=-TzaKs CFL Rubbermaid Stealth Grow Easy Ryder-=

[tzak1221]

I am new to growing but I been doin my research on this website. So I started my own. Im gonna be growing Low Ryders' Easy Ryder strain. I picked it up off theattitudeseedbank.com. I germinated 2 of them using the paper towel method. Them I stuck them into Fox Farm Ocean Forest Organic Soil. Its been about 2 days and they have poked out of the ground. It says seed to harvest in about 7-8 weeks. Cant wait to my own shit.

Supplies:
Mylar
CFL llights 4x 27w for veg with 2 47w and 13 w flower
Total wattage: 165W using both spectrums
Fox Farm Ocean Forest Soil
GOing to be using nutes soon.
2 2in computer fans.


Average temp: 85 and with lights off about 75.

Its been 2 days and this is how they are looking!!

These are my 2 girls about 3 days after germination.

Their stems have turned purple is this okay?
One look like its first leaves are like burnt? or maybe dried up?

Please if anybody knows whats causing this let me know.

Also other plant has almost its first set of leaves but they seem to be stuck together or something? By some yellow thing maybe it will grow out of it.

you might have to get some tweesers and remove that membrane on that second one so it can open

yourlocal420 thanks bro i tried but it doesent wanna come off easy and i dont wanna hurt the plant so imma just wait another day or so

Dude this looks pretty good so far. You might want to consider a CO2 reactor, you can make one really easy and I read they help quite a bit. It might boost your yield a little bit.

Thats the best tutorial ive found on making one.

Are you concerned about smell at all? I noticed you dont have an a filter/exaust system but with an open lid I guess you really dont need one.

Im about to grow my first plant (also lowrider strain) and am using a rubbermaid tub you should check it out and let me know if im missing anything or if you have any suggestions.

thanks griffin, i will probably end up using the co2. And i have a lid to the rubbermaid lined with mylar it doesn;t stay open all the time.

yea give it a couple more days, i tried it 2 early once and took tha whole head of tha sprout off

Is that just one fixture that the 3 lights are screwed into? I'm trying to figure out what to buy for my CFL's.

 

[tzak1221]

wheezgethigh, yea im glad i waited that extra day the membrane came off its self.

hoot, no i bought all of them separatly. It u go to home depot and go into the electric section its a bunch of socket to outlet things. like 2 bucks a peice

BUT MY OTHER GIRL IS DEAD!! It hasnt grown in the past 3 days and the leaves look really yellow and burnt. wtf. Should i take it out or leave it in??? Someone let me know if there is something I can do to save her.

 

[tzak1221]

So its been a while since i've updated... but i REDID my system so that all 5 CFL's are directed to the plants.

Unfortunately my first plant died so I took her out and germinated a new one the same day and planted it 48 hrs later and now shes been under light for 7 days.

Plant #1 is Alex shes about 7 days old and shes doing really well. Has 2 sets of leaves and she a little bit taller than the other one because I think when I germinated it I stuck it in about a half and

Plant #2 is Kim. She about 10 or 11 days old i cant remember but she already has 4 sets of leaves. She is shorter than Alex but she alot more full.

Every time I check on them they get bigger and bigger. BOTH are very health and no sign of heat stress or over watering so I know Im doing a good job.

*** I want to start using nutes soon... and does anyone know when I should start ???? Because I'm using a line from General Hydroponics and I hear its really good.

bump...

anyone know when i should start my nutes?

 

[kaiserAxel]

Around two or three weeks is when most start their nutes

You can start now but id do 1/2 the allotted dosage

 

[crazyeric]

how deep is the tub? are you going to LST to deal with the height...I need something low key, was going to use a filing cabinet or something else discreet cant have them just hanging out in the closet. Ill be following this to see how it goes best of luck!

 

[tzak1221]

So its been about a month since i've posted anything... and I just been busy with school and shit . But they are looking reallll dankkk,

Pictures 1 and 2
Alex is the short one. I know shes supposed to be a lowryder but damn shes barely 6 inchs tall. But she has crazy bud forming im hoping that it will just be a fat nug at the end.

Pictures 3 and 4
This is Kim she is about 4 days younger than Alex but she is growing really tall!! She a little but over 14 in and she has nice buds forming as well. I think both plants are about 2 weeks into floweering.

Does anyone know why one plant is small and one is tall???

How far along do you guyz think I am?

 

[kaiserAxel]

Lookin great man, keep us updated

 

[tc1]

You have two different pheno's most likely ... which is why one is growing differently.

"Kim" looks much more sativa dominant. IMHO

 

[Griffin285]

low riders are the shit. I wish I would have just gone with those. Ive been growing a couple pretty good strains for about a month and a half now but I still got a long way to lol. Your lucky cause you get bud in 8 to 9 weeks. I gotta wait 4 months.
