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

and now beep beep...day 10

Showing some good growth, now is when beep beep is going to take off!!

Yo smelly, I got some bud porn up, come check it out when you get a chance.

ive got some jacks classic pro 20/20/20..im wondering if i should start feeding it to beep beep!!! at week 3.still trying to figure out the best feeding cycle for these autos...cant wait to start the bubblelicious...least ill know what im working with then.its hard to feed these suckers grow ferts when they flower so fast..should i stop the grow ferts when it start flowering then switch to the bloom ferts? im thinking of grow ferts till a week into flowering,then taking a week off before starting bloom ferts...sound about right?

Yep, thats pretty much what I'm doing.

iam subbed i growing the same freebe with some haze i was wondering on there feeding if these auto are picky i have no nutes in yet at 13 days urs look very nice and that d/r looks alot better

d/r are really sensitive to nutrients i messed mine up that way
my grow is in my sig if you wanna check it out

this is the first roadrunner im growing...got the haze too...i did the wwms.com deal..guess you did the same.i just gave the first feeding to my deisel..with the soil and worm castings i didnt need to add any ferts during veg..i normally go all organic with grow ferts then finish up with some big bud.havent given any ferts to the roadrunner yet...too young.and the diesel seems to love the ferts for me.no burn...after the first feeding the buds starting getting a little tighter and had a bit of a growth spurt.ive followed a few different threads for diesel ryders...seems its more unstable than i thought..they grow and bud just fine..the size seems to be what they dont really know..ive seen 3 foot diesel plants..and a fully mature with a giant single cola 6 inch plant.it seems at time to lean toward the new york diesel traits and sometimes to the lowryder traits.my diesel is healthy as can be now...just very short and very dense.where others have a tall plant..but stretchy.im hoping that these dinafems are more stable...at the price they have for them i would think so...things cost more for a reason...........but for now....off to take more pics

this is what i mean about the unstable part...here is 2 diesel ryders...same age...different results..

beep beep seems to like the worm casting too...this is her day 11

figured out how to hook up my 45x zoom microscope to my camera...will try to take some pics later.having computer issues...might have to reformat this thing tonight...if so ill be gone for a few days...takes forever to reinstall everything on here.lights just came on ill wait a couple hours and give it a shot..took me 3 hours just to get this fucking thing online...fucking proxy servers

ok...some close-up pics of the leaves and hairs/bud...first attempt at these...hope the get better next time..not bad at all though

ok folks...let me know what you think about this idea...thought about building this to take care of all the heat in the box...thought id throw the idea into photoshop..it should work...but worried about it being a fire hazard

new pics tonight of beep beep...she is getting stout..another short dense plant maybe...weeeeeee...ps...im really really high and passing out now...donkeysmells

been wandering around the last few days....been slacking on here...some new pics at least tonight

finally got a properly working ph tester...turns out my water out the tap was at 7.5..was getting ready to order some ph down..but had a thought...i stopped with the molasses for a couple good reasons..the things they dont tell you about as it comes to molasses..and im sticking with just the big bud.before i ordered the ph down i added the big bud full strength to the water...waited a few hours..and now its ph is 6.5...if you use the color coded test kits you cant test your water with the molasses in it...it screws with the color too much to get a precise reading.so now the water going in I KNOW is right at 6.5.ive always tested my water...then added the nutes...when i tested it with molasses in the water..the closest it came to a reading was around 3.4...im pretty sure thats becuase the molasses makes the water a light brown...so it screws with the test.theres no way with these types of test to get a good reading...so if i do start molasses again it will be in its own watering jug...so i can try and test it by itself so i know im not fucking up the ph levels.but now i know to add all my ferts to my water before testing it...then adjust its ph as needed...sorry for the long rant...i do that from time to time

redid the lights again tonight...took the roadrunner up a few inches so both are at the same height.now both string of lights is in front of the fan.not gonna do daily pics,it dont seem to help in any way..i know what they look like anyways

Damn bro looking good, I like the light Idea you ever try it?

Cool close up pictures too, I bet that will come in handy pretty soon!

ive thought about it...just been to lazy to put it all together...and i need to find a way to mount the lights to where they will reach both plants affectively.but i think i need to...temps running in the low 90's again.i know they would be much happier at around 78 degrees.got about a month left on the deisel..i might wait till its done then i can start getting the box ready for the scrog grow im doing around harvest time of the roadrunner.im going to check the temps in a couple hours to see if moving them around helped.

here is todays pics of the diesel ryder...looks like i will get 2 small harvest out of it...the main cola is gonna finish way before the rest of the plant.ill harvest that and let the rest keep going.but it still has another 3 weeks or so..so who knows.and its day 16 for beep beep (roadrunner).not too thrilled with these auto strains right now...def going to a non-auto strain with my next batch
