So this is my first grow and its gonna be nirvanas short riders. These little babies are feminized & autoflowering!!
I ordered the seeds from nirvana on 30th of April (they were shipped on 4th of May) and got them on 7th of May, so only 7days from ordering !!

I ordered 10seeds & took 8 of them and saved 2 for later uses. 8/8 germinated after 2 days (9th of May) and sprouted in 3days after planting (12th of May)

The plan was to grow them in a greenhouse for 2weeks and by that stage they would be able to survive in a forest just about 15kilometers/10miles from where I live. ( and start to look a bit suspicious so i would anyway have to transplant them) at night time I took the plants inside under a pathetic 15w growlight (didnt really have any extra money or time to buy better ones but it was okay for like 7hours a night and in the morning back to the greenhouse for some real sun) so they would get approx. 24hours a day of light so they would grow fast before transplanting! Cuz in where i live the sun shines for like 20hours a day in the summer :) ps. Scandinavia.

2weeks of greenhouse growing went fast, the plants were not so big as I wanted but they were okay. Almost all of them still have showed sex and appears to be female!! 8/8 germinated&sprouted&are female = AWESOME!!!


heres a pic of one at age of 12 or 13 days, I can see some signs of a female, am I right ???

So two weeks has passed and its time to transplant!! (23rd of May)

I bought 30liters/8gallons of good soil for flowers ( checked the nutrient levels & ph and they were perfect!) so it was almost 4liters of soil per plant/1gallon per plant. I think it was enough because the soil in the forest was quite good so i didnt think i need more than that !

ANY IDEAS, SUGGESTIONS & CORRECTIONS ARE WELCOME!! i am a first time grower:) really would like someone to inform about the plants being female or not! i think they are because of the little hairs (seen in the picture above, for some reason the pic went horizontally and i wasnt able to change it back to vertical...) ive done lots of reading about growing cannabis indoors & outdoors & about autoflowering strains so i think i got almost all covered!! but help from a more knowledged grower would give me some peace of mind!

Im pretty sure all these feminized seeds turned out as they promised - FEMALES !!

heres a picture
riu.jpg ive just been wondering if they are 100% feminized cuz ive been hearing that sometimes all feminized seeds are not really feminized... but im sure these all are because all the 8 plants are showing hairs like this one in the picture

As i ordered 10seeds from nirvana and only planted 8, i was wondering should I germinate & plant the remaining 2, cuz anyway the next time I would be able to grow those would be next summer.....

of those 8 that I planted earlier im hoping to get something like +10grams/½oz per plant, even though I know that I might get even more but this is my first grow and 80-100grams/3-4oz would be awesome !! anyway Im probably gonna germinate the remaining 2seeds in few weeks.. not sure yet though..

Short rider is a great plant with a nice taste. I just harvested one plant :D Keep in mind that the Nirvana flowering timeframe estimation might not be accurate.
I've subscribed with your thread. Keep it safe & take care of your babies. Good luck!

So today is 3weeks & 1day = day 22 from germination!
This morning I went to check out how my girls are doing and 5/8 had grown
significantly !!! out of the 3 that had not grown, 2 were dying, and 1 was starting to die.. well those 3 were the weakest ones anyway! ( and i was kind of sure that they would not make it even before i transplanted) I think the problem with those 3 was that they dont get enough sun..

Im real happy how those 5 beautiful ladies are doing!! Because of 3 plants are dying, I am going to germinate the remaining 2seeds that I have, hopefully they will replace the dying ones!

Now its time for pictures ;)

Your plants look good but I don't see anything indicating sex in any of those photos. How many hours of sunlight are those plants getting?

Are u sure sonar? look at this pic (its the same as the 3rd from right that is above)
RIU.jpg

i can see pistols/hairs (or what they are called, pointed with a red arrow) clearly :D
Plants are getting about 18hours of light a day, will be getting even more when the summer really kicks in (20-22hours of sunlight a day in the summer)

heres a link of photo that helped me to say that the plants are female

I can see similarity to the upper plant in the link (the female)
