TheDankTank's CFL Pakistan Ryder grow. (auto)

Just started my CFL rubbermaid grow. I bought 3 Pakistan Ryder feminized autoflowering seeds. I've got about $200 tied up in equipment and supplies. I'm growing it in my spare bathroom shower in my finished basement. Since the plant is so small right now I only have 3 bulbs setup (1x 2700k 55w, 2x 6500k 26w)

Equipment:
-4x 6500k 26watt
-2x 6500k 105watt(coming in mail soon)
-2x 2700k 55watt
-2x 35gal rubbermaid bins
-Dayton Blower (exhaust, 797 CFM)
-Ventilation piping
-3 gal. pot
-GH Organic Bloom nutes
-SuperThrive
-DIY carbon filter

Using MG Organic(yeah I know) and 25% perlite. Started at 24/0, switching to 20/4 today. aaaaand here are some pics. Constructive criticism welcome.

Hell yeah man just like old times, Looks good so far and I need to get my journal posted. Also we need some CaMg

So its day 18. I started off with MG organics, but switched to Fox Farm Ocean forest at day 14 as I transplanted it to its final home. The solo cup I started in was already filled with roots but the foliage is lacking. I also bought the complete line of General Hydroponic organics, which is helping extremely well.


I unfortunately slowed its grow by nute lockout due to bad pH (never again MG!), shocking with cold water, and some over watering from pH flooding. Now that the pH problem is fixed (thanks to FFOF) and I'm using general hydroponics GO line my plant finally came out of stunted growth(and transplant shock), and is growing more rapidly then ever. Here are some pics of the little lady at day 18(a very small day 18).

Any comments, questions or constructive criticism welcome.

Day 18

Alright, today is day 26 and my plant is growing very aggressive and is absolutely loving the organic soil and the new organic nutes its getting. There are little hairs growing and the undergrowth is everywhere. I've been feeding it BioRoot, CaMg, BioThrive Bloom, BioBud, and BioMarine all by GH's General Organics line balanced at 6.5-6.8 range.

I also started doing some LST in attempt to yield more. I'm going to LST it for atleast another 5 days. As of today I have 43 days before harvest (14 days Veg. 55 Flower) So I don't want to spend too much time on it.

Also switched the lights around a bit.

Here are some pics!

Bump! I guess no one is interested in small indoor grows anymore. Cheers anyways

This post is 2 days after harvest. So far the wet weight of the nugs is 117g, and that is including the giant stems that are attached. My next post will be the final dried weight and pictures of nugs. Here is what has happened up until this date.

Start of LST: (Instead of wrapping all the way around the pot, i bent the main stem across the pot and pulled the smaller branch colas away from each other to make nice thick colas.




After LST:

In only 69 days this plant is very quick and produces a great yield. My friend also grew this plant as well and he had a 50% greater yield than mine. At 21% THC it has a very couch-lock high when smoked. 5 out of 5 stars for sure.

Let me know what you think. Nug pics and dry weight after curing.

Not even one bite

That's a fucking boss little grow you got. I want to do something like this. I like large grows but something small and so simple is awesome, great job!

Hey thanks man. I have my second seed in the soil now. Will be posting a second journal.

Looks like a pretty decent yield, man! Can't wait to see 'em all dried 'n pretty ;]

Im ready to see the final product. Ive been considering autoflowering as my main choice, im still getting the hang of it sonim using a bagseed my first go around but when i go to order my beans i think i might go with Pakistan Ryder

I'm growing a Paki Ryder atm, she's at day 19, it's my first grow and these pics have really made me happy haha! I hope I can come close to what you have there, I plan on LST too, she's under a 250w HPS

Great little grow man, looks like a decent yield, have you got a final weight? Last post here was about 2 weeks ago...

Sorry about the delay guys. Total dried weight was 34 grams. I am completely happy with this plant. Under CFLs, and in 69 days flat this is a decent yield.

The high is completely couch lock and it is quite devastating. The smoke was very smooth as i hoped when i chose to grow organically(which i absolutely recommend).

The pakistan ryder im growing now is much bigger than this one. Here is some pics!
(of course as always complements and criticism is welcome)

Some Dank from the Tank:





1st Plant Day 27 vs. 2nd Plant Day 27

nice grow im going wih pak ryder and afghan ryder

Good choices man, you will not be disappointed. The afghan ryder has almost the same genetics as the Pakistan ryder, with the exception of slightly higher thc content. Thanks for the kind words.

Whenever you get your grow going, hook me up with the link. I'd like to see how the afghan turns out.




(What took so long for my thread to jump to 2 pages? longest first page I've seen.)

Are both plants you got going now Pakistan Ryders again?
You gonna keep a journal going here?

I have a Paki, 2 Easy Ryders and a Speed Devil #2 that's in flower right now, I would put up a journal but no camera at the moment...

34 grams is a nice yield! I'll be very happy to get an oz off each of mine

Yes I have one paki going right now. It is much bigger as you seen from my previous post with pics. I'll try to update atleast twice a weak on my other paki.

Nice choices man, im sure you'll get an oz, just treat her right. You going to LST them?

And i just use my cell phone camera for now.

Yeah I'm LSTing one Easy Ryder and the Paki, I'm letting the other ER go itself to compare the two, and no LST on the Speed Devil as I got it off a buddy a week before flower so it's too late now.

I think I'll buy a camera today so may have a journal started soon, I'll post a link when I do, it would be good to get input as you seem to know what you're doing!

I'm looking forward to seeing this grow, keep up the good work!

Nice grow I just started some autos myself. I have a couple kush ryders in there. One is a runt but well have to see. Im subbed. My grow is in my sig if you're interested
