My First DWC Grow w/ Short Rider from Nirvana

If my math is correct this is Day 10.

So far everything is looking good. I changed water out a couple of days ago and cleaned the air stones and any buildup developed in other areas of dwc. I used Hydrogen peroxide and lots of water to flush it all out.

I am still using 1/4 tsp per gallon of grow big. Does anyone suggest I try 1/2 tsp per gallon next water change?

I have included pics of the roots and how they are doing in the water. As you can see I am only using water submerged and not any pumps. They seem to be doing fine unless anyone else thinks differently.

Please I use all input as this is my first serious DWC closet grow.

I still have my other 3 dwc container and I am contemplating buying g13 fem seeds from attitude for it.

The temps are 82.5 within grow area and 86.5 under the lights. I took the pic to show where the fan placed at. Perhaps I should put the fan above? Seeing how hot air rises correct?

My humidty is at 41 % now. Which is where it should be. The weather is suppose to be dropping as well so that should help until I am able to get a ac unit of some type to help control temps.

The one plant the leaves are kind of saggin anyone know why?

There looking great! nice and green and healthy lookin!

Thanks for the pic update!

Is it normal for the leaves to kind of curl like that?

As well, is this good growth considering it is day 10

looks good they got big for 10 days. nice one

When should I increase the nutes? AS the bottom leaves kind of curling inside and slightly yellow. I did not know if it needed more nutes or not. I also went ahead and switched to 20/4 light schedule. I am still trying to figure out what I want to do seed wise.

I took some really good bag seed I had and put them in plugs to germinate. I will be placing them in a soil container, preferably a small container. ANyone suggest a size, 3 gallon or perhaps less? I figured I could do like several small plants inconjunction with the autoflowering low ryder. Veg for a month or so by time I flower short ryder should be ready to harvest if they auto. go into flowering mode.

Ok it is Day 12. So I added the HPS cool tube into the closet only to realize one of the yo yo hangars does not work. I must of broken it.


Anyways I am concerned about the yellowing of the leaves. WHAT DO I DO? I cant figure out why..!!!

Anyways I dont fully have the hps hooked up as I need to add ventilation to it. I am concerned about my lighting issue!!!

Should I take out the t5 and just leave the 400 w hps? Possibly add some fluros 6500k. Then I can keep the t5 for a veggin room?

Or keep both in which is adding alot of heat!!

I added like 10 more seeds or so. I figured I do what ever is shows best growth. These are seeds I just gathered from good bag weed. I dont know why I did it I figured maybe I can veg it for a month or so. THen when its time to harvest short rider I can flower those. Just a thought.

I really want to buy ak47 autos.. I heard good things about em. I am really on a budget and hope that I can flip what I spent come time for harvesting.


I can use all the input I can get as I dont want to fuck my grow up. I am spending alot of time and money into this and I want to get premium results although I am new at this, I want best results I can get.

OK so I am throwing things out here, but I am going to invest in a window ac to help with temps. That way I can try to have a flower room and veg room in same room divided by panda film.

I can just buy the roll by 10 ft long and drape it from celing. just a thought.... anyways I cant get my other damn timer to work can someone help me with it! I thing either its a product malfuntion or operator error.

wat kinda room is this in...cus i mean i use my 400 MH ina closet with jus a couple fans and i dont have a problem with ventilation but either way id keep those t5's cus hps'es arent the correct light spectrum for veg. i mean it would help but i wouldnt bank completely on jus the HPS...t5s have the correct spectrum for veg.

yes but once these kick into flower mode which should be another 3 week or so.

But my temps are 95 with both on!!! thats crazy... I really need ac bad... BTW how do the leaves look, should i be worried about how they are looking? I dont want any issues.!!! NEed some input! THANKS

Let me retract my statement, I just went in and it was 104 right under the lights! So I really need a AC bad to keep temps at ideal spot if I want both lights in here. I am also concernd is that my light will have ac vent attached to it. So how do I move the light?

i guess chains and hooks?....but ya those temps will deff kill ur plants id do something bout that asap. and ya but for the time being u should deff keep the t5's actually id even keep them during flowering mixing spectrums is great no matter what kinda grow u have

any inuput as to why my plant is doing this?

Looks like heat stress. Get your temps down in there. Get a fan going or leave it wide open. You wont have to worry about smell until flowing time.

K THANKS i GET A FAN

OOPs i wasnt finished lol, I am going to get a fan and put it in there, i needed one anyways to give it good structual growth. I see if that helps

Ya that should thicken up the stem. just go pick up a small fan at wallyworld, their like 7$

They have 3 speeds and just keep it on low

Point the fan at the lights not at the plant. The leaves should just barely be moving : )

I actually rigged some pc fans to a wall outlet adapter which worked great problem is i cant find it lol.

ya those are good if your using a box. Id just grab the fan from wallyworld. It moves alot of air and you wont have to worry about it burning up the fan.

ya i got one from wally world that is awesome

as long as u follow the guidlines... ph... temp ... humidity lighting... ventialation... you will crop good plants... nice setup let me know how u yield at the end.. i am thinking of trying this strain once i am done with wonderwoman and papaya

I concur! the only bad thing that I have heard about the shortrider is that it is auto-flowering. so it doesint matter if you have it on 12/12 it'll flower when it gets ready! I like to be able to trick and control the plant to how I want it to be : )
