Berry Ryder, Auto#1, Auto sweet tooth - grow journal

I'm glad to be helping out fellow brothers. What are you thinking about growing?

I started a good thread on organic soil. It's worth checking out. A lot of the guys chimed in on a good recipe for a great organic soil. Keeping in mind, if you do go organic, you won't have to buy nutrients or fuck around with ph of your soil. 100 bucks on soil or 150-200 on soil and nutrients? Those are my thoughts, but whatever you can get your hands on right. My first round was with promix mycrohazae soil and I bought nutes, next round pure organic.

Smoke report won't be for a while. 5 weeks give or take for sweet tooth and berry Ryder. I can't wait. Right now I'm taking advantage of my buddies hydroponics. He grew some critical mass. It's a good smoke. Nice and clean, it's my game weed. I smoke it and I zone in. I'm a goalie for hockey and last game I smoked it and almost got a shut out. I was zoned in all game. The high lasts long and it's an uplifting high. Doesn't burn you out too much. The taste is kinda peppery. I chewed on a stem while I was chopping to roll, and it almost choked me out. Spicy I'd give it. I don't know if its what he's using in his resivoir or what but if that's what the strain is then ya, watch out for this one. I wouldn't recommend smoking it and going to work though, you'll be lost lol.

 

Seeds germinate best in a warm, moist, dark area. What I did was use the paper towel method, and put it on top of my water heater. I used a sandwich bag as a dome. You don't need light until you put them in soil. When you see those babies poking through the soil, you'll want to add the light. I wouldn't shine the light through the dome, the dome will filter light.

 

Sounds like you have no shortage of light, that's for sure. Atta boy! Ya man, just keep the dome on and water the pellets when the dry out. It should take 3-4 days for a nice long root to form, then you will see a stem with two tiny little leaves come out. Sometimes the sprout will have a hard time shedding its seed shell so what I did was very delicately help it off. Tweezers and a steady hand. You should see sprout within 4-5 days from the time you buried them. I started my germ on thursday night and it was in the soil by sunday. Keep an eye on the jiffy pellets though, the dry up quick. If its really light, add more water. Do this in a dish, add water to the dish and stick the pellets in, let it soak up the water till the water is just standing, then repeat for your other babies. Shouldn't take long though man. My buddy did the same with the pellets, and he had his in the dark on the water heater and within a few days all of them were good to go. Just be patient and you'll be rewarded. A lot of people are in a rush, so just remember to keep it simple, they're weeds, they'll grow regardless just as long as there's water and soil

 

Sup dude, no worries. Always glad to help out. Your worried about light? I wouldn't worry about it sox, the seed is in dirt, no light will touch it. The light would be good for heat if anything. If the seed was planted outside, it would get 12-13 hours light every day anyway. The only reason I had it in the dark was because mine was in a glass with paper towel. This is me man, check out my first thread. It gives detail on how I started out, starting with my growing area and environment. http://forum.grasscity.com/absolute-beginners/1117872-beginners-grow-cab-advice-setup-plz.html

Btw, you mentioned that you have an airtight container? That worries me more than anything, plants need air and oxygen. I'd make it so that your container is less air tight just enough for some air to get at it. You'll still retain humidity from the soil.

 

So it's update day. There has been some complications in the grow this past week. The weed has gotten so smelly I had to move them to a buddies place. He's germinating 3 of the autos I mentioned previously in this thread, the ultra lemon haze, Pineapple Express, and northern lights x big bud. If you notice in my last pictures the plants are under light in a different environment. Ill be bringing my supplies and growing environment to his place, Mylar box with PC powered fans for air movement and cooling. Watering is today in a few hours. Ill take pictures while I'm there. I can't wait to see them. Feeding auto #1 with just water and the other two with another feeding of water and original pure blend, full recommended dose. So stay tuned today and you will be updated,
Cheers

 

Ni worries about the ranting, im come on here to read and learn what people do. its fun . Dude! I spend so much time looking at my next grow its crazy. Few strains I want to check out or try growing is dr.greenspoon, super lemon haze, strawberry haze for pheno types and purple cheese, ultra lemon haze, pineapple chunk and blueberry for auto type. Purple cheese seems to be sold out everywhere all the time. But auto #1, is a really nice looking plant, grew great! Smells great, bet you it smokes great too lol. Ill be growing that one again depending on smoke report lol. Thanks for the nice words man. I started out wanting strains that weren't as potent in terms of smell, so I waited to see if I needed a carbon filter or not and yup definitely needed one. Cash flow won't allow me to invest in a blower for the filter so I just gave them up. Keeping in mind a couple more weeks won't hurt being somewhere else. Makes the heart grow fonder lol. So ya to answer your question I didn't and next grow, it's a must have. Gonna invest in a small tent too. It's worth it. Wood cost me $100 to build the cab and I think a tent setup would be a lot better for what I want. Another 300+ $ ... Worth it after a few months though.
Let me know how it goes man.
Peace

 

So lookin back on my grow journal my first problem I encountered, I now know that it was the heat that caused my plants to burn. I thought I had I normal 45 watt cfl, turned out to be a heat lamp. Heat lamp for the win.... Lol so ya, if you encounter the same thing on your babies, make sure your lights are at proper height and watch the temperature. Prolly stunted the growth a few days.

 

Finally update time.

Got my environment set up again for final stages. 1 week for auto #1 and two weeks for berry Ryder and sweet tooth. We fed pure water for the auto #1 and full nutes for the other two. Next week is chop time for the sweet little auto.

The new kids on the block ultra lemon haze, pineapple expeess and northern lights big bud is also in the mix as well. Weird growth on Pineapple Express. 3 leaves, then another set of three leaves.. Have you ever seen this? This is one to watch, that's for sure!

This is the weird growth I was talking about. 3 centre leaves and 3 outer leaves.

 

Thx technine
I don't have a magnifying glass yet lol. Gonna hit up a dollar store this week to check out the cloudyness of the crystal. Since I don't have access to the plants, the decision to chop will be made Thursday or Friday. I'm 90% sure that my auto #1 will be good to go, the other I believe need at least another week to fill out more and become more colorfull . They are dank little beasts.

Btw I'm looking into some seeds for my next grow, if anyone wants to give me some suggestions on strains that are good for energetic high, cerebral highs, and good highs for gaming, please share with me what you believe would be good for this. Maybe some really tasty bud.

I want to try something different this grow as well like a "World of Seeds Sweet Coffee Ryder Autoflowering".

Sweet Coffee Ryder is another great strain from the WORLD OF SEEDS AUTOFLOWERING COLLECTION. This is a strain that can be grown indoors and outdoors. This strain has a low resistance to mushrooms and plague as well as a low irrigation tolerancy. Its breading is Low Rudelaris x Colombian Santa Marta and can be expected to flower in 8-9 weeks and grown to a height of 40 - 120cm. You can also expect a yield of 450 - 550 gr/m² indoors and 25 - 60 gr/plant outdoors. It also has a THC level of 17-19% .

I heard Santa Marta is a really good strain. It would be really interesting. Any thoughts

Also any thoughts on purple cheese? Supposed to be an intense body stone..

 

I like anything that will get me high but if I can cultivate a really tasty bud that'll knock me out, I'd be proud of it something keep on the shelf.

I'm actually growing the ultra lemon haze, 50 odd days left on it. Definitely sticking to autos right now. Going outdoor during the summer. So ill be getting some super lemon haze for that. Purely auto for my indoor. Ill be doing 6 at a time 3 at my place and 3 at my buddies. I'm the seed supplier with the credit card lol
