Re: Deiselryder grow

What kind of soil are you using?

Re: Deiselryder grow

you shouldnt be feeding them this early mate ive been growing alot of autoflowers over the last couple of months and they are really sensitive to nutes i would wait till your at at least 3 week then start quater strength and work your way up

 

[KFeezy]

Re: Deiselryder grow

I used Miracle Grow Moisture Control Potting Mix
And i had heard mixed things about feeding them this early but i will start giving them just ph balanced tap water

Re: Deiselryder grow

First of all miracle grow is notorious for containing a shit load of ferts allready usually slow releasing, in which case you definetly need to watch your feeding its sometimes to hot without adding any nutes.

Stop feeding flush em out with water and remain giving just water untill at least 3/4 weeks wait until they look like they need it.

Im growing diesel ryder now ive done it a few times check out my grow i dont even give em any veg nutes i wait untill i get some preflowers and start then with 1/4 strength nutes i never get to full strength as i only feed once every 3 days.

Just my input mate, at least the other 2 look great good luck pal! Whats happening with the one in rockwool? I use ionic with my dwc system thats why i ask wondered what hydro setup ur going to use.

Peace

Re: Deiselryder grow

GG is absolutely right. MG soil is terrible for growing MJ. As GG said, you should just give them water. For your next grow, I would suggest going with some organic soil such as Fox Farm, or you can always make your own mix of organic compost, coco, perlite, etc.

Re: Deiselryder grow

I am currently growing a monster of a diesel ryder in a cupboard in MG potting soil. I know that people worry about the amount of fertalisers but in my fairly limited experience, diesel ryder seems to be quite tolerant to the nutrients. I know its not the best but dont kill them in your haste to move them! These do grow really easy in soil and I'd highly recommend it if you dont want too much hassle

happy growing

Re: Deiselryder grow

Good News the one that was struggling in the soil has recovered almost completely and is looking alot better. The one that was looking good in the soil is doing even better now.The fourth and fifth sets of leaves are starting to come in very small and it is pulling ahead of the rest. The bad news is that the one in rock-wool isn't looking so good now. The seedling leaves have began to turn yellow. I will most likely post some pics of all of them within the next few hours. Although the other one recovered i still flushed them out tonight and will keep giving them ph balanced tap water. We are already 9 days in and things are going much better than i could've predicted

Re: Deiselryder grow

I thought i would post an update on all of the babies thus far
So first out is the one who is doing the best who i will proly just name S1. she seems to be pulling ahead of the rest. she is working on her 4th and 5th set of leaves.

Next is S2 who was struggling a few days ago and has since almost completely recovered. thanks to multiple people help who i am greatly appreciative of.

And rounding out the group is the now problem child RW1. She pulled ahead of the rest in the early stages of the game but has since halted growth and i dont know why. I have heard that Rock-wool can change the ph once you add water since it has certain solvents in it. I soaked the big cube for about 20 min before transferring. so i dont think that would be the problem but as you can see the bottom leaves are turning yellow and it is much further behind than the rest. i have no experience in hydro and any help would be awesome.

And then just to round out the post i thought i would post a group shot along with some grow specs.

Soil: Miracle Grow Moisture Control Potting Mix
Water: tap water with and approximate 6.0 ph (using liquid tester so cant be exact.)
Strain: Lowryder deisel
Lighting: 400w HPS about 4ft above the plants
Cycle: 18/6

Re: Deiselryder grow

Can you add any 6500K CFL's to that setup? You can use HPS for vegging but you will get far better results if you use 6500K light combined with SOME 2700K light. CFL's or MH lights would do. You can use your existing HPS and just add some 6500K CFL's.

Re: Deiselryder grow

You think the type of light maybe affecting the one in rockwool and not the others?

 

[HempRocket]

Re: Deiselryder grow

No, I was just talking in general. Most people don't use HPS for vegging because it doesn't provide enough blue light.
I'm going to venture a guess and say it's nute burn.

Re: Deiselryder grow

I am taking some pictures and should have them up later tonight. S1 is thriving past the rest and the RW1 seems to be showing signs of improvement. The leaves arent saggy anymore and it is showing new growth. Although the seedling leaves are still yellow it seems to be starting to turn around.

 

[KFeezy]

Re: Deiselryder grow

sorry for the delays guys i have some pics here from the 25th of jan and will take some new ones today
First off a group shot

S1 is looking good and continuing too look very strong

And then S2 who is still looking good and trying to keep up with the big girl

And then The little girl she is still looking rough in this pic but is continuing to improve through today

Since these pics all of the babies have gotten considerably larger. We have transplanted the two big girls into 3 gal pots and taken the little one out of the rock-wool to find that it was unable to penetrate the larger block with its roots. Any ideas why? But since we have put her in soil she has show great improvements.

Re: Deiselryder grow

Now for the pics from today(day 25).
First of is the little girl she seems to being pulling out everyday more and more. Growth still seems very slow but its has sped up since putting her in soil.

Next is S2 who we thought was gonna die in the begining but now is flourishing.

and then the front runner S1

Then just as a side job we are doing peppers right along side.

Re: Deiselryder grow

Are you budding them already or does that one top just look like a bud.

Re: Deiselryder Grow

So here i am almost 8 weeks into my lowryder grow and a few updates are in order. First off we have recieved 7more seeds from worldwide seed co:
2 Afgan Kush Ryder
2 Speeddevil
1 Veritgo
1 Fruity Chronic juice
1 Diablo II
All of which are planted in our room and about 2-3 inches tall. I will take some pics tonight and proly put them up tomorrow. Second off our three originals are looking very good. 2 of which are appearing to be harvest ready in a week or so. and the other not far behind.
But unfortunately i have encountered my first big problem. When i bought the larger bags of MG moisture control soil it had alot of clumps in the soil and wasnt as fine as the smaller bags. When i planted the new ones in the soil it appeared to be good for the first fefw days. Then the soild began to show mold on the surface. anyone have experience with this if so please any advice would help greatly
