SpiderKamenetzki Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Hello everybody, This thread will act as a grow diary for my two Star Ryders that I've just started alongside some of the Sweet Seeds autos. Since I didn't think it was appropriate to record my experiences with Dutch Passion plants in the Sweet Seeds forums and vice versa, I've decided to make this separate thread for them. So, first of all an enormous shout out and thank you to @@DutchPassionTony for very kindly providing me with the Star Ryder pips. I'm honoured to have been given an opportunity to grow these out for myself. Now, a quick run down of the equipment and media I will be using: Environment Budbox Large Grow Tent 5" SystemAir RVK (220m3/h) - extraction, first 2 weeks only 6" Ruck EtaLine (600m3/h) with carbon filter Media Plant Magic Soil Supreme 6 x 10 litre Air Pots Light 80cm Sunking Parabolic (silver) 1 x 125w Blue Spectrum CFL (weeks 1-2) 1 x 600w Dual Spectrum Sunmaster(weeks 3-5) 1 x 600w Osram Son-T-Plus (week 6+) I will be using the passive intake vents for this grow. A quick photo of all the nutrients and additives I'll be using to grow these ladies: Pre-grow On Friday the seeds were left to soak over night in water for 12 hours. The pots and soil were prepared, with a generous layer of granules added about two thirds of the way up each pot, and also a sprinkling more in the seed hole. At approximately midday on Saturday the seeds were placed into their pots. The tops of the pots were then covered in cling film and left in the tent with the radiator on. I will be back later with an update 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpiderKamenetzki Posted May 28, 2014 Author Share Posted May 28, 2014 This update is for DAY 2 which was yesterday. Once again Dutch Passion comes through with the goods as both Star Ryders had smashed their way through the surface of the soil when I awoke on Monday morning. Bad ass. Out of the 6 plants in the tent, they also seem the most healthy and vigorous. I can already tell I'm going to love these little ladies, they seem to have a 'no bullshit' attitude. Really impressed with the DP germination rate. I'm 8/8 so far with the ones I've grown. Not a lot else to say at the moment except all is well and going as planned! So... onto the pics. Star Ryder #1 Star Ryder #2 Next update will be at some point over the weekend. Stay tuned 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DutchPassionTony Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Enjoy the grow Spider, you should love the StarRyder it's one of our best selling auto's and we get great customer feedback on her. Here is a curious thing about StarRyder. Normally if I am taking a sly toke on my vaporiser the wife says she can't really smell it. Recently I got some StarRyder, 'That stuff stinks when you vaporise it' said the wife, who is right. It has a deep rich typical ganja smell and a strong solid stone 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpiderKamenetzki Posted May 29, 2014 Author Share Posted May 29, 2014 Thanks v much Tony, I'm looking forward to giving it a try. I have to say I preferred the stone from the 'newer' autos from the last grow (the AWW and the BAM) to the slightly older Think Different. I'm not sure why. Something about the highs for those two were a little nicer. I'm hoping the same is true of the Star Ryder, though I'm not worried as you personally recommended the AWW and SR in another thread, and the AWW definitely did not disappoint!

SpiderKamenetzki Posted June 3, 2014 Author Share Posted June 3, 2014 This update was for DAY 7 which was yesterday. So the girls have been alive for a week now, all is well, nothing really to report. They are definitely the most vigorous plants in the tent right now, noticeably larger than their Sweet counterparts as well. One of them got a bit top heavy and had flopped over when I opened up the tent, so she got a neck brace. Although she looks droopy in the picture below, she's all straightened up now. Still not had any need to water them, as there is plenty left in the pots. They probably won't need it again until the 2 week mark, when the dual spectrum bulb comes on. Anyway, here they are: Star Ryder #1 Star Ryder #2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpiderKamenetzki Posted June 10, 2014 Author Share Posted June 10, 2014 This update is for DAY 13, which was on Sunday Light: 600w Dual Spectrum Sunmaster @ 18/6 Temperature: 31C (Canopy) - 25C (Soil) - 22C (Dark period) Feed: 1ml per litre of OT Grow Additives: 0.5 per litre of both PM Bio-Silicon and Bio-Wetter So the first two weeks are over and out of the way, and while some of the other plants in the tent have been a little precocious in their behaviour, the Star Ryders are still continuing exactly as they have done since they emerged out the ground. Out of the 6 plants in the tent, the 2 Star Ryders are both the biggest at this point, with the thickest stems and the most vigorous growth. Nothing seems to bother these babies, they seem to just want to GROW! If they carry on like this for the full 12 weeks that I've allotted them, then I'll be a very happy man. Once again, great genetics on display from the DP autos, in fact this plant seems tighter than the Think Differents I grew last time round. I'd say so far they're on a par with the AutoWhite Widow and Blue AutoMazar, but then again it is still early days. The plants have had their first feed and seemed to have loved it. I've heard these girls get hungry quite quickly, so anyone with any feeding advice for this strain is welcome to comment and educate me further on this matter Star Ryder #1 Star Ryder #2 Next update for these ladies will be on Thursday (day 17) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DutchPassionTony Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 glad to hear they are behaving themselves spider. Most of the people that grow auto's in airpots seem to get solid results, keep it going Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpiderKamenetzki Posted June 12, 2014 Author Share Posted June 12, 2014 Thanks for the comments guys. Unfortunately I didn't have time to take pictures before I had to leave for Amsterdam, so no updates until Monday I'm afraid. Still, 3 days in Mecca, bring it on! Any recommendations of what to try? I'm a Sativa man, if I had to pick a side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
