    Anyone had a snowryder that is extremely sensitive to nutes? She's bigger than anything else I have near the same age (2 jems, another snowryder and an easy ryder) but seems to not tolerate the go juice at all. The past two times I've water with nutes, she burns like crazy but every other girl...

    Why do you say that? Last time I accidentally heat stressed a plant it stopped all vertical growth and just bushed out. It was an easyryder and finished less than 10" tall.

    I have a stubborn snowryder that has fought through LST and is still stretching upwards. what do you guys think about intentionally heat stressing her to get her stubborn bitch ass to settle down on a height? I still have my old CFL rubbermaid setup, so I think if I throw one of my 150w HPS'...

    You're making them stretch way too much hellbillie, of course they're not going to be netting you more than a zone per plant when they're using half of their energy to stretch for the light.

    1gamma, you're right. it is your total lack of knowledge. or your desire to waste your time ( i guess it's not a waste if you have nothing better to do with it ) trolling people online. go tell a True 10.5 drag racer there is no skill involved behind launching his 900-1200 hp car on DOT tires...

    XxK2, it's incredibly simple. When it's time to transplant just cut the bottom out of the cup and put it in the pot. You don't want to stress an AF plants root bundle at all during transplanting, and this eliminates that. It also gives the roots a bit more room before they bottom out in the...

    Cool, thanks JM. I've been looking at the Afghan Kush Ryders but have heard mixed reviews about the strain. Maybe i'll give em a shot. I'll be making a new order here in the near future because diesel ryder is back in stock so I'll pick up some AKR beans and let everybody know how they turn out.

    Mossy, When do you recommend harvesting PJ for maximum pain relief? (I've had seven knee surgeries from 20yrs of wrestling) I've been doing it at the 50/50 clear/cloudy mark, but am thinking about letting this one go for another week or so until I start seeing amber. Also, are there any...

    speaking of smelling when plants are about to show sex.. just opened my box to pull the girls out just before lights out to install the new HPS and that sweet-ish preflower smell punched me right in the face.. got to looking and my snowryder spit out about 9 pistils between yesterday and today...

    just got my new beans in. going to mix up my usual crops with some lowryder diesel and snowryder (have 2 of each germing in soil now w/ baggies over the pot) and picked up some of flash's auto purple mazar for comparison to PJ. I'm going to hold off on the PJ / auto mazar comparo until the...

    24/0 doesn't allow them any time to grow during dark periods. 20/4 is much better for your girls than 24/0.

    I've had some take a week or so and some take a few weeks, it depends on the strain, lighting and nutes.

    Just go to the hydro store and buy some rockwool cubes for 25 cents a piece instead of wasting your money on nirvanas starter kit. I just soak mine in a glass of water until they sink when tapped by my finger. Then I plant them in their final container with my soil mix right away. I get...

    I'm of the opinion that nutes that young can burn and cause lockout, I usually start with mine a week-10 days into flower at 1/3 dose and work up to 1/2 dosage, my little girls don't need much to thrive. (FFOF mixed 60/40 w/ perlite which makes it super light and tiger bloom only with calmg)...

    I've grown 4 mi5s all that auto'd, but I gave 2 to a buddy who has a 150 or 200 watt CFL setup in exchange for some computer parts and one of his didn't, he had to switch to 12/12 for 8 days to get it to flower after 6 weeks of veg.

    You are right. I ran 18/6 this summer and am now running 20/4 to keep the night time temps up a bit more and have a perpetual going. Most Autos have no problem vegging and flowering in any light from about 18/6 to 24/0.
