Nirvana Short Rider?

I did Nirvana Short Rider in a PC Case for my first grow. It was auto, and it finished in about 65 days. I got the lanky pheno, so the yield was small, but everyone likes the smoke.

It gets me high, and that is all I can ask for, right?

I just started another and it germed and sprouted without any issues.

Yeah, I had a go at them last summer, wanted to do an outdoor grow. Ordered 50, but germ-rates were so-so (35 of 50), weren't overall impressed by their growth the first 20 days indoor, before transplanting outdoor. None made it, but last summer (in my part of the world) was very, very, very eh, bad. Very bad. So I think that bad weather would have wiped out anything. I've grown about 10 strains from Nirvana, and had a lot of different experiences, but more often than not good genes for cheap money.
Hope you all have much better success than I did with Short Rider!

good 2 see a thread on this subject.

i have had 5 going for the last 5weeks with fairly good results. they started to autoflower about a week ago. im using a MH 600 in a fairly compact space. i think this strain may be unstable due to the variation in plant sizes and leaf types. from what i have read it seems this is ideal for people with a lack of growing knowledge and space. so far i would recommend it.

thinking nxt i wil pack out a 1.2m tent with 16 and see how that goes...

has anyone got any pictures of their grow?

cheers

i gots 2 of them growin right now and they are NOT autoflowers, and they are NOT short, my 2 short riders are taller than any of my other plants. im goin to continue growin them but i just ordered some of nirvanas northern lights cuz they are good beginner plants and im kinda a beginner. (only 1 grow under my belt) all in all my short riders are very healthy plants, with big indica leaves, and they grow fairly quick. im in my 2nd week of flowering and over 1 night i went from having 3-6 hairs to 20-30 hairs. so that definetly impressed me. i would recomend this strain so far, but definetly dont expect it to autoflower.

do you don't have any grow journal... cuz i'm growing 2 short riders in a stealth PC case but my babies have 14 days so i cant say if they will be big or if they will adjust the space...

hi everybody once again!

today i bought a hygrometer finally, and when a put it inside the PC and waited a little bit and i read 35%. was very low, so i put a jar of water inside it, to night i will see how much i will read...

This night rained a lot and the some thing in my guerrilla spot, a don't know if they survived, but if they make it obviously they will gone to harvest without problems.

in my case what you recommend for me to do?
trimming, pruning, bending or LST?

of these 4 i only know what's LST. if anyone can tell me what if each one i appreciate.

Check out my logs. I just finished 1 and it was only about 2 feet tall and I have one finishing up that is a little over a foot. Easy to grow and take abuse. Here are a few pics. 1st is a nugget from the finished plant and 2-3 are about done.

I have grown two Short Riders in a PC case. They take abuse and finish quick. Smoke is nice -- my friends love it. However, my first plant was under 12 inches tall. For the second plant, I gave it a bigger pot (root space) and it hit the top of my PC Case and made a 90 degree angle and went down the side of the case in-between the lights -- probably near two feet tall. Turned out fine, though.

Nice strain IMO. 71 days from seed to harvest, got away with around 24.3 grams of some pretty dank smoke. Mine had a strong flowery smell once cured with that hint of old skool dank in the background. Nice head change off 2 or 3 hits right off the bat for us and a lasting stone.

I ordered 10 more reg short rider seeds to start outdoors as soon as they get here.

Doesn't stink to awful bad.
I used a pro soil mix with low nutes at first then up'd it as I went to full strength.
71 days from seed to harvest on my first, still awaiting my 2nd.
Finished product was nice, right at 24 grams on 1 plant
Nice Flavor and nice heady high for me. I like it.

I ordered 5 fem SR's 4/5 germed, 4/4 sprouted and they are now 9 days old and looking so far so good in 20/4 under my 400w hps in FFOF soil.

Is it necessary to switch to 12/12 for a few weeks cause i've heard of many people doing it with this strain?
