Diesel Ryder 250w CFL Grow

You can always just make a compost tea. If you used well composted stuff it is nearly impossible to burn because the salt content in compost is low. Worm castings are great for nitrogen and trace minerals. you dont even have to aerate if you just need the fertilizer part. Just dissolve some compost in your water and go to town. i use it on my outdoor plants and they are very green and healthy. i drench them with it once or twice a week (would do more if i could). You can even use the stuff on seedlings. I used it on my diesel ryder seedling with good results. Granted i did not drench fully. just a light watering. A good organic soil and compost tea can take most of the guess work out of the process. Just an idea. Not trying to play the my way is better. You have done fine so far. I have read this whole thread trying to research the diesel ryders. I have one growing indoors right now. She is 12 days old, 3 established nodes, and four young branches so far. Anyways, Thanks for the thread. It has helped me in my grow. Good luck.

yeah man no problem ill try the tea next grow but stay subbd because they are all coming down before September.
O and here is this cool chart i someone posted.....

IndianaHome · Aug 1, 2010

That's pretty cool. It does look like the bud growth suffered due to leaf loss. If you can keep your leaves throughout, you will be able to harvest much more.

Well done. This strain seems to be pretty popular. Any idea what the potency is like??

i think it is pretty potent because its crossed with new york city diesel....hopefully ill tell you its bomb in two weeks

djruiner · Aug 1, 2010

yeah when i found that pic it made me feel better...my diesel is following that chart right now...cant wait till around day 40..they seem to really have a growth spurt then.and this strain is getting more and more well known.its perfect for those that like the autos and likes a smaller growing plant,yet stays very potent.i think its thc content can get to about 20% i think with a high cbd level also.the potency and the taste/aroma comes from the NYCD while it takes its size from the lowryder #2 strain

djruiner · Aug 1, 2010

oh yeah...i preach to people about worm casting/compost teas..they really do help the plants out.great organic fert with no risk of nute burn.it also helps to dress your soil with the stuff...get a 2-4 inch layer of it above your normal soil...they grow like hell with it during its veg phase

IndianaHome · Aug 2, 2010

Yeah you can top dress worm castings, mix it into the soil before planting, or line the bottom of the container.

Harth, the potency was really nice for mine, I would honestly give it a 7/10, not insanely potent but a slow climber into a really nice headspace

Then again I did harvest at 7 weeks rather than wait 2 more. lol I love sativas.

yeah im more of a fan of head highs but im deff going to 9 or even 10 weeks just to see what yield and potency

Day 53

So here is a little update of the most mature plant "the tall skinny bitch"

noxzious · Aug 3, 2010

Looking good bro! Must say!

How long you got left then?

Hard to gage size cuz of the pics but the buds are maturing nicely

noxzious · Aug 3, 2010

Thanks man, i think this one has 1-2 more weeks left and the others i have are less developed so around 2-3.
I'll throw a ruler in there next time or a soda can (not that my buds are anywhere near the thickness of a soda bottle).

The outdoor one got rained on a lot so it still needs like 4 more weeks but it is about double the hight of the indoor ones and maybe 1.5 times the hight of the individual diesel ryder I've been showing you guys.

noxzious · Aug 3, 2010

Niice just wondering do you bring it in at night and put in your cfl room? Theoretically the rain should be good for flowering.

nah it had some bug bites so i didnt want to bring it inside, and then i was curious to what the difference would be if i left it out there its whole lifetime.
