 short ryder 1000 watt grow

Sup fellas. Finally got my room together. I decided pop my autos for my first grosw under my new setup. Out of 10 seeds 9 made it. They're just over a week old and doing well. These are not feminised seeds. From what I gathered searching around on here I should be able to identify sex by their 3rd week. I've got a lot of fox farm nutes left over from my outdoor grow so I'm gonna be using up as much of it as I can for this grow.
Nutes will be grow big, big bloom, tiger bloom, microbe brew, kangaroots, and also their solubles....open sesame, beastie bloomz, cha-ching. Just using pro mix as a medium for now. I may transplant into ocean forest. Still undecided.
Here's how they look so far. Nothin too spectacular yet 
I can't wait to see how they like the 1000 watt hps.

transplant asap as to not contain those roots to much. with autos every bit of care is needed to get impressive results.

Thanks for the feedback. Would you suggest only transplanting once then? Maybe in 1 gallon pots?

only once. really what i would recommend is starting in a 5 gallon bucket from the beginning.
you could do 1 gallon buckets but you shouldn't underestimate low ryder roots just because they are small plants. especially under 1K
you probably wont have more then 6 females so you have plenty of room under that light for larger buckets.

Transplanted tonite. Didn't have time to get to the hydro store so I went with some white 5 gal buckets. I may wrap them with panda film as well. Light seems to penetrate them slightly.
Fired up my light tonite. Mounted my inline fan and then realized that I purchased the wrong size clamps for my ducting....soooo no ventilation for my ladys tonite. I should be able to get to home depot tomorrow. Anyway....here's a few pics. Nothing to crazy to look at.

State regulations. I can only flower 6 plants per patient. I will have to have one more good harvest before I pick up another patient. I'd say the most I'm comfortable squeezin in this room is 18. But we'll see how it goes.

Just a few pics. They've grown a bit in the past week. Still no signs of sex yet. the plants surrounding the buckets are skunkman's haze skunk mix.

Funny you should mention that. This strain wasn't as hungry as I had suspected. Dealing with a mild N over dose atm. Slight canoeing of the top fans....leaves are darker than they should be......tips of leaves curled downward a bit. I only fed @ 1100 ppm last night. Gave them a low dose of tiger bloom and open sesame with the veg nutes. Guess it's gonna be ph'd water only.... for a bit.

Yeah....I'm getting pretty anxious to see how many bitches i've got on my hands here. As for the skunks I'm just milf hunting. Gonna select the stockiest female and toss the rest. So they'll stay in those pots until I sex them.

No signs of sex yet. Which I think is mostly due to my carelessness. I hadn't hooked up my tri meter and kinda just said fuck it with the ph of my water. Now I'm paying for it. Dealing with some ph issues. They've still continued to grow quite ncely, but some of the leaves are curling / canoeing downward. I've been to lazy to flush, but tomorrow it's gotta happen. I'm pretty sure this ph imbalance has slowed them from showing sex. Here's a few pics.

I don't grow soil, but to me those plants just look really over watered to me. Doesn't really look like much else is a the problem.

I know right? I'm a little surprised/disappointed. I'm fairly certain of one male, but that's all so far. I remember reading somewhere that Nirvana had some issues with autos not flowering period or growing huge before they do. I'm hoping things will fall into place for me by the end of this week.

Lil update. Ripped out 3 males. Although I think I've really fucked myself this grow. I spaced it on adding perlite and lime to my promix. When I flushed the other day water barely drained outta the buckets....So now I'm also dealing with some very over watered plants. i'd REALLY like to mix some fresh soil and transplant, but I'm not sure how devistating it would be.
I could use some sound advice right about now. My lights turn on in a little over an hr so I'll load a pic or two later on.
I'm gonna post up some pics of my other ladies in the veg closet. Got some issues with my afgan haze 33 and og kush. New growth on the two is coming out very small...fan leaves appear skinny and the leaves are slightly clawed and folding down. I'm 99.99 % sure this is directly related to the ph of my medium.

They've only received two light feedings in their 5 weeks. I agree tho they are dark. I'm transplanting today into 7 gal square pots. Pics to come later on.

maybe the soil mix has lots of nitrogen in it.....it`s clear to me that you have nitrogen toxicity.....the wilting can come from that to, and also the leaves should feel brittle not soft
if those are the simptoms be shure that you are somehow overfeeding them with nitrogen

Soil is just promix. So nothing in the in the soil.
I'm hoping the leaf curling is due to the ph of the soil. Transplanted tonite into 7 gal square pots. I tested the ph of the medium before I transplanted...so at least I can be sure the ph of the soil will no longer be a factor.
I was surprised how easily they popped out of the buckets.

Thanks for droppin in Virtusvelox and welcome to the growery!
This isn't nearly the end for this grow log. As it turns out I am one of the un-lucky ones that got a batch of shortryders with unstable phenos. They are creepin towards week 7 and still haven't begun to flower. So this weekend the lights wil dropped down to 12/12.
The veg room is moving. The closet just isn't wide enough for me to get these girls as big as i'd like. I lst'd everything in the closet. I'll snap some pics tonite.

Hey FarmerJoe, I just saw this and figured I should point something out. You need to take a very careful look at the actual state MMJ bill. You should read the whole bill. Here it is. LD 1296.
In particular you need to look at the end of Page 5 pertaining to primary caregivers. It says the Primary caregiver can: B. Cultivate up to 6 mature marijuana plants each for up to 5 qualifying patients who have designated the primary caregiver to cultivate marijuana on the patient's behalf. A primary caregiver may not cultivate marijuana for a patient unless the patient has designated the primary caregiver for that purpose and the patient has not designated a registered dispensary to cultivate marijuana for the patient's medical use. In addition to the marijuana plants otherwise authorized under this paragraph, a primary caregiver may have mature marijuana plants in varying stages of processing or cultivation in order to ensure the primary caregiver is able to meet the needs of the primary caregiver's qualifying patients;
Pay close attention to the underlined part. Then go to the top of that bill and read through the definitions for mature marijuana plant.
It basically means that you can have as many plants as you want so long as they are not ready to harvest. Who is the one that determines whether or not they are ready to harvest? YOU DO!
In addition you can have to have up to 5 zips (10 for a patient) of "prepared marijuana". This is weed "that requires no further processing". So you can have your 5 zips ready to go but additionally you can have as much herb as you want on a "3 month cure". Helpful hint: Keep your meds meticulously labeled.
You know you want to do it, now jump. I can't wait to see what future grows have in store for you.

Thanks for the heads up on that greenthumb! I guess I'm a little confused with how that works. There are so many grey areas and contradictions with these new and ever changing laws.
The plant count thing I was told to be very careful of. I'm under the impression hat there has to be a clear indication that your plants are at various stages in flower. I will double check on that though. I'm a member of the mmcm.....the only state recognized non-profit trade organization for mmj. They work with dhhs and committee members to help smooth out some of these screwed up rules we gotta follow. I highly recommend you check out their page. Mmcmonline.org......they also have a forum, but it's a few months old so traffic is suuuuper slow.
Good news is I picked up another patient. she's low usage.....like a half oz a month....soooo I'm kinda torn on where to re invest my money. I'd love to pick up another ballast and reflector....but I also need to build a new veg room in my basement.
So it's either pick up some led's for the new veg room......or stick with the t5's and pick up
another ballast and reflector. Decisions decisions!
P.s. I'm watching your grow closely! It's coming along quite well.  How many ladies do you have under those two lights anyway? A few more weeks and that rooms gonna be all

The laws here are definitely confusing and vague. I don't think there has to be a clear indication that your plants are in different stages other than keeping them labeled. If you had 6 plants in week 9 and 6 in week 8 then there wouldn't be too much difference between the two. Let me know if you hear any differently. That is very important info.
I do know that if you have any amount over the allowed "prepared marijuana" you can GIVE it to another MMJ patient or GIVE it to the dispensary. You CANNOT get anything in return for it which is fine with me. It feels good to help the less fortunate get good medicine.
I'm not sure how many plants I have in there now. That's a good question. I started with a little over 30 but I've given up on some stragglers. I'll get back to you on that.
I just made my first seed order during Attitude's Lucky 7 promo. I made two orders so I should get quite a selection. I'm going to start some mothers and get to cloning so I'm in the process of making a DIY cloner. My end goal is to upgrade to 4000W flower and 1000W veg rooms but I'll probably have to move before that happens.
Your girls look great. Seems like the T5 is doing its job well. I'd go with another ballast and reflector is I was in your shoes. Once you have it set up you won't have trouble figuring out how to fill it.

Snapped some pics.
   
I love low stress training. Sitting down and chillin with my plants for an hr or so is incredibly relaxing after a long day.
 
Made some bubble hash the other day. It's pretty good. Not my best though. Autos are doing ok. Flippin the lights to 12/12 today or tomorrow. EDIT : obviously they're not doing so good. They didn't AUTOFLOWER!!! Just thought I'd throw that in here. Prob never ordering autos again.
Building a new veg room after I finish this post. The current veg closet is now going to be where I'll scrog or run a small sog. New 1000 watt light coming soon I think!

I've clearly got some health issues. On two of the plants the fans are yellowing big time since the flip. Much more than they should be. Newer growth is still green though.
This indoor grow has been quite a humbling experience for me. I have so much more to learn. 
Picking up another reflector and ballast. Hopefully this week. Prob same as what I'm running (magnum xxxl w/ 1000 watt lumatek ballast). I'm also gonna grab an 8 bulb t5 setup for the veg room and a 25 site Aero cloner by botanicare.
So I'll be moving up a few plants up stairs in a bit. I get to play with some better nutes....kinda excited.
Strains will be
- L.A. Confidential
- Blueberry
- Afgan Haze
- OG Kush
- Blue Widow
- Red Dragon

Ripped some hermies. Snapped some pics with my cell....sorry for the poor quality. Got 2 ladies left that haven't hermed. They'll be done in a little over a week. Good news is I've almost washed my hands of these bullshit autos. They've been nothing but a thorn in my side from the start
I picked up another magnum hood w/ a 1000 watt lumatek ballast. So the new grow will be 2k watts...12 strains...w/ advanced nutrients. Can't wait for this one! Already have 9 new ladies up in the flower room
