nice plant... i just have to say though that you should adjust your pH to get rid of the yellow all around the edges of your leaves. i would use distilled water from now on and go from there... also, it could be caused by too many nutrients... either way, i would look into that if i were you. otherwise, you have a really nice looking short rider! thanks for the pics!​

by the way, what is the humidity level in your grow space? keeping it enclosed with a little container filled with cold water should help bring the humidity back up if you are on a tight budget.and make sure you have good airflow in there as well...

looking gold way to go on the cfl grow! I have 4 going perpetual right now, just harvested one a couple days ago. Not sure if I'm drying/curing right but it still has that grassy smell :/ I will be following!

thanks, man! they are loving life right now. i built a cabinet just for these short riders and they extremely healthy. people say i use to many cfl's but i have multiple spectrum's and i keep the lights close so they stay bushy. i am really enjoying controlling every aspect of the grow in an enclosed area! they are really turning out well and also growing very quickly! i could not believe they flowered after just 17 days! anyway, i will post new pics in the morning, they are "sleeping" now for 3 more hours until the timer turns back on...​

I believe it's the nutrients making the leave tips a little bit yellow and I will be keeping a very close eye on this, she has just started flowering and I have just introduced my (biobizz bloom) flowering nutrient during watering at 1/4 strenght.... humidty is normally kept between 35 - 40% at all times which is decent enough ,,grow box temps vary from 75-80 degrees and ventillation is managed by a nice 9inch fan blowing cool air around grow area.. thanks for the advice anyway

I JUST sprayed them with pH balanced distilled before I took the pictures, that is why the leaves are heavy and look droopy, but they are healthier than a Clydesdale on growth hormones!

I took these with my digital camera instead of my phone. They are about 5mb a piece in size and pretty huge so you will have to click on them to see the full detail. Peace...

and also what pot sizes are you using for flowering currently? I recently had to transplant my SR,, I thought since its supposed to be small in height it would need a smaller than average pot... But no it quickly rootlocked the bottom of my pot that I thought was going to work for flowering! my SR is growing noticably taller and bigger everyday , I hardly believe it should be called 'Short' Rider anymore because this plant is not that short! Not that this is a bad thing for me , because the bigger this plant gets = more bud for the taking .. just find the name a bit misleading if you know what I mean
