    First grow - Easy Ryders under CFLs in soil

    Thanks. Heck, the way I see it, it was a miracle that I even germinated and sprouted 6 seeds out of 6, much less grew all 6 of them to maturity and produced some very stoney bud, in pretty decent quantities considering my pots were only (mistakenly) about 1 gallon. I take the harshness report...

    First grow - Easy Ryders under CFLs in soil

    Thanks. I don't know how in depth other people get with their trimming, but I literally tried to remove each sugar leaf entirely whenever possible, rather than just trimming flat along the side of the bud, leaving a lot of leaf buried inside. VERY tedious, but the result is as close to pure...

    First grow - Easy Ryders under CFLs in soil

    Ok, I know it's been a long time coming but I'm finally getting around to posting harvest pics, weight totals, and a 2nd hand smoke report since I'm not smoking currently. All 6 of my autoflowering plants (5 Easy Ryders and 1 Onyx) have been harvested, thoroughly de-stemmed and de-leafed, dried...

    First grow - Easy Ryders under CFLs in soil

    The smell is a little different for each of the plants that I've harvested. Scarlett still smelled a little skunky after I harvested her, even after I had let her dry for about 36 hours and I was trimming it down to the buds, but now that it's dried for a few days it really doesn't have any of...

    First grow - Easy Ryders under CFLs in soil

    Day 87 from seed and I just flushed Stella for the 3rd time and put her in the dark. I'll be harvesting her tomorrow night after about 36 hours of darkness, on day 88 from seed. I prefer to do 48 hours in the dark, and she actually still has a pretty fair amount of new bud growth so she could...

    First grow - Easy Ryders under CFLs in soil

    Thanks Sonar and Thermol. I've actually been taking pics before and after harvesting each plant, I just haven't been able to motivate myself to edit them and put them up. I don't do anything unless I do it right lol, so before I put up any pics I have to bring them into photoshop, optimize the...

    First grow - Easy Ryders under CFLs in soil

    Quick update: Scarlett was just flushed for the 2nd or 3rd time, and I just put her into darkness. I'll harvest her either Monday night or Tuesday sometime. Really disappointed with how she turned out, the loss of all the leaves DEFINITELY dealt a serious blow to her bud growth, which all but...

    Wow, that's some serious wattage! Don't want to see that electricity bill! Over 3 feet is pretty crazy for an Easy Ryder, definitely would have to be the larger phenotype. I've seen some upwards of 30" from soil, but I don't think I've seen any over 3 feet. Can't say I'm completely surprised...

    Stay away from Attitude Seeds

    Prior to this thread, I've seen nothing but good things posted about the experiences people have had with Attitude. It's widely regarded as one the best, most reliable seed banks around. I've ordered from them twice personally, once with super stealth, once just in a DVD case, and I received...

    First grow - Easy Ryders under CFLs in soil

    Well I finally harvested Sarah last night on day 79 from seed. Took forever to trim her up, but I'm probably really anal about trying to get rid of all the leaves but save the maximum amount of bud. All said and done she was right about 100g wet, so that will probably dry to a good 3/4 of an...

    First grow - Easy Ryders under CFLs in soil

    Yeah that would be really great if you could measure both of your units so you could see whether my situation was just a fluke, or whether they're falsely advertising these things with respect to the wattage. The guy I exchanged the email with reiterated that he thinks I'm going to love the...

    First grow - Easy Ryders under CFLs in soil

    Update regarding my new Pro-Grow 250 and my contact with Hydroponics Hut. I emailed someone from the company last night with my pics of the scratches and scuffs, and talked about my concerns that the light was only drawing 150W total with both modes activated, and only 120W in flowering mode...

    First grow - Easy Ryders under CFLs in soil

    Amber has been harvested on day 69 from seed, pics to come later. Just about 41g wet with a little bit of stem, so she'll probably wind up just about 8g dry I'm guessing. I was estimating for quite some time that I would only get about a good 1/4 from her, so it's right in line. Disappointing...

    First grow - Easy Ryders under CFLs in soil

    Cool tubes cost money, so do the inline fans and the ducting, as does the HPS/MH and ballast of course. Add them all up and you're looking at a higher cost than the LED for sure, and you're using 3 times more energy between the HPS and the fan, even if the light were running at the wattage it...

    Woohoo, my new Pro-Grow 250W LED arrived today! Won't have the opportunity to put it to the test for at least a couple weeks, but I did turn it on and test it out. Here are some of my observations: My first observation was that the casing was a little scuffed and scratched up. Nothing major...

    First grow - Easy Ryders under CFLs in soil

    Thanks! It's been a long hard journey and I'm really glad there's light at the end of the tunnel. It can't get here soon enough for my large phenotype Easy Ryders, 2 out of 3 of them are just about devoid of any leaves. No question that this stupid leaf problem has affected the yield and...

    First grow - Easy Ryders under CFLs in soil

    Quick update. Tonight I flushed Sarah (day 75 from seed) for the 3rd and final time in a little over 2 weeks, and put her in darkness. I took some pics of her that I'll add later today, but she looks almost identical to Tiffany. I also sort of flushed Amber (day 66 from seed) and put her in...

    First grow - Easy Ryders under CFLs in soil

    Quick note. I re-weighed the main cola again just now and it's down to 9.7g from 34.3 (.28% of wet weight). That extrapolates out to 3/4 of an Oz. dry weight currently for everything I harvested, including some stem that will need to be removed. Really hope it doesn't lose too much more...

    First grow - Easy Ryders under CFLs in soil

    Thanks, I really work hard to make sure all of my pics look good and are in focus. Here's a harvest update. Tiffany (smaller pheno Easy Ryder) is still hanging out and drying, and I could tell her weight has already changed dramatically as soon as I picked up her main cola a couple hours ago...

    First grow - Easy Ryders under CFLs in soil

    Ok, it's been a long and windy road, and one that I'm still traveling on with 5 other plants, but today was a huge milestone on the way to the finish line. Here are the pre and post harvest pics of Tiffany on day 68 from seed. I put some objects in some of the pictures just for scale, but you...
