Here is the start of my EasyRyder grow. 10 Joint Dr. Fem. EasyRyders from seed to yield/smoke. Being a legal medical grow, I need to keep my numbers down, so I will be starting these a few weeks apart in sets of 5. I have a single 400W HPS, and will be adding a second 400W any day now. These will run 20/4 throughout.
I will be doing some experiments with soils, nutrients, and teas as I am searching for what will work best in my grows. Eventually I plan to use LC's mix#2 for my base, but I have some already purchased fox farm soils. So I will be using bits and pieces I have picked up from ICC, and from the moderators over at the organic soil threads. I consider these "experiments" only because they don't follow any of the recipes exactly.
The seeds sprouted and were put in starter pots on the 13th of Jan. in Happy Frog soil. I will transplant around day 15 into the 5 gallon pots.
To start, I will be doing 5 EasyRyders in 5 Gallon smart pots.
60% Fox Farm Ocean Forest
30% Fox Farm Happy Frog
10% perlite
2 tbs/gallon dolomite lime
I will be feeding always with a base tea bubbled for 24-36 hrs of:
5 gallons H20
1 heaping cup Earthworm castings (some teas will be with a fungal dominated EWC that has 'cooked' with 3 Tbs powdered baby oatmeal for a few days)
4 tbs Unsulphered blackstrap molasses (this was changed to 1TBS after bacterial blooms)
1 T of SP 90 Humic Acid
Starting at flowering, around day 17-21 I will feed every 3rd watering with the base tea and add
5 TBS Neptunes Harvest Fish/Seaweed 2-3-1
I will also be using a 1/2 cup of a 'special' food tea once in veg and once in mid flower that I purchased from the guys at http://www.simplici-tea.com/product_pagex.htm . This is a food mix that contains sulfate of potashmagnesia, feather meal, soymeal, cottonseed meal, mycorrhizal, kelp, and alfalfa meal. I may toss in small handfuls of this from time to time as well.
I will use this until day 65-70, and finish out with plain water for 10 days. I will harvest when trich's are 20%+ amber, and will do a smoke/smell and yield report when dried, and then again after 2-4 week cure.
All updates will include pictures, and will be regular. After I decide on the recipe for the 2nd set of 5, I will edit this first post. Any comments or opinions are welcome.
EDIT..
2nd set there will be 3, instead of 5. 3 more Easy Ryder.
These were sprouted and put into starter pots on the 26th of Jan.
They will end up in 5 gallon smart pots with:
60% (a 50/50 mix of FF Ocean Forest AND FF Happy frog)
30% perlite
10% earth worm castings
I have decided to feed these the same as the first set.
