Hi guys sorry for the late update been extremely busy with college project - last semester though

So here are some more pics.

Day 25 -

Hehe she's coming along pretty well i think , ive decided to call her Moonlight =D . Should i be worried about the yellowing edges on a few of the bottom leaves? the new growth looks fine, and ive given her a dose of epsom salt diluted water with her previous feeding. Also i gave her the 2nd dose of bloom nutrients today, at 1/4 strength will see how she does.

Thanks all for loggin into my grow, im really excited! Hope she starts showing some pistils soon im getting a lil bit worried .

with an autoflower you should be seeing some sign of gender in the next few days if you havent already

is it a feminized seed?

gnome420 · Mar 27, 2013

Go to ace hardware for socket splitters keep lights tighter together looks good tho keep it up

cheech2811 · Mar 27, 2013

@geelong Yup she actually showed sex quite early, like on day 15 or 16 but i finally saw a few white hair yesterday so im happy. I think i nute burnt her a bit in the middle which may have caused her growth to slow down a bit. Will post more pics tomorrow, thanks for all the tips

The first time I grew autos I was on a 24/0 light schedule and I got a good harvest of some fine bud. Now I'm growing autos again and had them on a 24/0 light schedule but decided to switch to 20 on 4 0ff at 5 weeks from seed. I want to see if the light schedule makes any difference.

cheech2811 · Mar 28, 2013

Guys i think i screwd up and caused some nute burn

. Today i flushed with 3 gallons of distilled water and i really hope the burn doesnt reach the new growth. I mightve stunted her though

here are some pics

Day 30

How bad is it? Will she recover and still flower in the next 40 days? I really don care about the yeild i just want her to finish up good!
I saw a few white hair yesterday so im hoping i haven't totally destroyed her.

Hey thanks for loggin into my grow

. I actually ran 24/0 from Day 1 upto day 9 and i suddenly decided to go 20/4 from then onwards since it was my first grow and i wanted to do it like the growers suggested so as to avoid unnecessary problems. But lately most of the journals ive read seem to have gone 24/0 so i was wondering...would it be ok to switch back to 24/0 or would that send the plant back into vegetation and delay flowering?

cheech2811 · Mar 29, 2013

Guys its day 31 and i see only a few white hair here and there so im getting a lil worried, is there a possibility that she will not bud at all?

rev.buttons · Mar 29, 2013

My auto didn't really start flowering till then too. Don't worry it will come in...

cheech2811 · Mar 29, 2013

Added 2 more flowering lights yesterday and i think the plants are loving it!

Currently there is 5 x 27 watt 2700k CFL bulbs directly on top of her canopy, and 2 x 42 watt 6500k CFL for side lighting. Planning on buying 2 more 27watt flowering bulbs to complete the grow

.

More pics in the evening! Thanks a lot to everyone for they're help so far! Cheers

nice grow interested to see the final piece

Day 34

I flushed her with a lot of distilled water and she seems to have improved but the newer set of leaves are still getting burnt at the tips, just cannot understand why

. I just have 1 question, will i get to smoke something off her? even though she's burnt so badly! and will it take a much longer time to form buds because of the nute burn?

geelong · Apr 2, 2013

my two cents -

keep up with the distilled water for a couple more waterings but dont flush it - just water her like normal.

Then ease back into the nutes but start with a quarter of what you gave her when it burnt.

the nute burn will have probably slowed down the bud growth, but if she survives then you will definitely get something to smoke

bullwinkle60 · Apr 2, 2013

I think you need more light.

cheech2811 · Apr 7, 2013

Day 38 -

I can see a lot of white hair now, im hoping she's bounced back and still produces some buds even though she got burnt pretty badly as you can see!

@geelong yup ive done exactly that, just been watering with distilled water. Ill start off with a very low dose of big bloom after a few more days.

Is it possible that the plant can take 90 days or more to grow now? Cause ive been comparing with other easy ryder grows and she looks like a plant which is usually 25 or 27 days old.

geelong · Apr 8, 2013

ive read on another forum of one easy ryder going to 85 days, so 90 isnt out of the question.

it also depends on what sort of high you want as well.

if youre after total couchlock than your going to be leaving it longer anyway

cheech2811 · Apr 8, 2013

Actually i wanted as less couch lock as possible, since the stuff i get around here gives mostly a body high and we rarely get anything that gives a real nice head stone so i was thinking of cutting her down with about 70% cloudy and 30% amber trichomes if i can judge it well enough.

She's growing a lot suddenly, loads of pistils everywhere

will post more pics tonight

bubbabok · Apr 9, 2013

Looks like an good grow man. I'm thinking of doing some easy Ryder this year. But wanna try them outdoors too.

cheech2811 · Apr 14, 2013

Update - Day 45

The burn just doesnt seem to be stopping :S i think it might be because of my soil. I was pretty stupid to add Red soil along with my coco i think thats whats causing the burnt leaves

im so scared i havent even added nutes after that just been watering. I really hope she will finish out!
