The Auto Berry Ryder is a hybrid of the Blueberry and Auto #1 cannabis strains. The Auto Berry Ryder variety combines the best of both strains. This particular type of marijuana produces fat indica leaves, and dense buds which exude a rich, sweet aroma similar to berries.
Cultivating the Auto Berry Ryder indoors is one of the ideal ways to grow this type of marijuana. The plant stays short, approximately 30 to 60cm tall in soil but can also become larger in hydroponic setups. When cultivated correctly, the Auto Berry Ryder can be ready in as little as 60 days from seed!

This grow journal will be following just one Auto Berry Ryder with the following setup:
- Grow tent – 3’ x 3’ x 6.5’
- Ventilation – 350 CFM inline exhaust pulling through a 16-inch carbon scrubber and a 36-inch oscillating tower fan
- Pot size – starting off in small starter pots, finishing in 3-gallon pots
- Medium – Organic potting soil
- Nutrient lie up – Complete Emerald Harvest (except the Study Stalk); Mammoth P microbes; milk and Epsom salts incorporated for organic CalMag
- Veg Lights – 5 x 24W T5 lamps (2 x 2700L, 3 x 6500K)
- Flower Lights – 300W GH, 300W Mars Hydro, and 150W HPS (deep red spectrum)
She was germinated last may 14th using the paper towel method on a germination heat pad. This single seed took two days to pop and break soil.
May 17th
In only 24 hours, she seems to have doubled in height and produced her first set of real leaves.
May 21st
It’s a little early but the lone Berry Ryder was repotted into a 3-gallon pot. Also used some humic acid rooting powder to assist in root development and the mix was amended with ¾ tablespoons of garden lime per gallon of soil. To top it all off, she was watered with some General Hydroponics Rapid Start at a mixture of 8 drops per 20 ounces of water.
Here she is 6 days from seed!
May 29th
Check her out 14 days from seed. She just formed her fourth node but she still needs to grow a bit before topping. She needs to grow bigger so that topping won’t damage the new growth.
June 3rd
Looks like she likes the outdoors. Here are a couple of photos of the Auto Berry Ryder while she soaks up some sun!
June 13th
Took her out for some sun again. As you can see, she has developed longer, bigger stems since the last update. She’s gotten significantly taller too.
June 25th
Here she is again. This time she is pictured in her protective metal frame. This serve to help even out her branches while giving her more support. She is 40 days old from seed in this photo.
June 29th
Decided she would do better in an outdoor setup from this point on. Here she is soaking up some morning sun.
July 7th
At 50 days old, she doesn’t seem to be showing signs of slowing down! She swelled up nicely
What a difference a few days can make!
July 17th
In just ten days, the Auto Berry Ryder’s buds became covered with more crystals. Most of them are cloudy to clear at this time but harvest season is surely right around the corner.
July 25th
Chopped down the Auto Berry Ryder. Didn’t get the target weight but hopefully her buds will more than make up for it in quantity. Got about 1.5 ounces of dry buds!

As you have just read, this grow journal started out as an indoor cultivation but was eventually moved outdoors.
There are many reasons why a grower would want to start cannabis indoors and just move them outdoors at a later time. Seedlings develop in a more controlled environment indoors and they are safe and sound from the cold in fall and winter.
During spring, the plants will be ready and excited to move outside so they can soak in the sun and fulfill their genetic potential.
What are the benefits of moving marijuana plants outdoors? The biggest advantage is the ability to make use of natural light.
When a grower familiarizes himself with the natural light cycles and their effects on marijuana plants, cannabis can be moved outdoors without any negative surprises!
If you are growing cannabis indoors and moving outdoors for more growth, you have to make sure that the daylight hours are long enough to allow the plants to veg some more.
For growers who are dealing with photoperiod plants, the best option is to wait until the end of June before transferring plants outdoors. At the end of June, the available daylight hours lengthen which means there is little risk for premature flowering when moving plants from an indoor 18/6 light schedule.
Another option would be to adjust the indoor lighting schedule right away to prepare the plants for the move outdoors. This means you start with an indoor grow but the light set up should mimic the daylight hours outside. If there are currently 14 hours of natural light per day, then set the indoor light schedule to a 14/10 cycle.
It’s tricky but when using the latter method, you will have to gradually adjust the indoor light duration every few days to keep the indoor and outdoor light cycles in sync. By the time you put your plants outside, they won’t feel the sudden difference in light duration nor show any negative effects.
Some people also veg indoors then move the plants outdoors for flowering. The same principles will apply but just remember to place the plants outside when daylight hours are short enough so the plants won’t undergo the tiresome process of re-vegging.
Have you seen the benefits of moving an indoor grow outdoors with your own eyes?
Happy growing!
