Just read through your thread. Sucks about the LED's. That's wierd that those are taking so long, even with the stress. In my grows with LR2 they showed sex between 15-20 days. It's good that you changed your light schedule to 18/6 too, as it's recommended by the creator of LR. Here is the grow guide from the creator (the joint doctor)... lowryder grow guide . Hope it helps, and good luck...

Day 40...Going nuts...

No more sprouting any beans! It's too much, I hope half of them are males! I think I'll take some to live in the parkland.

Planted white widow sprouts yesterday. Got some perlite into some different potting mix - everyone keeps saying things about this so okay.

Flushed the nute burned one with heaps of water yesterday.

Also gave the healthiest one a little bit of granule fertilizer shaken in water.

Don't think the timer on the light worked properly, they were in darkness for most of the night I think.



2 1/2 day old lowryder sprouts. I haven't done anything wrong yet! So everything is on track.



White widows have been planted.



There originals, day 40...

Gone....NOoooo! I'm trying to hang in there.

New sprouts are growing though. I have a backup plan.

I think there's a problem. I look at other people's sprouts. After a week they are so much more developed than mine. What the heck am I doing wrong?

The only thing I could think of is lack of air movement. Would a fan make so much of a difference?

5 day old lowryder #2 sprouts. Why are they so slow? Other's I have seen are so much more developed by now.

My other bigger plants are similarly slow.

(under 250w hps)

Day 43...

Timer has been having trouble, they were in darkness for 12 hours 2 days in a row then constant 24 hour light for the next. I'll play around with it again today then maybe get a new one.

Not that much growth in 3 days...









The next one is starting to go a little yellow. It was the healthiest.



The next has picked up a bit, I didn't give this one any fertilizer.

Oh well, no lowryder. Packet was messed up then.

Either way, I'm still struggling with those ones. A few weeks veg will have 2inch plants at this rate. Gonna work on things today, fix the timer, get a fan, measure ph, etc.

You're not fertilizing those little LR's are you? LR's don't like many nutes, and they especially don't like them until about 3 weeks old.

No, I'm leaving them alone. I read that guide, trying to do what it said. Except 18/6 timing - my timer is stupid. I'll test it soon.

I tried to get a small fan today - no where sells them locally. Wrong season, I don't need a heater.

pH is 6.7-6.8

Temps - Approx 19C (66F)

I'm sort of happy - there are too many plants in the shed right now! Maybe this one can live outside in the garden - it will be interesting to see how it grows compared to the other ones.

I don't see any pollen sacks...That thing I circled looks like a new leaf to me. Unless you're talking about something else. Is that what it is wouldnot?

No, there's a new leaf forming just behind that circled bit. I can just see it - in real life, not in the pic.
