Update - day 58.... please let me know what you think...

Here's an update on how my Short Riders are coming along.. think I'm going to be flushing sometime this week, and maybe harvesting in the next 14-20 days... let me know what you think

Congrats man. The 1st picture in the last update has me tripped out! Did you have your light hung vertically on the right side wall? Why did it grow sideways like that? It's pretty rad looking to be honest with you. I'm going to venture out there and say it's one of my favorite pictures of...

Glad to see you went with the HID lighting. I think you will be happy with the decision. What are the dimensions of that grow cabinet? The reason I ask is because there are reccommended minimum & maximum wattages on HID lighting, just the same as with CFL bulbs. I have read (and someone...

Thanks for the responses. @KRATOS015 - I'm still giving the runt plenty of love. She is plenty healthy but just doesn't get the amount of light that my bigger girl does. I don't think I will even get an OZ off her. I have read a lot about taking the plant on the early side of done gives...

@AP2K - I'm sure they won't disappoint! I would go ahead and make sure you're ready to accomodate them doubling in size. It's going to happen very rapidly. I bet you in the next 14-20 days they will be about 2x-3x as big as they are now. If you think you'll need additional lighting for the...

That's right around when mine started! Such an exciting time in their lives, isn't it? Congrats!

I have a plant appropriately named "the runt" that I'll probably use solely for making some butter or canna-oil. Should I treat this plant just the same as I would if I planned to smoke it? Are there any benefits to letting it go longer, or take it early, if I'm going to cook with it? I made...

Mine started showing some pistils at 23 days if I'm not mistaken. You could find it in my journal somewhere towards the beginning. Mine stayed at 18/6 until recently. I had to do something to slow the stretch down so she wouldn't end up 7 feet tall, so I cut the lights back to 14/10. I know...

Thanks for the help. Yeah I just laughed at myself after re-reading where I said that picture was from. Anyways, I know the plant isn't ready, I just want to know exactly what I'm looking for when the time comes. Judging by the comments on here, I'm assuming I will have to take many things into...

Lol, glad to hear that. While it's a little embarrassing to admit, this is my first real grow. I tried running a CFL grow in the same closet, and the smoke was terrible. I didn't even have any drainage holes in the pot I used. Didn't flush. Used only molasses and some cheap ass fertilizer that I...

And here is a picture of one of the calyxes from the upper bottom/low middle of the plant.

So what about this? Are some of these looking amber? Some of these look pretty cloudy to me (my novice opinion) and the little ones on the left look to be golden/ amber? I know you said not to worry about what's on the leaves though.

So I got done reading a thread about checking trichomes, and had to go out & get a microscope that would take pictures. I would like some input from experienced growers as to the percentage of cloudy/clear/amber. I know there's no amber on mine yet, but what about clear/cloudy? Also, what are...

That's definitely some tight internode space. Mine started out real tight and then got further & further apart. Looking good buddy. Keep 'em green!

No problem man. I would honestly suggest just visiting a good Hydroponic shop & asking them to get you setup. They *should* know what they're talking about, and lead you in the right direction. Then get back on this site and read all of the "sticky" posts you have time for. They are the ones...

@nuskool89 - yeah, I know what you mean. I was "in a mood" last night, sorry if I came off harsh or whatever. I agree the plant should have stayed short, but I just don't know who's to blame. They did reccommend not giving it any veg nutes at all. I didn't see that until someone sent me a...

There are several reasons mine got as large as it did. 1. 3 Gallon pot. I've seen many small S.R.'s in 1-2 gallon pots 2. Nothing done to stunt growth - never topped, supercropped, Fim, LST, or anything similar. Just planted and watered and fed. 3. Proper attention to the Root Zone...

@SixMoreDucks... She wasn't real potent in the early flowering stage. Now that she's at least 1/2 way thru - I'm realizing I should have gone with a carbon filter. My buddy stopped by the other day, he had no idea I was growing. When I greeted him at the door, he said - "man step outside with...

@nuskool89 - it IS pretty big for a strain called Short Rider. I wan't expecting her to get 4'2" tall, LOL. Bigger isn't always better though. I'm happy with how she turned out, but it wasn't the best utilization of my available space. If I were to ever grow this strain again in the same...
