Hey everyone! Welcome to Dooski's grow v2.0! Since I had great results last run and money has been tight I didnt really end up making any big changes besides the strain. Its like that old saying "If its not broke don't fix it" I tried germinating in root starter plugs instead of paper towels/rockwool and they worked wonderfully. My germination numbers last time were the only thing I was unhappy with. I stuck the seeds in on 1/16 and within 72 hours they popped out of the plugs. A day or two later I noticed one of them only had 1 starter leaf and she ended up lagging a little behind the other from then on. When they were about 5 days old I put them in the hydro setup. Because money was tight I tried running a smaller res at the start to save on nutes but that didnt work out well. Since the smaller res was uninsulated and temps were running high they started to develop some root problems after about a week. It took me a few days to catch on and when I did I moved them to the ice chest. After being in the ice chest for a few days they recovered nicely and began showing some big beautiful white roots. Since then they have been growing like crazy. They only got 52w of cfl up until they were moved to the ice chest, and 200w of hps since then. Also they have been and will stay on a 20-4 light cycle their entire life as recommended. If there is anything that anyone wants to know or that I left out please dont hesitate to ask. And thanks for checking out my grow!

World of Seeds Afghan Kush Ryder Autoflowering is a result of numerous experiments that had been carried out to create new, strong and potential marijuana strains. The famous seed of Afghan Kush was back crossed with a Ruderalis and gave a start to Afghan Kush Ryder. This 100% indica hybrid instantly became a favorite on international cannabis markets for her easy growing qualities and high narcotic abilities, some of which are incredible medical values. Afghan Kush marijuana strain has strong hashish smell so popular amongst marijuana smokers. Her hardwood sweet taste combined with a very narcotic effect (THC — 21.6%) makes her one of our bestsellers. Being a auto-flowering marijuana, Afghan Kush Ryder grows from a cannabis seed flower in response to age rather than light cycle. She will grow vegetative for approximately 14 days then enter into a rapid, almost violent flowering period. For the next 55 days, she will branch out profusely, throw out pistils in their thousands, calyxes will swell and a coating of resin glands will make the mature plant glisten as if dusted with fine cannabis diamonds. Being quite petite, Afghan Kush Ryder automatic remains a great yielder, producing as much as 150-200 gr. per m2 when grown indoors. The cross with a ruderalis also means that Afghan Kush Ryder cannabis seeds can be grown virtually anywhere with the high tolerance to such risks as mold and pests. Balconies, patios, window boxes, indoors or outdoors, this connoisseur grade seed is now attainable for every marijuana grower. With a lifespan of a mere 55 days from seed to harvest, it is not only possible to get an early harvest of high quality marijuana but multiple harvests per season. Growing Afghan Kush Ryder indoors recommends 20 hours of light daily throughout the cycle. She is happy to grow outdoors from as early as March with a harvest in May to return to a plant in June with a harvest in August. The increased height compared to earlier auto-flowering strains brings with it increased yield.

"Think Different" definitely has me thinking differently. Ive really never smoked an auto either and I will be sure and let you know what she's like. You may want to look into mixing autos because they like some crazy light cycles. On my nutes Ive always just went with the recommended dose on the bottle and have had good results. When I did a change the other day (transition/bloom phase) I put about 90ml of jj micro, 70ml of jj grow, 125ml of jj bloom, and 25ml of bloombastic in 32L of water. I currently have 2 4L bottles of water in the res taking up space to help save on nutes. I usually go 10 days between res changes. At the stage they are at now they will drink about 4L in 3 days so Im not adding any nutes to the top off at this point but once the intake increases a little more I will. Also switching out 3 frozen water bottles once a day keeps my res temps around 15-19c.
