Welcome to my 2010 Diesel Ryder Grow
After a successful 2009 Easy Ryder Grow which can be found at the link below, Ive decided to give these unique sativa / ruderalis hybrids another grow.
Here are the specifications for this grow:
- Strain: Diesel Ryder by The Joint Doctor - Strain sourced from Attitude Seeds
- Lighting: 600w HPS Hortilux Bulb in a SunLeaves Arctic Breeze Sealed hood
- Light Timing: 20/4 for the grow duration
- Medium: 50% Coco 50% Perlite in 3 gallon grow bags
- Technique: Top Feed (drip) hydroponic drain to waste (20 gallon nutrient reservoir, 10 gallon waste catch)
- Other Equipment: 435 CFM Centrifugal fan, 500 GPH Main electric pump, 120gph electric circulatory pump, Dual output air pump for oxygenation of nutrient solution, HM PH200 and EC200, 1000btu AC unit, Hydrometer/thermometer, soil moisture detector.
- Nutrients: Cutting Edge Solutions 3 part Micro, Grow and Bloom. Cutting Edge Solutions Uncle Johns Blend, MagAmped, SugarTree and G-Rex.
I will be comparing this grow to my previous EasyRyder grow in an effort to establish the effectiveness of the complete Cutting Edge Solutions Nutrient line. I was not satisfied with the Fox Farms Products I used in the Easy Ryder grow due to the amount of precipitate which would fall out of the nutrient solution shortly after mixing. The Foxfarm nutrient line did not show a strong ability to chelate, which is a highly desirable quality in nutrients for consistency purposes.
Given that this is an Autoflowering grow, I adhering to the Cutting Edge Solutions feeding schedule, although with a slightly altered timeline. I have included an image below which shows the nutrient mix I will be using and the period of time it will be used for. I only plan to vary from this schedule in the event that the plants show sensitivity to resilience to the nutrients.
Please Pull up a chair! I promise that this grow will be both entertaining and educational.
