Alright Folks here goes nothin', 
My seeds from Nirvana have arrived after about 13 days from the day shipped. I ordered Short Rider Auto-flowering Feminized seeds x5. Nirvana Short Rider is a hybrid of the discontinued marijuana strains Top 44 and Early Special. Top 44 has long been a trade favorite because of its ability to produce commercially worthwhile amounts of strong, skunky buds in just 44 days of flowering. Even though Early Special itself lacks the same speed, its Siberian Cannabis Ruderalis genes give Short Rider the unique ability to "autoflower" - to flower independently of light cycles, like lowryder.
This really fits my needs, as i'll be moving in around twelve weeks, and i would really like to get a harvest under my belt before then. At $44.00 for five seeds including S&H it was a no brainer, especially after seeing this strain review right here at
short rider auto flower strain review
9-10 weeks seed to harvest? 40+g per plant? All feminized and everything.... I decided if i could pop them this last week (14-20) i would go ahead with it. Well, they came on the 18th so i got three of them in water as soon as possible. Three seeds so that in the future if want to propagate more seed of this auto strain i can pop the other two seeds, and spray one with colloidal silver 50ppm giving me female pollen. They all began to crack and show taproot this morning... So i popped them in the two three gallon pots i picked up yesterday, along with the one five gallon pot i already had. I also bought twelve dry quarts of organic potting mix; added to the recycled soil from my solo male to fill the two three gallon pots, and most of the five gallon pot.
I will be getting fox farm's organic trio in the next couple weeks, and for those who don't know i will be running a 700w mars II once they can take that much power. I plan to start them on 16/8, to decrease time until they show pistils, then i will switch to 12/12 for the remainder of the grow to encourage bigger buds. I read that autos flower based on how many hours theyre under light; so 24/0 will yield plants that finish fastest, where 12/12 will yield plants that are twice as big, but take longer to finish. It'll be starting pretty slow, but i will keep everyone updated! Cheers,

. Besides that, everything is great and i can tell my two gals' root systems are getting pretty robust (as they were planted in their final homes). I finally got my 700w marsII in there, and i'll order nutes on thursday. Fox farms grow big big bloom and tiger bloom for anyon who missed it. I will start at half strength based on week 4 of the feeding chart. Anyways, without further adue, bring on the ladies!
I will follow the journal. You have a good start.
