Dr Feelgood's LED and Autoflower Grow

[Dr Feelgood]

Hi 420 mag I am starting this journal with the hopes to help growers in return for all the help I got on my first two grows.

A little background
I am on a mission to find the perfect set up for me this is my third grow
First grow was 250 watts of cfl and two Auto's. 1 Blue mystic (below) and 1Diesel Ryder

Only had one female out of 5 fem blue mystic seeds. It's a shame that has been my fave so far got 38 grams of great smoke off that plant.

2nd grow was 250 watt hps and 3 diesel ryder's, sorry no pics of that grow
had some heat issues due to no place to vent my air, just out of the tent back to ambient room air (without ac)

 

[Dr Feelgood]

So here's the current set up

Space is a DR80 grow tent with Sunleaves 200cfm inline fan attached to Phresh Carbon Filter

Lights 260 watt Led from our sponsor Hydroponics Hut

Strains All Auto's
1 Easy Ryder

 

[Dr Feelgood]

1 Northern Lights

1 Hindu Kush

All in 3 gallon pot with FFOF and Perlite
At 19 days above ground just fed first nutes today 1/4 strenght big bloom

For this grow i bought a Oakton PH2 Pen
and tap water was 7.6 after adding nutes was 6.7
my run off was 5.7 seems a low to me but never even checked on previous grows so let me know what ya think

I'm in. I've been waiting for an auto grow to be shown in a full grow set up(not cabinet style). Looking to see if these would be good for guerilla grows out in the bush. Can't wait I'm subscribed. Good luck.
How was the deisel ryder?? wanted to get those beans but they are always sold out.
I'm going to get a Cinderella grow going and maybe interbreed a male of cinderella with a Strawberry Cough and probably a sour deisel as well to shorten the flower time and bring the headiness up a bit.,;-) what do you think?

Hey Doc,

I'm really interested to see how the autos do under the LEDs. I am 14 days into my Lowryder2 cabinet grow using FFOF under 250w MH. Have your plants shown their sex yet? It's hard to see in your photos. I was amazed at how clearly the LR2s showed their sex at day 13. Please post more pics and keep us updated

Hey ilynnboy thanks for stoping by,

The Diesel was good had a strong odor during grow that got better after the cure. Really good smoke with acceptable potency, falls kinda short yieldwise. I'm with ya I think they would be perfect for a stealth gorilla style grow.They stay so short my tallest was 16" and they are so quick i bet you could do 3 harvests outdoors.

As far as breeding never done it myself. I would be very interested to see that cross, you should joulnal it.

Glad to have ya jcool

Still waitin on sex, my previous grows didn't show till day 20-25ish. 13 days thats fast! Will post more pics soon they blew up over night after feeding.
You should check out Soilguys grow SoilGuy's LED Indoor Soil Grow, Easy Ryder & Diesel Ryder he just finished an autoflower LED grow with great results.

on your grow

Here's the Easy at Day 12 of Flower, She is 16" tall

It's day 34 for the other ladies still no flowers. They both have female preflower just not forming any buds.

Hindu Kush

Northern Lights

All day 34

If the other 2 don't flower soon I might go 12/12, just not sure if it will effect the Easy Ryder. Any thoughts?

Doc,

Since those strains should flower on their own I'm not sure that changing the light cycle will induce flowering if the plants are not ready yet. I did a SLH plant that took over 3 weeks @ 12/12 before it started to flower so it all depends on the genetics of the strain.

If you do go to 12/12 it will likely reduce the yield of the ER as you will be cutting it's available grow time by 33%. I'm doing Easy Ryder2s in my setup right now and they are about 30 days into a 63 day lifecycle. Your ER likely has a similar timeline so you've got about 4 more weeks before it finishes. It may be worthwhile to keep waiting on the HK and NL, let the ER ripen, and then go from there. Your plants are healthy and growing so longer veg time will produce a higher yielding plant anyway.

jcool thanks for your bringing it into perspective, your right no harm in the extra veg time. I've only grown autoflowers so far and while I did have a problem with fem seeds being male I've never had any take >25 days to flower. So i will finish the ER and if the other ladies decide to flower thats great.

...and it will be SOOO much more fun to watch them grow while enjoying your Easy Ryder!

[Mr. Krip]

man, those fan leaves on the NL look HUGE!

 

[Dr Feelgood]

Hey 420 it's been awhile since my last update. I was running out of room in my tent so I gifted my NL to a friend. It finally started flowering after a week of 12/12 in his bloom room. The Hindu Kush is still veggin but I'm gonna hold it untill the Easy Ryder finishes then flip the switch. So here's some pics....

ER day 28 Bloom
