Lowryder#2 Journal

[HiddenHammer]

what does it mean when i dont water 4 a while and notice my surface perlite is brownish nasty , is this normal or something bad ?

i be smokin on some triple AAA and mexican swag

 

[edcocks]

yeah i haven't uploaded updates nor pictures becuz of the lack of growth progress , i think it was because of poor ventilation (active intake 4in duct fan/ passive outtake 4 inch hole on top ) which contributed to 85-95 temps. so i got impateint and switch to bigger pots ( b4 root system was established in small seedling setups) and even moved to HPS (b4 sexing)


I fixed te problem and set up active outtake with a 6 inch duct fan on top where the 4in was . and i switched the guys back to the CFL , they r still tiny tiny . I went ahead and even added nute GH MaxiGrow mixed 1/2 strenght in a gallon of ozrka spring water

anyway when there r pics worth posting then they will get posted

poopskillets !

Yeh, they should be showing sex by now. At least the males. Don't worry though, Lowryders start really slow then they seem to explode toward the end. If you got your ventilation fixed you should see them hit puberty any day now.

 

[HiddenHammer]

i seriously doubt i will be seeing sexing soon, i know time wise i should but they are itty bitty

, i dont know what happen (except for the temp issue ) i'll get pics up later and you will see what i'm talkin about

i really do want sexing though (on the plants)

 

[REEFA]

what kind of lighting are you using, what is the out put of Lumens you may not have enough light.

 

[edcocks]

We need to see some pics to help you. It could be light, heat or watering issue at this point. I have 10 going right now that are 2 weeks old and they will show sex within a week. The growth has been astoundiing for Lowryder. It typically starts slow, but you may have some issues and we can help if we can see what's going on.

 

[HiddenHammer]

Hey guyz sorry for not updating ,( i got real depressed when i kept getting the temps at 90 - 100 and they just wouldn't grow)

but now one is thriving and i think i can save him, but i am takng him away from his original AG light and have the choice of moving him to a 8w Cool White floroscent tube or a 120V 60Hz 23W CFL bulb. he is tiny and not big yet

will post pics later

 

[edcocks]

I need to see a pic of your setup. Something is seriously wrong if you plants are tiny at this point. My Lowryders 25 days and they have declared sex and are gowing strong at about 6 inches and some seriously dense node distribution and budding. I'm sure we can help if you give some detail as to your conditions i.e. lighting, temps , ventilation, light cycle............

 

[HiddenHammer]

8w Cool White floroscent tube or a 120V 60Hz 23W CFL bulb

yeah the camera was destroyed in a fit of rage ( from plants not pregressing) but i will post some here later when the GF gets home from work

but which of those lights is better for my little 2" guy , right now im using both

(yeah i seriously think my problem was that i didn't wait for my plant to establish a root system beore i moved them to their big final pots, i couldnt tell thiugh because i had them in this seed tray and i couldnt tell how far root growth had gone

i got 3 LRs that i am puttin in today though - they just finish germinating this morning

2 in the AG and 1 in some soil
it seems that i was better growing hydroponically ,hence my previous 6 ft plant. and this will be my last attempt at a soil grow with the last of the LR seeds i have



oh yeah but please help with the light question , thanx

 

[HiddenHammer]

told you he was small, this is the same one from this journal.
it makes me sad

 

[edcocks]

I have 6 lowryders that are about the same age if those are the original plants of this thread. Mine are about 6 inches tall with extensive bud development and tight intranodal growth. You are doing something wrong. We can only help you if you give us details about your grow - Pot size, Soil, Nutes, Lights, Temps . Maybe we can help. Your plants need help

 

[HiddenHammer]

hey i know this is my LR thread but i wanna see pix of your babies edcock

and also just to update, my little guy it getting bigger but in his own little way,
and i have great news on my new guys , since i fixed the temps from 90-100 to 70-80 my newly planted seeds are growing really fast . my lastones took 3days to germinate and another 2 to break above to soil. these guys germinated and broke the soil/medium in 2 days and are lookin good .

will get pix when i get cam but this is my new grow
(and i'm not going to jinx it this time with a journal )

just updates

 

[edcocks]

Maybe in a few days, I am away from home. My Plants are phenominal and I don't mind showing off. Hope your new grow goes well now that the heat issue is taken care of.

 

[HiddenHammer]

guyz im going to finish off this thread with harvest pix (and curing questions)

the reason i havent been updating is becuse i feel i jinx the grow with documenting it, but my other LR2 babies are doing great

 

[HiddenHammer]

maybe it was the type of soil i got, the different light i used or whatever

but i know 1 thing , I am not doing soil again for along time

it seems that i drastically dwarf plants when growing

but here is the pic of the surviving plant from the beggining of this journal
i believe this one was righty

close-up

scale-shot

it really is a lowryder


HH

 

[Ruuperts]

Looks like a Nitrogen deffency to me.

 

[smppro]

I dont think soil is going to dwarf your plants, i had 2 lowryder that were only about 5 inch tall grown in the same conditions as the others 3 and those 3 were like 12 inchs, they just vary

 

[QueenBee]

Nice to see some pics from start to finish. Im growing some lowryder, hope mine finish bigger than that! I think maybe the pots were too small for too long. I heard Lowrder need big roots. Click on my link for my grow!

 

[HiddenHammer]

ok so here are the finishing harvest pics of my latest LR2 grow,
(i didnt do a journal becuz i felt i jinxed myself the last time doin one)

i am just so pround of myself, this is my first ever great harvest

this single lady was grown with the AeroGarden using the AG nutes and ozarka spring water - that's it nothing more or yeah and a 150w HPS

Let me know what you guys think
-give reps if you are growing with an AG and wanna give props-

thanks

 

[QueenBee]

Looks great, do you know how much it weighed? Have you got more on the go?!

 

[HiddenHammer]

37 grams of goodness, great lasting high
