Here are two auto's, what do you think? Their both on day 45 from seed, I'm hoping the buds really fatten up some. Both plants were topped at different times.

The Joint Doctors Easyryder
(Ak47 x Lowryder #2)

I think they look pretty good man. Although I don't think I would have topped them. They'll fatten up you still got a long way to go yet. I just grew this strain this past summer and they went like 9-10 weeks. I dunno why Attitude has them listed as 7 weeks from seed. The packet from the Joint Dr they come in clearly states 9+ weeks from seed. I even emailed Attitude about it. They replied back and said thanks we'll take care of it, but they still never changed it. The smoke is awesome though. Worth the wait. I only grew 3 but I noticed 2 phenos. A short, leafy one that's really minty and a taller fruity pheno. By the looks of it I think you might have the fruity one.

Lots of us are growing Easy Ryders, it's a great plant for beginners and stealthy home growers. It's painfully slow watching the bud development after day 35 or so though. you don't notice day to day changes, but week to week you should definitely notice the buds fattening up and growing taller/longer, especially around weeks 6-8+ (expect them to go 10 weeks or more). Interesting that you topped them, not many people top their autos due to their short life span and the recovery time. I'll be watching your Blue Him. Diesel grow, I got one with my Easy Ryders a couple months ago and plan on growing it with my next batch in a couple weeks after I harvest my Easy Ryders.

Lookin' good! Love seeing the root system like that, though that's a pretty small container for a plant that should grow to 16-30" in a good sized pot. Would be cool to see a good time lapse video/slide show of the root system growing from seed to harvest.

Just a suggestion, you really should just keep a grow journal thread where you can post your pics and details every day, then invite people here to visit it rather than posting all of your daily pics to this thread. It's fun to show everybody pics of our girls occasionally, but all good things in moderation ;). Just a thought!

Yea, I would expect 10 weeks from any plant, I will be checking the trich's to tell when each one is ready. Blue diesels flowers are much larger than the easyryder. I will post more pictures in 20 days or so, I topped because everyone hates on it.. we will see what they grow into, only hoping for good green, not lbs.

I'm with the other guy Irish you need more hours of light 18/6 or 20/4. Autos are meant to receive more light. The ruderalis strains that they are breed with are from the far northern hemisphere and developed the auto trait because of the much longer days during their growing season. I would also resist the urge to top or train them.

Okay so here's the deal.... My seedlings,(EasyRyders & Purple Mazars) are 1 wk old today, BUT are they ok???? All the stems have been dark purple since day 2 and half of them the true leafs are curling down...Hell, as you can see in the pics, some of the stems are squiggly?? They are in 100% FF Light Warrior Soil and been feeding them bottled water with a lil' root stimu since sprouting...(first misting, for 2 days every 12hrs, then about @ day 4 I gave them all 1oz of water every 12 hrs since) Now today they are a wk and they need water NOW, but jus want any ideas or opinions as what is going on with em' ? They do look healthy @ this early stage, but ???? Gonna give em' 2oz each today with some peroxide & root stimu...<whatta ya think?? as it looks like they need more oxygen....OR should I give em' 1/4 strength bio-bloom,(1.5-2.5-2) has a lil' P & K in it<(and I heard that P will get rid of purple stems???) It is very light, as you can see....IDKWTD!!!!
HELP FAST!!!

Well said compared to other 1 sentence answers i have been getting recently which arent of much help lol
I will move the light hours up asap allthough i would love to see someone who has done 12/12 with white dwarf before and has had good results, as ive read somewhere its possible!

Im flowering other non a/f plants so it might be a pain in the ass putting the others in a dark room after 12/12 for their remaining weeks.

i just had an auto seedling that died unexpectedly, it wouldn't turn it's head towards the light and it just shrived up after about three days of this.

usually when the leaves are like that it's because of overwatering but you seem to be fine with your watering schedule. if you do plan of feeding them put like a drop of whatever fert in a 8oz (or so) cup. don't add H2O2, it will harm the life in the light warrior. but yeah, they don't look healthy, they look a bit stressed.

Man those plants look overwatered from my own experiences i would say that your pots(cups?) are too small and keep drying out too quick allmost killing your plants each time since their so young.
Stop feeding them peroxide and root stimulation as a seedling so young growing in a cup that size would be extremely sensitive and your soil should have enough nutrients for the first 2-3 weeks.

Hmmm, very interesting info from both of you guys......OKAY, NO MORE EFFIN PEROXIDE!!! As I should've known betta!!!! (h202 kills benificial bacteria) BUT THEY STARTED TO SHOW THOSE PURPLE STEMS AND LEAVES CURLING DWN BEFORE ADDING H202...... NO MORE ROOT STIMU, (FFLW HAS ROOT STIMU IN IT ALREADY!!!) "MYCORRHIZAE"!!!!

AGGHHH!! YOUR STUPID UPTOSUMPMN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

BUT!! You say the cups are to small??? Keep drying out to quick?? but then you say they are overwatered??? I have to dis agree with those statements....first, I have always used these cups to start em' with great success!! Look @ my previous grows....(and try starting 30-40 seeds in their final pots or @ least in .5gal bags or mini treepots <those were my only other choices, but they take up to much space) Second, how are they overwatered, when this is how I fed em' in all my other grows????? they do get great run-off, (maybe a lil' to much run-off!) because when I started givin em' 1oz of water I got run-off real fast??!!! So, overwatered???? keep drying out to fast??<maybe?? ....great run-off and they get watered every 12 hrs<misting...So I dont know....BUT i think the peroxide and root stimu are part of the problem.....what do ya think about me giving them "JUST" some Superthrive??? <How about 1/4ml to a 1L??

It is possible to use 12/12 but you are going to hurt your yields. People may have had success with it but I am 100% sure they didn't yield all that they could have with more light. I feel you on the pain in the ass part having to separate them. I have switched to autos and will never go back to photo period dependent strains. I don't have the space for two different areas. but with the autos I can put seedlings next to budding plants and keep a staggered harvest.
