Aw hell, Im sorry-- I got my sub'd threads mixed up, Im watching 2 different Snow Ryders right now and I was treating it like I was talking to the other dude, so I'm sure it didnt make much sense to you. Thanks the reply though.
And yeah, I think you're right about the Pro Grow 180, I have thought real hard about buying exactly that.
Grow lookin good bro.

39 Days From Seed

LMAO.. I was a little confused by the post but its all good..

Just a note for my journal. Both girls were fed today 1/4 strength nutes of the foxfarm Trio. Solution was ph'd to 6.3. runoff was tested and it was right at 6.3 so far this grow has been going pretty well.. i guess we'll see here in the next couple days if the girls like the feeding Next will be a plain distilled watering..

WOW! The girls were definitely hungry.. bud-growth EXPLODED overnight.. Smell has increased on the smaller female but usually does after a good watering. Trichomes increased on both girls and the leaves are now reaching for the sky as opposed to being horizontal.. it is quite a noticeable difference..

Thanks man.. I have right about 30 days left if she finishes at 70 days. By the looks of things, she is progressing very quickly and should be done by then. For pics of the dresser, you can head on over to https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journals/426746-cfl-dresser-grow-stealth-auto.html to see. Its a bit different now as the intake/exhaust is configured differently but you get the idea from the pics. The new config works much better and 10 times quieter..

right on.. i was trying to look at your stealth speaker but im using a wii and it was just being stupid. wouldnt load pics yesterday. but hell yeah im gonna go check it out right.. im about to be moving and need to build a stealth dresser so in-laws wont find a tent setup in the basement haha

43 Days From Seed

Trichomes are increasing daily.. No signs of deficiency's as of yet.. Buds are fattening up and and hairs are starting to turn red on both girls. They seem to be at about the same stage in flowering which is awesome considering they are 2 different phenos.. The smaller female still smells amazing Here are some updated pics for you all..

Glad to have you aboard...

Quick Update.. Both are doing GREAT! Focus of Growth is mainly on buds at this point. Main cola's on both are getting fatter everyday. More hairs are turning red everyday and they are starting to look really nice. The camera doesn't do them justice.. LOL. she was watered yesterday with Plain Tap water, left out for 24 hours and ph'd to 6.3.. Run-Off was at 6.3.

48 Days From Seed

The larger female's newest leaves are showing lime green growth around the edges. I'm not sure if its from a few days ago when she got a little too close to the lights or a deficiency.. The smaller female is perfectly fine. I just watered on 2/11 so they will get a 1/2 strength nutes feeding in a couple of days. Hopefully that will be what the larger femae needs The buds are COVERED in trichs and under a microscope a majority of the top of the cola's are cloudy but down below, many trichs are still clear...

They are STINKING up the room! Had a friend over the other day and as soon as we walked into the room he said.. "DAMN! smells like some chronic up in here!" LOL.. i played it off like the good i had in my jar was what was smellin so good.. I have a fan i use for exhaust out my window when i smoke inside so I moved the grow dresser in front of there for now to exhaust the odor outside. Did a check outside and the smell is not strong enough to carry except for right in front of the fan outside. This is just temporary until i get my carbon scrubber.. COME ON TAX RETURN! LOL.. stupid delays! The exhaust fan on the window is just something i rigged up which is a 120mm PC Fan that spliced into a 12V power adapter. it pulls 70CFM and is low profile so you can't even see it out the window let alone hear it..

Really nice looking auto.U deff got a green thumb.Nice pics thanx for posting!!

50 DAYS FROM SEED!

Well we've reached the big 50! LOL.. Both girls are doing great and are about to get a feeding... Pictures do not do the buds justice! The pics are from a 5MP Captivate Android smartphone. The pics are decent but just don't represent what they really look like. I really tried to get some lighting in there with a solid background but just came out mediocre.. Waiting for our new camera to get here so I can take some real pics for you guys!

edit: Both Girls just got a feeding of 1/2 strength nutes ph'd to 6.3.. Runoff was 6.3 as well. The water was 3/4 a gallon of Distilled and 1/2 of a gallon of Tap Water.

You may have already stated this, but why didn't you try the Scrog again? Seemed like it was pretty damn succesful

Good question. This time around I wasn't so concerned with the yield or size of plant... Last grow, I was concerned because I knew that the Super Cali Haze was a larger AutoFlower and the size pot I would be using would be about 2 Gallons. The box I was using before was very small and headroom was a big issue. Scrogging was the only way I would have been able to grow it in that box. Also, being my first successful grow, I wanted to see what a regular non-scrog grow would be like. I was also hoping for 3 Females, not just 2. My next grow will be a photo period grow with 2 females in 3 gallon pots, SCROGGED with a PROGROW 180 in this same grow dresser. I'm upgrading the lighting to the ProGrow LED and the exhaust fan to a 115 cfm w/carbon filter in about 2 weeks. Still deciding on the Veg time but I'm hoping for at least 5 oz. Not sure which I'll be growing as I am limited to my selection but I'm hoping for my TGA Jack the Ripper to be a female as well as my AlphaKronik AlphaDawg.

51 Days From Seed

The Main Cola on both girls EXPLODED over the past 36 hours! No signs of nute burn They seriously fattened up and they look SO HEAVY up top now! I'm not seeing hardly any clear trichs up top. 50/50 ratio of clear/cloudy on the lower parts of these girls. 60 to 64 days I believe is the amount of time for this strain and I think it's really going to be done in about 10 to 14 days. No More nutes for these girls. Molasses feedings and plain distilled watering from here on out

SURPRISE SEEDLING!

So I decided to trim up the girls to get more light to the inner and lower buds. While doing this, I noticed something.. a little seedling on the edge of the larger females pot.. Fully sprouted and open.. At first I was like WTF??!! how the hell did a seed get there.. Then I realized what had happened.. i use my grow dresser to break up shit on.. don't have the luxury of smoking grade-A cannabis all day long so i have to smoke reggie. Anyhow.. i always leave seeds on top of the dresser and as i move it to check on the girls, the seeds fall off every now and again. LOL

Well, one must have fallen and it survived! this little seedling didn't get hardly any light as it was completely covered by foliage. i took the new seedling out and it was already touching the bottom of the pot!!!

i transplanted her into a 64oz Styrofoam cup w/ fresh FFOF soil and I poked holes in for drainage. The seedling was in great condition but i'm not sure if it'll survive. i had to physically pull her out as i didn't want to dig her up and damage my budding girls roots.. if you pulled the side of the pot to the side, you could see the root all the way down... it literally grew along the side of the pot.. it came out with the slightest of pulls and smoothly pulled out. i could see her fishbone like root system.. i put a humidity dome over it and raised it up to the lights a little closer. we'll see how it does. if it survives, I'll probably just grow it in that 64oz cup for fun..

New seedling has already shot up abot 1/2" overnight. leaves are getting bigger so I guess she's going to make it. I'm surprised she didn't burn up with the 1/2 nutes feeding I gave the girls a couple days ago.. guess the soil isn't so hot anymore..

Harvested at 61 Days From Seed!

This journal was already done but with the recent update and loss of data, harvest pics, dry pics, smoke report and such were lost. Here is a quick summary of all.

ShortStuff SnowRyder grown from 5 regular seeds gave me 2 females that smelled very different from each other but produced the same heavy hitting body high that lasted for hours. Neither was noticeably better than the other. They were grown under 126 watts of CFL. The LED you see was put in for about 12 hours before they were harvested.
















This was WaterCured Bud which was EXCELLENT! Not much smell until grinded up and only a small bit of taste. Got me HIGH AS HELL Tho!
