man after you start smoking you can't smell it. i have snowryder germing right now

I just picked up some ONA, shit was expensive but seems to work well.

might have had a set back on the roadrunner today.i had a batch of big bid and molasses made up.it was maybe 4-5 days old.i did a full watering of the roadrunner before i noticed something.the mix kinda smelled like fish cunts and dog vomit....i didnt notice it till after i put the plant back in the box.the smell was over powering...so i did a flush of it.not sure how its going to take getting a full watering then a 2 gallon flush.the smell is gone..but i hope i didnt flood her.i know flushing a couple times is good during its life cycle.but ive always flushed a almost dry plant..never one that was just fed then flushed.been in too much pain to fuck with taking pics lately...other then the watering today of the roadrunner..havent messed with them the last 2 days.....ill try to get off my ass tonight and do some pics.at a glance it looks like the new seedlings are doing great...but who knows

got off my ass and took a few quick pics...i can tell the roadrunner didnt like the nutes or the flushing...its drooped a lil bit and has its first yellow leaves...but it should make it through ok...its still budding like a champ.the diesels top cola is getting close to finish..while the side branches are budding like hell to.still plan on harvesting the top and letting the sides keep growing...wont need the space just yet anyways since im doing the cup test grows...and all 3 of them are doing good.two are perked up just nice and the 3rd is catching up...if these start doing ok...then papaya here we come

Lmao!! I couldn't have described it better, I found out that it spoils the hard way to lol.. I'm pretty sure its the molasses.

yeah it most likely was the molasses...the big bud tends to get a lil ripe also.didnt think it would be a problem...mix was only 4 days old...was open in a cool dark cabinet.but i dumped that shit out.think ill finish out the roadrunner with the big bud and molasses combo...im going to head to the hydro shop sometime soon...i want to make the next grow all organic.bat guano,blood/bone meal,worm castings...just need to figure out what ill use for bloom nutes

got a couple pics in before my cam battery died...all seem to be doing well.new batch is growing good,roadrunner seems to have recouped,and the diesel is getting close to harvest...well the top half is.

Looks good. Such a small little plant. How much you think its gonna yield?

the top bud is pretty dense...its a lil smaller than a tennis ball right now...if i had to guess id say 8-12 grams..but i really dont know...never grew and auto before...im used to having bushes...enough to where i never weighed it after harvest.and im hoping those bottom bud sites give me a lil bit too....its like two plants in one right now.when i tied the side branches down..there wasnt even hairs on it yet...now its blowing up with hairs...but to be honest i dunno...never had a plant this small...im hoping its potent as hell to make up for that...she is a frosty bitch for sure...ill try to get a trich pics up tonight...if my scope and cam work for shit
