Hey, I'm new to the forums. I've been trolling around for a while before making a profile, and now I'm finally posting.

First, I want to thank everyone for the awesome help they have " given me" ( I searched pretty much everything up). This is my first time growing, using two seeds I got from a bag of weed and three LowRyder seeds. The two randoms were planted about a month ago, and the LowRyders were planted about a week and a half ago.

Please rate/comment/criticize my plants because I really want to learn how to do this properly!

Sorry about the poor quality of the photos as well, the camera on my iPhone can't handle the intensity from the lights :P

I am also thinking the smallest of the LowRyders that's put on the side of the pot isn't looking the greatest. I'm gonna transplant it when it gets a little bigger.

Less is more, flush with plain h2o, monthly, watch for bananas(male flower) on those randoms, and dont harvest to early! no date just get a microbud scope and let 50-70% of glands go milky from clear, this will give a good uppy buzz. Oh and only feed H2O week before harvest!View attachment 1236203

Thanks for the quick reply, Snickelfrits. The reason I put two of the LowRyders in the same pot is because of a lack of space in my closet. They'll be in their own pots pretty soon :)

Thanks man! What would be the easiest way to flush them where they're planted in pure soil? I really appreciate the quick replies guys!!

31 views and only 6 comments? :( Come on guys, what do you think so far? The biggest one has 8 nodes, and the second biggest has 6. I started sexing them both and I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

I'm using 5 gallon self-watering buckets ( They have a reservoir in the bottom, drains, and a wick that waters), and a 400w HID light my friend loaned me. Three and a half foot tall spiral fan oscillating on the babies at all times, and the temperature is about 32-33C.

I'm using Wal-Mart nutrients, one for veggin' and the other for flowering. Sparse with the nutes as well, half the recommended dose.

Actually I would have some Vermiculite, and Perlite in my mix minimum!! Pure soil does not allow for much air to roots or good drainage. But my first grows were in soil mixes, and when u flush just use a big tub or something and run a gallon of pure H2O through twice in 15 min. to remove salt buildup which will happen fo sho!! after the flush let them be for a couple days and start feeding again, the love the clense.

I would have Vermiculite and Perlite in my mixture but I can't get it this time of year where I live. Apparently it's out of season for us.

400w Metal-Halide and a 75w HPS. All the plants but one turned out male, and my cat ended up eating 3/4 of the female :( Doing a White Widow and Northern Lights that I got from Nirvana now ;)
