[More Pics & Vids Comming Soon]This what i have so far.Ordering seeds from single seed so they should be on there way anytime!

Cool im doing shortryders too , im subbed +rep are you going with soil?

Withthebiscuit · Dec 4, 2010

My first grow was nirvana's short riders. A nice light like that ought to produce a thick cola. I wouldnt feed them for three weeks at least. The soil should have enough nutrients. Germinate your seed in a paper towel then plant it tap root down. In a few days it will pop out and you will have a seedling.

Short riders give off a plant smell, it's quite strong actually so plan for that. I grow tomatoes and jalapenos so i could explain away the smell.

I can never remember which light is for when, stoner moment. i dont want to screw you up by guessing.

thats for the heads up im thinking 2-3 expensive ionizers becase the carbon filter thing jus seem loud and etc
any nutrients you perfer to use?

justparanoid · Dec 4, 2010

Well i still use General hydroponics flora series. it's a three part kit which retails for around 34 dollars a kit. They last forever. Now some say you cant grow weed with GH, but i prove them wrong planting after planting. So judge for yourself.

There are plenty of great nutrients out these days, but basically all of the kits you will need have to include, grow,bloom and micro or whatever they call it. This way you have complete nutrition for the plants from seedling to budding.

I use 1/2 strength on all liquid nutrients, Start with clean water. the best you can get. distilled or ro/di I've had both and now use an electric distiller. Makes a gallon of nutrients, i treat that gallon with nutrients, which i measure with a syringe. I mix up the gallon according to an excel document i have. Then water as usual. Works on soil and hydro.
Granted i am a hydro grower, so I lean to liquid nutrients.

thinking about getting Recipe for Success Starter Fertilizer Kit for the nutrients after the 3rd week
hopefully a couple ionizers do the order its a closet grow so wouldn't be safe for an ozone generator

For Autos I recommend the HPS at 20/4 for best results.(in my opinion)

justparanoid · Dec 4, 2010

True that! That's a plan for a good crop!

Withthebiscuit · Dec 4, 2010

yea i was still debating if i should do 18/6 or 20/4 but im prob going to do the HPS for 20/4

justparanoid · Dec 4, 2010

Pour on the light, the plant will love you for it. I went 24/0 one grow but i truly believe the plants need rest each day. 4 hours of total darkness should do a short rider just fine.

tip for your organic fertilizer if liquid add a couple drops of essential oil (whatever scent) to reduce the pleasant organic odors.

NOT ENOUGH HOLES IN THAT BUCKET AND THEY ARENT BIG ENOUGH!!!!

Have you planted any? if not, please wait.

if so you should raise the buckets and start drilling some 1/2" holes in the bottom and around the bottom outside.

you wont be able to grow anything without good drainage.

the one with the rapid lines in them wasnt my idea #epicfail

justparanoid · Jan 5, 2011

heh someone got artsy with the lines. not sure what they were intending but get some more holes in there. I like to have a layer of rock then the dirt sitting on that for my potted plants.

Withthebiscuit · Jan 6, 2011

regular rocks like from outside?
