easy ryder not flowering.

greetings all. lets start with a little intro. im growing in the uk(indoor grow).
box= 1.5 feet front to back 3 feet wide and 4 feet tall, lined with foil.
lights= 1x 125w blue cfl + 1x 250w red for flowering.
nutes=none( yep i did say that...... NONE) not sure this is a good thing???
soil= super bat mix ( not useing nutes as i was told i wouldnt need any useing this grow medium).
plants=easy ryder by JD
problem is they are both 21 days old but only one is showing pistols, one is about 2 ish inches tall(skinny runt i call it) the other is about 6 inches tall and really bushy but not showing sex yet. is this normal. been told by a couple of guys on here not to worry but as a nooby grower im starting to sweat as ive been assured they should both be showing sex by now. as a side note im also growing a ramdom bag seed as well. which as im not fussed if it grows or not ive lsted. not sure how the bag seed will like the red bulb but i intend to leave it in the same grow boxx as the easy ryders and just switch to 12/12 when and if the easy ryders harvest. hope ive not bored everyone.............. happy growing

oh p.s im allso using a normal bulb for extra heat in my box which is on a staggered timer. the heat lamp does come on even when blue bulb is off. i cant see this is the problem as one of the ER's are showing sex

Please be patient sir as the companies usually exaggerate and you should be patient and let them grow more and in a few weeks you will start to smile - patience is very important and lack of it causes numerous failings my seedbank seedlings are tiny but I still pray and have high hopes - post pictures of your plant here to make advice easier that is what I am doing I posted pictures of my small seedling and already members are helping me

 

[mrbeaver]

thanks GG. i will try and be more patient. Very very new to this site so im not sure how to add pics but i will work it out tomoz. once i have it sussed it i will post pics, ive taken pics of every day of the grow so far. i hope im not being sad by admitting that, but even at 21 days they are my babies.lol.

fabulous I would love to see 21 pictures one for every day as I am sure everyone else would - it is very informative to see the plant at each stage and they do grow in spurts, they should be your babies always as TLC and patience is going to reward you well, being patient also means a larger group - those looking for wuick bud usually get much less than those who let her grow fully before blossoming at just 3 weeks old sounds like they should be vegging under lots of light for a few more weeks Ryders are Autos so you can never overdo it on the light and they will still flower gorgeously - AMEN

I see a couple issues with your plan. You may find your bat mix is a bit hot for auto seedlings. Autos tend to be a bit nutrient sensitive, especially when they are young. Better with a lighter mix for seedlings, then the more potent mix once they are established. That could also be contributing to the delay in sexing. I've not heard of any issues with Easy Ryder not showing sex, so just give them a bit more time. The extra bulb you are using for heat could also be an issue. While autos aren't as sensitive to light leaks during lights off as photos are, you could still be running the risk of having your plants go hermie on you. Better if you use a small space heater instead of the light.

Also, mixing photos and autos in the same grow space can be problematic. Autos do best on a 20/4 light schedule. If you reduce the lights to 12/12 you will sacrifice a lot of yield from the autos. Best to either scrape the photo plant for now or remove it daily to a totally dark place after 12 hours.

Thx Muddy I just realised that my seeds are probably Auto although I cannot be sure so I have repotted them to weaken the Guana and used reverse osmosis water to pull the Guano tea out for the garden I will also change to the 20/4 schedule :thumbs: I am putting pictures of my first here
