Hey guys
It is finally that time for my 2 oldest Diesel Ryders!! At only 55 days old they are ready to harvest. Trichs on the shorter one were almost all cloudy with about 25% of the trichs on the leaves starting to turn amber. The taller plant, Ellie May, was about 50/50 Clear & Cloudy trichs with just a few starting to turn amber. The leaves were starting to curl and die, and all conditions were right so they got the chop!
For full details see my Mini Fridge thread. Here's the basics:
Lights Used: 42w & 26w CFLs for the first couple weeks, 150w HPS for the rest.
Showed Sex At: Day 14
Medium: Sunshine Mix + Perlite & Bone Meal
Ferts: Schultz 10-15-10 & Molasses
Seed To Harvest: 55 Days
Wet Weight of Ellie May: 44.2 grams
Wet Weight of Daria: 48.0 grams
Estimated Total Dry Weight (With roughly 70% weight loss): 28 grams (1 Ounce)
If I can get 6-10 of these ladies out of my next attempt (which will be 20 or more seeds to start) then I think the roughly 3-5 ounces I would get off of it would easily last my wife and I another 2.5 months or less till next harvest! ThenI can use my fridge in the garage for other straing & experimenting!!
Anyways, here are some pics I took, Ill let you guys know more on dry weight & a smoke report once it is time.
Right Before Cutting. Ellie May = 9.75" Daria = 7.75"
After trimming & hangin in the closet

I sure cant wait to start more! I would highly suggest this strain to anyone, it is such a pungent & distinct smell & taste! It is tough keeping the odor under control, but with a few more adjustments to my setup it should be ok.
Let me know what you guys think of my little midgets!
