Nirvana Short Rider CFL Grow

Soil
3 gal pot
2 parts no-name organic soil
1 part Perilite
1 Part Vermiculite

Nutes
Schultz liquid plant food 10-15-10 - Veg 1/2 strength
Nirvana Flowertabs when she is ready.

Lights
4 x 25w 27k
2 x 25w 65k

Temps with lights on 73 - 76
Temps with lights off 64 - 68

I gave her the first dose of the plant food 2 days ago and see a little bit of burning on the very tip of 2 leaves, going to monitor and flush if it gets worse.

She is presently 21 days old, 4 inches high and 7 inches across the top.

Please feel free to critique, I am open to all advise and criticism as this is my first grow and feel the best way to learn is constructive criticism

What strain are your little ladies?

I am running 150w worth of CFL for her, 4 x 2700k on top and 2 x 6500k on the sides. Lights are about 4 inches away.

What did you get for your autoflower? Short rider is a strain from Nirvana, I have heard mixed results about them but so far am quite happy with how this grow is turning out.

Thanks rockbud, I was thinking about trying dieselryder next actually, how was the buzz from her?

I am about to add half a flowertab to the pot next watering and would like to know if it is a good idea to do a flush before I add it into the soil to clear out the Schultz i was using for veg or does it really not matter that much?

Yeah, I have read to try and aim for 100w per plant so that is what I did, I just added the 2 65K on the sides to get some more light under the foliage to the lower bud sites. You have any pics of your girls?

**bump** to stay on the first page, i like comments lol

I was at the computer last night and heard a big bang come from the closet that scared the crap outta me, went to investigate and the lights above had fallen down on top of her cutting 3 leaves. None of the lights broke so am very relieved with that!

Other than that not much else that is new, hairs popping up everywhere. Gonna start her flower nutes soon I think.

I really does amaze me how fast she grows, I gave her a good watering yesterday and swear she grew at least an inch.
