I think they will be off like ferrets up a drain-pipe..

Let us know how they smell too....
they look a bit evil.....should be tasty bud.

Cool thread man! Have any of you guys grown double diesel ryder by sagarmatha? I just started them like a week ago, and would like to have some feedback on them girls.. Looked all over the net didn't find shit on them.

nice to see an AF thread

i would like to share with u guys my progress so far with the AF..
i got 2 A fghan k ush R yders growin hydro.. its been about 45 days since they sprouted.. less than 3 weeks from today since preflowers appeared (3-4 weeks from start)..
last pic was taken today.. 1st pic a week ago as u can see buds are growing nicely (the 2 pics are of the same cola same plnt)

Many ppl complain about this strain AKR from WOS that it wont flower or whatever.. but it seems good with me so far.. flowered on time.. and my lights alwayz 20/4..

I am starting to think that the 10 seeds that I got are all from the same plant pair and those were runts. After seeing the pictures of some of the autos here, I know that there should be at least a couple of seeds in that many that "go big".

I think I saw someone mention that they had crossed some male auto into a female photo in hopes to produce a new auto strain. I am thinking of doing this if I get a male from my last two auto seeds. I have a couple of female photo plants going right now and a bud or two couple be pollinated.

budolskie....
woah..rewind...I missed a relevant piece of information....

ment to be auto blueberry fem i have already picked a male out when they preflowerd which looked differnt al the way from start

The Male may have been AF..they have a totally different growth pattern if you are growing them side by side..
that is probably why you thought he was different from the start.

Hmm...curiouser and curiouser....
I have a feeling one of the other Feral NON-AF AF's was feminised seed..
and also produced males...
Wonder if it is something going wrong in the feminising process...?

(But..then it should have shown up in the "test-patches"...it is not like it is a small % problem)

It is gonna Bug me now..

Have any of you guys grown double diesel ryder by sagarmatha?

Nope...
so that means that you have to put up a grow thread and show us how to get the best out of her...
you are a Pioneer...

li0n....Oh yes...I see the Afghan in her.....
is it the photo...
or is she carrying colour on the calyx's..down the bottom of the pistils..?

klmmicro .....I was told..."the only cross you regret is the one you Didn't make"
and it is true.
If you have to much going on to play with it..you can shelve it...
But..
I thoroughly recommend hybriding..it is addictive....

budolskie....
woah..rewind...I missed a relevant piece of information....


it was deffo a male they had all shown preflowers and u could see it was a male even by the pics in this bible heres a few pics when they were little
the first one is what is the female the second pic is off them when there were 10 plants the one just up from the bottle on left is what i believe was the male and the 3rd pic is the male on its own

What do u mean carrying colour sorry i didnt understand :s

kool auto thread..SUBED

budolskie..
I couldn't tell from the photos..
BUT..
IF you look at the male...
it is smaller than the surrounding Ladies...
Most males will be slightly Larger and faster growing than the girls..
so..
the Chances are..your male Was AF.

Nothing to worry about..I was just wondering if your Bud was Pure White..

On the overhead..she looks slightly pink..

Update :

II am a moron!! Been very busy recently and asked someone to top my resavoir up.....they didnt!!! checked last night and nearly dry. Plants suffered a bit. Few big leafs have gone very dry. Topped it up and they have come back today in no time. What should I do with the leafs that havegone dry/crispy? I presume they are doing nothing so cut them off? Really mad at myself!!!
Here is some pics. Still not growing tall

We All do it m8...

Once it is crisp..you might as well nip it off.

NOW you know why I said don't trim earlier...
if you hit trouble..like you have..
you still have a bit spare lung capacity.

Hearts like little Lions..I LOVE AF's.

supposably AF

That there is the problem...they are not AF.

and..

that is nothing to do with your growing..or your conditions.
Lots of people are having the same problems.

If I was you..I would go back to the people who sold you them and explain the problem.
They may offer alternate seed or some sort of explaination.

Take a bit of advice..don't go in Huffing and Chuffing..aggresive.
Just explain your problem.
Photo should do it...and your grow time without flower.

LOTS of people think that Seed Companies rip them off when something like this happens...
BUT...
IMO..
they don't.
(Unless they are a fly by night company..and They get found out pretty fast.)

From the seed company point of view...
when something like this happens
it smears their reputation..
they have to deal with all the complaints..
they lose the packaging/postage costs..
and they have to deal with all the refunds...

SO..
I don't think they do it on purpose.

If they are reputable...they will already spotted their mistake and may have a compensation scheme going.

Worth asking...

Shy Bairns get Nowt....

Whats this about people growing 12/12 from seed, does that work with autos.
In that case do you start out with flower spectrum lighting from seed? Or switch bulbs when it actually starts to flower?

Thanks

12/12 does work with autos as they finish by the calendar, not by photo period...BUT 12/12 will reduce yeild. I've grown autos for several seasons now and typically start them under 24/0 T5....after they show sex, I move them to a hps system where I usually have some "photo period" plants. Growing only for myself, I don't care if my yeild is smaller as yeild typically doesn't decrease potency.
IOW....autos do not require any specific lighting period...if they're true autos......recently, I've grown some autos that I had to FORCE into flower.....still ok but they're not TRUE autos....IMHO
Personally I prefer autos as they have a small footprint and sometimes grow a nice cola that my GF calls "BIG DICK"....love it when she talks like that!

BUT 12/12 will reduce yeild

Spot on.

I grow outdoor off season...sometimes down to 10 hours natural light
and I just work round the lower yield by planting more.
I Think it is worth the drop in yield to harvest Fresh bud year round.

I don't care if my yeild is smaller as yeild typically doesn't decrease potency.

I have wondered if small yields actually increase potency...
certainly my Cold/off-season grows seem to produce the Sweetest bud of the season.

Gotta try an incense pheno..if you are a med patient..
OR..
A RED pheno if you are a toker...

I've done a lot of Med research....
and they are The Two Viagra effect buds.....
for BOTH of you.....
(Increased circulation..Increased Nerve sensation....)

recently, I've grown some autos that I had to FORCE into flower.....still ok but they're not TRUE autos....IMHO

Would you mind mailing me the name of the cross.
I don't want to start naming the crosses or the seed banks on thread..
But..
I'm really interested in how many of these are getting out into the market...and WHY...

Has anyone had any luck with Sagamatha seeds? I just ordered some Star Ryders from them and plan on putting them in the ground early December.
