lowryder 2 under 540watts t5 hydro

So guys if you wrote me a message and i never responded sorry. feel like a dick. didn't even know you could send messages. I just figured it out and will be all up to date hopefully by tonight. My computer is not working for some reason very well right now. this is the first time i've been able to use it in almost 2 days. had to use that system restore to make it work so somethings wrong. I got the LR2 put into full sized cubes and decided to buy the walmart wardrobe because its prebuilt. I ll build it with a 1 inch gap on one side and masking tape it from the inside. It sucks but when i move out i'll have a nice well walmart nice wardrobe. Got some lights and took pics. if the computer works when i get home from dinner i'll trust it to plug my sd card into. I'll keep in touch. Sorry for not seeing the messages. Please post some pics. Its been a long 2 days.....

My laptop is ruined. My setup is still going and I'll post pics. Bongmarley got your message. I've figured this out now. I'm on my moms computer and don't know when I'll be able to get back on here. I'll be back soon. Don't forget me!!! I'm going to get my laptop fixed right now. Good luck everyone

Got the computer back. Felt really weird without it for the last few days. But i'm all scared to go to any sites now. Got my plants put in their new home in the wardrobe. This thing is way bigger looking once its in your house. I now have 200 watts of t5 and by next weeks paycheck should have 540. These lowryder grow pretty fast. They are on their third set of leaves. I wish i would have known that these seeds were not meant to be grown in hydro. But its to late and theyre growing nice anyway. 57 more days! The 3 hempstar are budding like crazy. I tied them down to allow some light in and man what a difference. I gotta go to work but I'll post some nice pics tomorrow. I'd like to see fresh pics of that ak47 to please. I'm a few days behind on this site since losing the computer. Seeya

heres the LR2 in their new home in the wardrobe. I decided to only use one small cube for each plant. you can see the roots growing through.

some new pics of the hempstar mother plants i flowered. I had to tye them down to fit the box over them for their dark period. Yah thats how i get them in the dark. I get unlimited boxes of all different sizes so i use them to cover the plants. Hoping for maybe 40 grams each off of these. Wheres the Questions? I love questions. Amc keep me up to date on the AK47.

Nobodies posting anything! I want some other pics on my thread. Somebody add some autoflower pics or info or comments pleaseeeee!!!! More pics of my newly clean setup. The new lights are not hung yet and this is just for another hour or so until i make the hanging setup i want. I got the t5s yesterday. What do you guys think for a 2 by 4 foot grow would need for lighting with t5s? I am thinking at least 400 watts. The thread says 540 but thats before i decided to stack 1 grow on top of the other. Once i have seeds I'll place the midle shelf in and do 2 levels. At least 400 watts on each level. Or is 400 too much and maybe wasting? Like i said its 2 by 4 feet on each level. These lights are only 3/4 inch wide. I love them. They also take up no mounting depth really. And try holding a hps bulb while its on.

I call her number 1:



About 2 weeks old.

Nice slutty looking plant. Hopefully she'll be a fat slut that breaks the scale. I name my plants to sometimes. My smallest hempstar is little guy even though female. Actually i just thought of the fact that she was taken off her mother who is flowering right next to her. Might as well have left her attached to the mom. Well no , shes actually pretty big. hope to get an ounce off her. When are you going to flower her? Do you know its a female? write back

Wannabe keep us up to date. How did those plants recover? Let us know. with some pics if you can.

Hey there! Two of my hydro lowryders survived and the one in soil, of course is fine and progressing nicely. Found my camera's cable I'll be taking pics soon, just hope I can figure out how to post them, we'll see next weekend. I'll be happy to get your input.

hey guys, I also have a lowryder 2 grow, 6 in hydro in week 6. Any idea when I should flush these things? I am thinking it should be soon but don't wanna jump the gun. I will try to post pics here.

This is 4-5 weeks can't really remember, all planted the same time, we got that midget, it sprouted 2 weeks late??? it didn't germinate the same time as the other ones. 10 seeds, 1 dud, 3 males, 6 female.

All plants are at least double the size now, I will post more pics tommorrow. This is the only one I had. They are growing under a 400w mh, this 45w cfl is just for the pic, my cam was f-ing up under the mh for some reason.

Nice man. post as many as you can. Can't wait for mine to get bigger. the latest pics in my journal are of the LR2 after 8 days. they just sprouted on the 17. Good luck man. I'm gonna try a setup like the one in your pic one of these days. I heard that LR isn't really made for hydro but we'll prove them wrong. good luck man. use this journal as your journal if you want

Just new pics of them growing. Not much to report but thought i'd document it. These LRs grow crazy fast. day 9, today. I've seen some peoples picks of plants weeks old and only this size. Hopefully they yeild like they grow. I'm going to like watching the plants grow from start to finish on here when there done. They'll be twice the size tommorow probably.

they look good man but i tryed them
last year and didnt think the yeild was that great try a stain called the church

mitsub, start flushing now. You have about 2-3 weeks left right?

bobby226, the church is a great smoke!

I'll definately check out this church strain if I'm dissapointed. At this very moment I am going for absolute speed. One month earlier buds is alot of money saved and then i'll get some other strain. Maybe i'll try that church. I just want a decent amount of decent weed to last a long time. I figure I'm trying to do it perfect so it should be considered at least really good by lowryder terms. I also have 3 bushes flowering of hempstar that should finish at the same time. Apperently white widow is the most potent strain but i have had hempstar and white widow at the same time and found hempstar to actually have more chrystals and smell. Anyone else tried hempstar?

Ya i should have 2-3weeks left, I checked the trichomes today, and they are just starting to mushroom head, I would say about 25%. none are turning color yet, just starting to see some redhairs on the middle plant.

The midget is budding too..... it looks to be 2 weeks behind, gonna have to set up something to bud out that little guy while I am flushing the others. When should i flush....3 days then water till harvest was recommended on the bottle.

I also have 2, one worse than the other, that have stunted roots for some reason? Anyone know what that could be from?? they all get the same nutrients and everything and this plant has been a little yellow from the get go??

Oh yeah and that tall one, is a 19"er, and looks like a producer.... I can't wait to smoke her! Is it too late to seed a branch? We saved a male top.

I will post a lot more pics soon..... and of my whole set up, it seems to work good and it was cheap. These were just off my b-berry, and I didn't have my cam with me today.

1982Grower,
Those things are looking good. And your right, they are damn quick, should be able to sex very soon too.
