I needed a ballast so I was checking out this heater I had and figured what the hell, its not cold anymore.... :)

Ripped all the guts out and left the reflecting part and the "frame"
Drilled two holes for the bolts to mount the ceramic piece to the heater frame.



that's all I did. it was easy, works 100%, even has a little fan down by the ceramic part to cool, but this light does not really get hot enough to care.
its very easy to hide if needed. Just put the screen back on the front and no one would think anything odd about it.

are you gonna have 6 plants under that one light or add more?
I'm about to start my grow 1 125w cfl 6700k and 1 100w cfl 2700k and that's only for one plant, I think I'm still gonna get some more smaller cfl's too

SO I started one seed last week and is now about 1" above soil. It is the Afghan Kush, in two weeks I will start one Pakistan Ryder.

So this being a Auto Flower, Lower Ryder, Feminized, I was told to keep the light on 24 until the last week or two... Right?
I fed it grow when I planted it, and a touch of bud blood. Now just plain water. Will give it a little more grow next week, than after that the bloom will be added, and bud buster
I have this in a small closet that is not really enclosed... No door.




Anyone try these ryders out? Any input, suggestions

Thanks for that link. thats what I am going to go by.

Question - When feeding from seedling through the first two weeks how often do you feed during those weeks? Just once at the start, once a week? or just keep the water mixed with the right amount of nuts. and use that as the water for the first two weeks?
this is my biggest question at the time!!!!!!!!!!

Looks good so far! Will u be getting some 2700 lights for bloom or are you just gonna run this the whole way through!
I got a deiselryder under a LED ufo that just poked out two days ago!!! Will have a grow journal up in a bout an hour!
Good luck man! I love what you did for the reflector on that light!!!

I might try and run this light the whole way... we will see what the funds $$ bring

I NEED TO KNOW IF I WATER THIS WITH GROW THE WHOLE TIME FOR THE FIRST TWO WEEKS OR DO I FEED GROW ONE DAY THAN WATER NEXT THAN GROW ETC... OR JUST ONCE A WEEK AND WATER IN BETWEEN?

WOW! 3 days after the first week and your plant EXPLODED! Enters to veg stage really fast.
I'm growing 2 Pakistan Ryders right now, they'll by 1 week old in 3 days (counting from when they came to soil surface)

Mate, I think you should add a little nutrients now, but like 1/3 the recommended dose in the bottle. Add the nutes only every other watering.

Very heathy looking plant! Congrats!

I have been feeding it every other watering .80 of a teaspoon per L and .80ML of Carbo load per L. and lights are on 18/6
Here it is 11 days in, its growing very bushy, but not tall at all, it is 3" high and 6" - 7" across. Is the light too close?

Mate, is it 11 days from seed or 11 days from seedling appearing in soil surface?
Mine is 6 days from seedling appearing, looks like the one you posted 04-01. Mine is Pakistan Ryder, autoflowering like yours.
Great plant!! IMO the light is good this way, it's nice to have compact plants!

Great work!

You should go back and look at that grow guide you looked at before. The Joint Doctor tells his nutrient schedule and dosage that he uses on the Lowryder strains. You shouldn't be giving the plant any nutrients for the first 3 weeks. That's the same with any strain, not just these.
