08/27/2017 - Update Sorry there hasn't been an update in a while for this Purple Ryder Auto Grow Journal. Honestly, it's been a really weird and actually boring grow. So much for a 6-week seed to harvest grow. Hardly. This one picture will tell you how weird this grow is. The one on the...

08/11/2017 Nothing exciting happening. I think it's time to switch to flower feed. Below are the 2 girls taken side by side. Auto 1 (who was super robust, germinated a week early etc etc) is on the left and Auto 2, the one I thought wouldn't survive is on the right. Crazy difference. The...

08/07/2017 Another uneventful but strange update. So, it's been almost like 1 month and 2 weeks for these 2 Purple Ryder Autos since Germination. They are seriously starting to look like different strains. The feed out of the same reservoir, at the same time, in the same tent; pretty much all...

abadtrip , those are like the best invention ever.... or at least for me right now. They are called drip rings. I would say that the way it waters would be maybe a hybrid between a soaker hose and a drip emitter? Basically it's a flat plastic ring with small holes drilled at the bottom. It...

07/31/2017 Not much to update except that Purple Ryder Auto 1 is growing really different from Purple Ryder Auto 2. PR Auto 1 PR Auto Ryder 2 Not really sure what's up. But they are growing........ so that's good I suppose.

07/27/2017 - Grow Journal Update + some questions So, it was a crazy ass busy weekend. I finally got to harvest my C99!!! Have been ignoring these poor autos and letting grow all crazy wild. But <doing happy dance> ended up with 29 oz wet!!! Now not sure what it will be dry. But we'll...

Hi all, Not a question or anything, so I hope I can post this. But this weekend was a long weekend. I finally harvested my monster of a Cinderella 99 plant. Just 1 plant in a 3 gallon fabric pot growing in Coco Coir under some LED lights. It was a long process. Germinated in March 2017 and...

07/20/2017 Some defoliation:

07/20/2017 Nothing much has been going on since my last post. I just thought I post today because it's my reservoir change day. It's empty. So, I took some pictures. Girl number 1 has grown insanely wide and flat. Girl number 2 is lagging slightly behind. Auto 1 is 3 weeks & 1 day old...

Hey all, got an update for you guys on the microscope. I e-mailed the seller on ebay and there is an additional driver that makes the snap and zoom buttons work. They e-mailed me the driver and as far as I can see it was only for Windows. So, might be worthwhile to e-mail the seller and see...

Thanks guys, I'll have to find a Windows program then. Since none of your snap buttons work, I can assume it's just there for show. LOL. Thanks again. One picture I took a week ago it seems totally ready for flushing, and this picture, same bud area, now looks not so ready. Not sure if...

07/15/2017 Not much to update, except to say, not sure if I should be worried, about inter-nodal length being TOO SHORT? I thought you want a little bit of space for buds to form? I could be wrong? Maybe my lights are too close, but if they were, there's no signs of light burn...... maybe I...

07/14/2017 T-F**GIF!!!! PR Auto 1 is growing like crazy!! Slow poke 2 is doing ok. PR Auto 1 I find needs a lot more water than PR Auto 2, so I just have to regulate the valve to open bigger so they both get approximately the same amount of run off. Temps: 75 F RH: 51% Nutrient Mix still the...

07/12/2017 I am upping the feeding to 2x a day now. They seem to be just doing fine. Temps are around 75 F & RH at 55%. Same nutrient mix as I make a reservoir of it.

Sorry, been a little busy (lazy) lately. 07/10/2017 Started feeding with nutrient solution 1x a day. Was really tired that day and meant to make up a 0.25 strength solution but for some reason did 0.5 strength solution at 730 ppm & pH at 5.8. Dribbled about 1 mL of the following beneficial...
