Afghani Ryder - CFL Stealth Grow - Jolly Smoking

This is my first grow so any nooby mistakes should be forgiven! this is my grow box,bear in mind this is only for the small seedlings, i wont be making clones because there is no vegetative stage for these Autoflowering ladies. So i thought id have two boxes one for new seedlings one for plants part way throught flowering as flowering practicaly comes in after 2/3 weeks!

the box might be a little jerry built but im sure it will work for small plants, it has two 24watt CFL's with homemade can reflectors and a chain mechanism so i can keep the lights just above the little ladies.

The seed should be here any day now but i thought id post pics of the box so people can leave comments, i will post pictures of the larger box when it is finished.

Peace out Jolly Brother.

yeahh it sure is a bit cheap looking but it will do the job for ventilation i have 12V computer fan with a variable resistor that it enough for the job in such a small box, its quite loud and annoying so i probably put the fan on full fr a few hours a day then turn it down to low and just have it on constantly.
Cheers for the input.

Got the seed today, so check it out SoulSeeds.co.uk, good site if your after a few different autoflowering strains, theres also White ryder which is a cross between Snow white and lowryder, which also look paticularly good, so i might try those next time, ill be germ ing the seed with the usual paper towel and plate. will post pics when they have started sprouting.

any comments welcome btw!

Two of the seeds sprouted today, the others seem to be taking their time, but ah well, the way of the world, i planted them both (in much larger containers- due to much advice) gave a little bit of water and i will post pics when/if they sprout.
Jolly!

neat box,cant see why it wont work.you may have to get bigger lights later on,but then again you might not.

not to bad but you wont be able to flower in theyre

yeahh i know well ive got something sorted but im not growing big plants at all, im wanting to grow 3/4 really small ones but these are designed to be a lot smaller anyway,
cheers guys

an update on the plants now, two of the seeds never opened im not sure why so left them for a few days longer and nothing happened when i cracked them open this white puss looking stuff came out? and one of the seedlings died in the pot, never sprouted anyway, so i guess i will be germing the other four seeds i have pretty soon when i transfer my three plants to larger pots in another box,

these have been growing for about a week-ish they are about an 1inch/2inches high and two have started new sets of leaves further up the stem, the stems arent getting weathered like they would be outside and the stems look a little week so im gonna try putting them somewhere windy in the day when its reasonably sunny to stregnthen the stems because the fan ihave is not directly on the plants, any suggestions?

will post pics later today.

got any pics yet? i am also growing that strain along with lowryder#2, lowsnow, and 3 way all from soulseeds

i'm about to order some afgani ryder and low ryder classic too.. my first grow.. would like to see those pics if you got them...

yes thanks guys will post them tomorrow my camera has been bugeering up there are on about two weeks now and looking good. soulseeds r gr8 arent they? i wanted to try lowsnow too.

Okay here are some pictures of the Plants at the date of my last post, will post some more recent pics in a day or two,
Hope you like them,
They are actually looking a little droopy there but they mostly seem to look stronger now too.





There thee go's

if anyone is listening though i have been poor on posting i will put some pics up tomorrow hopefully they r on like week 3 and a half-ish now i duno they are about 8 inches tall and TWO are Male ah well will just grow the one small one then
i need to get a bigger box sorted out but id rather have a lot more money to spend to make a much bigger/better one.
Peace Jolly

lookin decent jolly. unlucky with the boys, out of 5 lr2s ive got going now, 3 are confirmed male, 1 confimed female, and an uncomfirmed who looks suspiciously male.. bad times for one and all. at least you got a female. gonna get more seeds on the go?

lol yeahh ive still got 4 more seeds, also last night i accidentally dropped the lights on my one female and snapped its stem clean off so its only 2inches high now....man life can be unfair, ah well am just gonna leave them at it dont have a female so i may as well, im just gonna germ my other seeds and journal them here.
