Indoor My Nirvana Short Ryder grow

OK, so I started 2 seeds Same method. Only difference this time around, as I unsure of them germing I added a real light dose of Hormex. 1/4 teaspoon to 1 gallon water, and 2 drops of gh fluro, micro, and bloom. Great news, tap root, so game on. Strangely over night I have tap root poked out 1/8th inch or so, Last time took me 4 days. You guys must be sending some real loads of growing Karma. Thanks. If not I got mad skills, lmao.

I picked up a 4x4x7 tent, also a 4 ft 8 bulb SunBlaze T5 light with 8 6500K bulbs for veg. I also thinking of getting a 2ft x 2 ft x 3ft tall tent as well with 4 bulb fluro, this will be a seedling only tent, Its not needed now, but thinking future. The fluro may even be just a t-8 with proper bulbs, seedling require very little and t-8 I could place so close they touch no harm. Summer hits a fence is going up as well as a true grow shed. For now, I need all the space my old grow room in my pole barn took up.
Though, I may skip the fence this year and resort to some real old habits from my past. Something I am not fond of, but depends on cash flow. At moment, getting back to growing. Got a 600 watt in waiting for these little girls to grow up and get sexy.

At moment waiting on newest order of seeds to arrive, not saying what ordered, but will give a hint. Thinking a bit Different and deciding if I am going to scrog/sog lst. I may just grow all natural and tie off branches as needed.
Thats what I love about growing, So many different ways to grow, and so little time do them all. I wish I was able to possess 4k plants. I would run every system out there and every method possible. But alas a pipe dream.

As for the top drip setup. I am waiting till next month. I spent a little more then planned this month, and cc is getting a bit weak. But I swear I will post up as soon as I get back to it. Was a hard hit eating 200 bucks in pumps this month then deciding go all out like I did.

Just an partial of it. I had a 3/4 hole drilled and gromments added from 1/2 pipe. 2 air stones per bucket. At time of meltdown each bucket had its own pump feeding 3 gallons of nutes thru a 1/2 line, which was reduced to 1/4 inch. I was running open flow but had made a ring to rest just below the ht. I punched several holes in the hose and as said had planned to bury it around plant.
Top of bucket was cut with an 1/4 inch bit to fit the pump cord thru and 2 holes in net pumps 1/4 to pass feed hose and air line into/from bucket.
If I was going to add a res, I was going to place buckets above and allow gravity to return the nutes to bucket.

One thing noted, at start needed to flood 10 minutes for every 2.5 hrs, anything more plants were waterlogging. as plant grew it could have probably taken more feed times.

There nothing else say, Wrote a book as it is.

Time to go medicate and watch tap roots form, as the ups man makes deliveries.
Ok newest update and not much more to offer for a bit now.
 
Question first. How many of you auto growers tplant? I keep reading not to, so this was what I did for the day.

Update bought some 7 inch square pots, bag of Ocean Forest soil, and coco liner for the pots. I am not to happy with what I had for selection for soil but Ocean Forest was all that my 2 local stores had in stock. I filled the base of pot 3 inches up then layer of guano mixes then kelp. Back to Ocean Forest then coco / light warrior mix last 3 inches.. I had some light warrior around awhile, and time get it out of the tub and used.

I am debating which nute line I am going to run with this setup. Be a bit before any are needed though, so plenty of time.
Will post up pictures of babies when they hit the soil level.

A talk with the hydro store and they are going to warranty the pumps out for me. I will do that this coming fri. I had already placed my new clones in coco / light warrior mix, and dont feel need to break from it to bubble / drip at moment. Be my first soil grow in 2 years, seems odd returning to it a bit.
 
We are above soil. Damn will say these things are leggy. My tent is somewhere between manufacturer and here. So hopefully friday will be nirvana prop kit removal and fluro lights. At moment am 1/2 above soil. Last night we were 1/4 inch under. So hand on, strap in, ride is prepping.

To combat any heat malfunctions this time around I have a secret defense I will introduce later into the grow.

Now I first started this journal with a hey I am going to grow an auto, yay. No after the setback determination and mindset has changed. Now I am going to grow an auto come hell or high water.

View attachment 171995 I named em lazily, This is righty.

View attachment 171996 This is Lefty, almost named em willy for Willie Nelson as he is growing a bit sideways.

View attachment 171998 Heres the prop tool that was used till about 2 hrs ago. T-8s provide the lighting now. Yes is an old school fluro setup with proper veg bulbs. They are set to run 20 hrs.

View attachment 172000 A little bud a friend shared from a strain called Danny Travino. Great smoke, makes one really tired for sure.

Tent is pissing me off, Well not the tent, place I ordered from. It was supposed be here, i had a tracking number even. Appears a big mix up. Mine is still at the supplier. It ships out tommorrow. Promised get it friday. We shall see.

All I got, hope all enoyed.
 
Update spent 2 hrs talking to customer service, demanding money back. Well ok, lie, I spend 20 minutes talking, nearly 2 hrs it felt, listening to elevator music.

Im going to rant here, why is it companies feel the need to try to calm someone with bullshit music? Then inbetween have so many ads patting themselves on the back for nothing?
Seriously, you think I am not going get more pissed, listening to shit and bullshit, while I wait on hold to resolve my problem?
Now to cut corners they hire people not within the country you order from. The language barrier creates even more hold time, and more wasted time. Then they wonder why, You end up frustrated trying to explain issue you got? I don't get it.

They refunded I bought local, said screw internet, large companies, lies, and ups can kiss my ass, for what saved --- high blood pressure gained.

Ok rant over. Unto update

Lefty has her leaves fully developed on her top. I filled in the bottom of the pot to cover her stretching.
Righty started working on her trues and seems to have stalled. Hasn't moved a bit since. Not sue what her issue is. Not wet, not dry. First watering was 2 days ago and was so little given it shouldn't have caused a thing.

I cant take a picture but will add one later. Hoping I will gain access to a better camera as well.
 
Glad you got it sorted out. So what is the secret defense against heat? Inquiring minds wanna know.:cool:
 
Hi Scott thanks for dropping by.

To answer, at moment temps outside are -4 at night, 10 max day, so heat at moment is a concern towards not freezing. To combat that, I am awaiting 2 oscillating plug in heaters with remotes, digital display and thermostat for back up heating in case another furnace issue..

In summer I wont be running tent. I can legally grow outside. If I do decide stay indoors, I have central air on house. Will vent to my cold air intake from my furnace, and only need turn furnace fan on to push it out the furnaces exhaust. add a second vent from my duct off the central air for tent alone, or use a stand alone.

At moment with my t-5 all bulbs lit, and a clip on fan, I am at 78 deg f. With 4 lit, I am at 72. Humidity is a nice even 50%. Fan pushes air off a small bucket water. If I wanted more humidity need only larger fan, or fill with hot water.. As this tent is a test run just to get an idea on the short rider and a few other plants I wont be stacking much into tent. Matter fact am working on acquiring a bigger space to grow.
I had to consolidate a bit, my oldest needed a place to stay so had to take out a room.

Next month I do plan on adding more to prep everything for summer outdoors. This said, I am adding my filter, fans and such then, unless they grow 3 feet in 3 weeks..

For update, was to lazy snap a picture before left so I still owe 1. I also moved all photo's out so at moment lefty and righty are my only concern. Till seed order comes in.
 
A bit late on pictures, sorry been busy. Here is lefty. Righty went to a bud of mine. He begged try an auto I relented.

First feeding was 2 days ago, feed it 1/4 strength tiger bloom. Next week it will get the grow. I am seeing some light green but nothing be concerned on, as it is growing pretty decent. I may pop a few more seeds here in next couple weeks, and give her some friends. At moment just testing my seedling ability, been awhile since ran any. Get that way after cloning so long.

As seen I filled the pot a bit. Is ffof, with some guano filling the pot to that level. Stretching stopped and was time fill in so looked more natural.
 
Ok picture day is going be Thursdays here on out. but small update.

I popped a blue venom, another short rider for Lefty to have stable mates.

Sent seeds directly to moist soil fri late night. Sunday short rider busted thru the ground later in day then the venom, but has surpassed it in height and form by far, same day. Definitely leggy again. nearly twice the size in seedling height. same soil and setup.

I would take a picture but my phone is down, and new cam sucks worse then phone, so Thursday I will have some of them from phone still : (


For my notes, standing 2.5 inches off soil 3 inches of back fill. 3 weeks nearly. 5.5 inches total since popped above ground. May work for outdoor place looking at.
 
View attachment 179738Picture updates. I got 2 Northern lights running wth them as well as another short rider sprouted, and a blue venom.


View attachment 179737 Family pic. Definitely getting a bit more full in the veg tent. I have some more plants coming. The northern light bushes are going to get thinned down and be running some more clones off them once they settle into my grow set up.
