My First Ever Grow - Snow Ryder (white label) & Lowryder 2 - CFL 250watt dual spec

Hi all this is week one of my grow, First of all i have to say before i started i learnt alot from this forum took alot of ideas and tips and made my own plan.

under 24 hour light ( mixed feeling some say 18\6 some 20\4 or 24 so i am going to do a mix of first couple of weeks 24 hour light then i´ll go down to 20\4 )

Spec list:

5 snow ryder (white label) fem
2 lowryder 2 (joint doc) fem
Old Wooden Closit 90x60x160
CFL 250watt dual spectrum (Temp in the closit is about (80 - 86F)
E14 Reflector
W\B Foil on the walls
Terra Flora & Vega nutes & Root Juice (Root Stimulator)
Soil - Bio Canna Plus 50l (ph 5.3 - 6.5)
Some Jiffys
Pots two joined together 3,5l i got them before i found out you need larger pots...
A fan is to come in the next couple of days

There was one tiny snow ryder seed and it still gemnated but is very tiny and week the same age as the others though did not want to give it up.,. any info that could make the little plant survive would be great! Its on the first pic. All comments are very welcome how i can improve the setup ( keep in mind im not rich lol ).

Week 1

Hi Guys Got 2 pics of beginning of Week 2, would love to get some feedback and tips! First pic is a problem i am still having this one seed i got it to gem at about the same time as the others but its like a mini me of the other plants the root will not grow so i have put it in a water & nutes mix any tips would be awsome thanx!., second pick are the rest of the plants all very healthy and growing well even started to smell a bit.,.,.

Roots hate light, so either re-plant (I would) or get roots covered from light. That pic of it before looked too wet to me.

Like Danielsgb said, I would get the roots out of light. I also would drown them in water, they also like oxygen!
Some times you just get a seed that grows slower than the rest.. Don't worry about it, it's obviously nothing you're doing wrong, cause the others are fine, it's just the seed.. Treat it the exact same as the others and it'll grow up just fine, it may just lag behind or grow different.. Out of the 5 I have going right now, I also have one lagger.. Started out much the same as yours, Now it's still not as bushy as the other 4, but it is taller.. I wouldn't worry about it, just keep growin. And when you sex them, clone your females and kill your males..

Thx for the comments guys! Found it very helpful as being a clueless newbie......... would be awsome if u commented on mistakes i might be doing in the future on this grow or just improvements.,,.


Cheers!

Hi All first of all Happy Christmas!!,.

This is now end of week 2 all has been going well and as you will see in pic one the mini me has rooted and started to grow but it really still tiny.., any ideas?., pic two lol ok its a bet (lowryder2 seedling) my buddy said can you grow a plant in a bottle? i said probly and made the bet i would get at least 10grams from the plant in pic two you will see it makes a wierd u turn and then grows upwards is that a problem?? The seedling look wierd aswell from the beginning.,

As you can all see in the other pics the plants look heathy still on a 24 hour light cycle will change to 18/6 in a couple of weeks, The one thing thats bugging me there no real good grower info on the snow ryder (white label ) im growing.....the breeder says it grows between 100-120cm and yields upto 150gr, but it look more short and bushy at the moment, has anyone grown snow ryder before? any info would be great, I hope when this grow is finished i can help others that want to grow the strain..,., the one other lowryder 2 i got is growing well and catching up with the others.,

#ok the pics


Week 2

oh i fogot to say i added the fan its awsome it only use´s 2.8 watts and creates a good air flow in the closit

.

Update into week 3 the plants are doing very well did a close up too of one of them, shame i am getting no comments no idea to take that as good thing or bad thing Happy New Year Everyone.,.,

Looking good to me. Nice green color. I'm back here watching.
Daniels

At the end of week 3 now the plants have hit a rapid phase of growth looking good giving them nute 3 times a week, the two lowryders are lagging behind but they where planted later, Shall i keep the cycle on 24 hours of light or change down soon to 18\6..,

I never run 24/7. I think they need some night for roots to grow. Even 20/4 makes sense to me. No where in Nature is it 24hrs light in a place where Cannabis can grow. They look good and healthy either way.

Cool thats good to know i´ll put them down to a 20\4 cycle to give them some rest, Do you spray your plants with a water mister?

I only mist clones or seedlings till I dampen them off. I do mist with Neem Oil once a week or every other week.

Hi, wanted to know something about the lighting i am using a dual spectrum 250w 6500k \ 2700k think it pumps out 16000lum i know its not the world but the plants seem to be growing very well.,. just wondering whether its going to be powerful anof in the bloom stage? i did what i could by using white sheeting to get the most from the light just hope it will work as it is my first grow.,.,

heres a update pic its 3 days to go till end of week 4

week 5 coming up here are a few update pics, I have also switched down to 18\6 light cycle, biggest worry at the moment is that my light has not got the power for the flower stage because the palnts are not getting any smaller!! lol

Sounds like Fungus Gnats. Not a serious issue to be too worried about. Look up a way to deal with them that works for you. Lots of ways but try a non-cannabis site for a cheap DIY solution. Kinda busy to look up a one I've used.
Daniels

Yep. The white hairs are where pollen would make seeds in nature. Try these I love them.
