200watt - cfl - pakistan ryder - afghan kush ryder

[sbj420]

just found one
http://www.accessdiscounts.com/sku-69204.html

so I will use both of these bulbs at the same time the whole time or just use the 2700K with the 6400K for bloom? or for both veg and bloom use both?

Could I use one of these aswell???
125W Sunblaster Blue Spectrum 25000K CFL Bulbs??

You can use both of them all the way through, but if you wanted to be a little more conservative you could just use the 6400K for vegging, then just add the 2700K for flowering (use both for flower). I don't think 25,000K is a color temp you should be using, that 2700k you linked would be awesome in combination with the 6400K

found some 2700K and 6400K 200 watt local here in Vancouver for $70 each. I am going to grab two of each, so I will have total 3 6400K and 2 2700K
Thanks for the heads up!

 

[sbj420]

moved the plant into a new spot, fix the light so its on chains now. So I can move it up or down very easily.
Here are some pics from today. There is water building up on the leaves that are overlapping each other... Too much water? I give it about 1L everyday and it seems to be working with no water coming out the tray on the bottom.

Sounds good man, but you want a higher ratio of red light than blue light, 3:2 2700k:6400k would be the best.

Looks nice and healthy to me I wouldn't worry about it.

How long has this plant been alive?

Very nice. Breaking the plant probably worked out for the better! Are you showing sex yet? My Diesel Ryder's are just showing sex today. One definite male . The ballots still out on the others

 

[sbj420]

thanks for the info, so thats what I will do then 3 and two...

And this is a Auto flower feminised 100% no room for error with this

Its been 2.1/2 weeks since the plant broke and turned into this... Its going good so far. Should beable to plant my Pakistan Ryder's tomorrow those are also Feminised seeds

 

[lurkmaster]

So they are about 4 weeks? They should start flowering soon, if they don't start on their own you might have to throw them into 12/12 for a day or two.

 

[sbj420]

they are on 18/6 now... I think I see little buds starting all over... I think.
Now I wounder if this plant is at 2 weeks or 4? would it have started over when the plant broke or does it stay in the same cycle?

 

[bugonawire22]

I want to say it would have started over, but I cant be sure about that. It took a little over 3 weeks to start showing sex with mine, and thats just the males. Im still waiting on the females. But since you bought feminized, 4 weeks might be a realistic time for flowering

 

[sbj420]

It has started to bloom. But its kind of redish color in the center... normal? Cant really tell much in the pics. But here are some. Its VERY bushy now. U can see in one of the pics of the three steams coming from the ground.

Also just planted a Pakistan Ryder today.

 

[sbj420]

a few more showing how bushy it is now.

 

[Droski7]

Very nice looking plants keep up the good work. I'm sure the end product will be great, and nice work with the homeade light. Props on that one.

 

[sbj420]

Why are the steams getting red stripes going up and down, you can see them in the pics. I did give it a LITTLE bud blood a little bit ago, would that have anything to do with it?

 

[Indicanna Jones]

Nice grow man.
Dont know about the red stem but kinda concerned why your not flowering yet.
Auto fems should be showing white hairs by now.
Where did you buy your beans?

 

[sbj420]

got them from http://www.drchronic.com/main.asp

I am starting to wounder why there are no hair yet either. It just keeps getting more bushier by the day. Here are some pics from just 1 min ago, still not hairs. I am going to go get a 2700K 250Watt light today to add in

Anyone know what could be wrong here?

 

[chunkymunkey33]

Every other auto that I've grown has shown sex within 14-24 days of it's life. With these, mine didn't show sex until around day 35. I have a feeling that these may take longer than they say they will. I hope for you that your Pakistans don't do the same thing since they are from the same breeder. I know your plant fell and broke so the stress will put yours behind, but mine have been under no stress at all so I think that it's gotta be the way they are. I have 3 going right now at it happened with all 3.

 

[Indicanna Jones]

Good info munkey.
How long will they take to finish?

 

[sbj420]

good stuff thanks guys

I got my other CFL today its a 2700K 250Watt
$80
its not as long as the 6400K 200Watt
and you can see the difference in light color

 

[sbj420]

got the lights some what set up... Going to make a ballast for both lights to fit in. I have the Blue 6400K over the seedling and the other plant still gets some light from it and I put the 2700K red 250Watt in the ballast I made directly over the plant like so......... But this is temp untill I get a ballast made that can take both.
