AG Short Ryder...

'K...

Guess I'm just getting anxious...

A couple of the taproots are swelling up a bit, and the seeds are cracking even more...

see its all good now they should flower tomorrow if not just rip them up lmao

yea just wait them out and they will do their thing

4 of the 7 seeds have about a 1/4-inch long taproot now...
The other 3 are starting to stick out a little bit...

I am growing short rider too. 1 in an aerogarden and a couple in dirt. They are doing pretty good. Good luck with yours I will be watching.

I have 3 in an aerogarden 3 right now about 3 weeks along. I will be watching as well. I intend to move mine out into a filthyfletch aerotub that I built.

I'm going to finish this grow in the AG...
No extra nutes/lights/pumps...

Next grow, I'm ordering the Stealth Hydroponics complete package for $189/$199...

The AG is an amazing little thing...
Grew the best basil I have ever had before I started growing the Short Rider...

do you have an independent timer for the lights? i understand not wanting to mod, but that is ESSENTIAL.. you need to have total control over your light cycle. 18/6 (24/0 or 20/4 your choice) and 12/12 for flower.. also leaving it on your counter won't do.. you need to have it in a light proof area. its sort of OK for veg to have her out in the open (i emphasize SORT OF, giving it a break is necessary if you're not running a 24 hour light cycle) but once they are into flower... EVEN IF you are doing an auto, she needs pitch black when the lights are off.. any light leaks during the dark cycle and she won't flower properly, she'll continue to veg and not bud.

with all that said.. you already knew that, right?

It's in a gutted out old refrigerator...

I do have a timer...
That's the only mod...

ok cool! sounds good! just making sure where you're at.

got any pics of your setup?

don't think i saw any.


Shack

Not yet...
I'll grab some in a day or 2...
G/f's out of the country visiting t3h family and she has our digital camera...

The taproots are all about 1/2 long now...

I have the lights set on 24 and am gonna leave it like that until the roots hit the water and they can drink on their own...
Then I'll pop 'em into 20/4...

Sound good?

Noob, I started out with the AG tabs and changed over to GH Maxigrow and they are doing much better. Just think about it, it's only like $15 for 2.2 pounds. The res on that machine is pretty small so watch the Ph as well. Good luck and keep us posted.

I am using the recipe for success and having nice results. I can't wait to see some pics. I have an old fridge too and I think it would make a sweet grow box heh.

i just use the normal "AG space saver 6" and i just popped my GodBud seed in yesterday, and it already germed!! and the paper towel method works twice as fast if you just put it in a ziplock bag!!!!! food for thought my man..hope everything is going above perfect!

I've had the best luck just germing right inside the AG under the little bio-dome thingy. The few I did do in a paper towel didn't have a good survival rate. Maybe I was a little brutal with em or something.

They're each about 1 1/2 - 2 inches tall, and are about to start popping their 2nd set of leaves...
The first real pot leaf is already there...

I'm gonna go ahead and pick up an Airstone tomorrow...
I've read too many good things about them to chance not getting 20%+ more on my yield...

yea gotta get the air in that water....the plants will love the extra o2 to the roots

The airstone has been in there for about 7 hours now...
There has already been an explosion of new root growth and new roots popping out...

They're loving that damn thing...
