They will flower, but you will get a considerably smaller yield. Try for at least an 18/6 photoperiod. Some say 20/4 but I've tried and not seen any difference.
Not sure how tall they will get on 12/12.
Lowryder #2 Budshots...anyone can this?

sorry but doing this wont work,the seeds are not alligator eggs,there plants to be...predispose to one genetic set of life,raising and lowering temps will increase/decrease more/less males/females in the reptile world not the botany world...
.. agreed. My temps have been know to get out of control in the past and i never sprouted a single male from it, and not even ever had one hermi from it either(but it could). Point is, that it all comes down to genetics, not temps.

wow great shots nice to see something positive about these auto-flowers also what light you growing on?

Thanks man. I'm using two 65w, 6500k and one 42w, 3000k CFL's
I would love to do HPS, but it's just too damn hot. I will have to wait for the 400w HPS. I can't wait for that day man.
I can already tell this is most likely going to be some of the best green I have ever smoked. There are parts of the plants that look like they have been covred in sugar

. Just think.... 50,000 lumens!!!! Personally I like to run BOTH- veg for a bit with cfl's(awsome node spacing!) then kick on the high pressure love!

all you have to do is give the lr what it wants,give it ideal conditions and u will get ozs not grams. lr2 is on my top,bc its a quick seed to bud,pleasurable smoke,easy to manicure,do the right thing to the girls and they will give u a high weight ratio per size as compared to a non auto variety. the genetics of that strain is quite remarkable,something that could be fun to play with...

i want to know do you use bloom nutes or veg nutes if its an autoflower

Hail Satan
Putting a few bottles of frozen water in the room, will indeed lower the temps. I do it all the time.
Seriously tho, I hear what your saying about seed sex being predertimined. Have you seen any of the studies that the guys at Dutch Passion have done tho? I'm not saying they are right and you are wrong, its just they seem to have some sound findings, that are contrary to predisposition.
I wont bore you with the details, and if your happy to stick with your view, then thats fair enough. But if you do look into it I'd be interested to hear your views.

Good question Chuck.
I've only grown them in soil, my first lot I started in Bio Bizz All Mix, it is pretreated with nutes (mainly Nitrogen). They were not at all impressed with the nute content and misbehaved until I gave them a good flush, by this time I was at week 3 so I just started feeding them bloom nutes (lightly). I did'nt really have any problems after that they just took off.
Since then I start them in Light mix which is half the strength of the All Mix and they respond much better. I don't add any grow nutes at all, so the only Nitrogen they get is from the soil (pretreated) and what little is present in my bloom nutes.
So I would say very light Nitrogen for the first 3-4 weeks and just Bloom nutes thereafter.
Oh and the best I've seen mine do is with a couple of drops of Root Juice in the first few weeks, they love it and when used lightly it has increased my yield, not massively, but enough to notice the difference.

Trickky,
That's interesting that you didn't use much Nitrogen and had no problems. I'm still trying to figure out why I'm having so much yellowing. It's either pH nute lockout (my pH got to around 7.6 at times) or lack of N. However, I used a bloom fert that has N and worm casings, and the soil was pre-treated.
Weird...

Well to be honest mine were showing N deficiency from week 5 onwards, but thats ok I think, the thing is making sure your Flowering nutes have a little N in so they don't get to bad. The thing to remember is they are flowering from week3 so you want them to be yellowing by week 6 anyway. It's just getting the balance between acceptable yellowing and Full on Deficiency. As for the Ph 7.6 is probably gonna cause problems with N P and K so your fighting a losing battle trying to correct your nutes. Get the PH down to 6.5-6.8 and you should get better results. With all that said I think you have achieved a good result, when you take the ph and pot size into consideration. If you use 2-3 Gallon pots next time, and get the PH right, you should be looking at 1oz a plant at least.

where do you get your seeds from?

Your best bet would be to check RUI for anyone that has grown LR's in hydro, as I haven't. That said it should be the same principal as in soil. Light N feeding until 3-4 weeks then straight onto Bloom nutes. Just make sure there is a small amount of N in your Bloom nutes. Oh and in case I didn't mention it before, I have noticed Root stimulators work really well to keep em mean n green, and increase yield.
