right so i startd growin my lowryder plants a few weeks ago (16th+17th of jan), they are 25+cm tall and keep getin bigger but their not filling out at all,like i mean a solid 14cm till the first leaves then another 9cm till the next leaves then another centimeter and its new growth..i want to know if this is normal or abnormal cas i really tink its to stalky.. by the way im using a 200watt incadecent wit a fan to keep it cool and im givin them about 750ml of water a day and there is 4 of them...advice would be handy and if previous growers of lowryder could give me details on wat they did and how much their harvest was would also help..thanks.;)

Ok my 2 c. Stop watering so much. wait for the soil to actually dry out before you water.

And throw that light bulb out to the street and watch it break.

Goto your local hardware store, or Home Depot. And spend 5 dollars on a single 23w Compact Fluorescent
6500k light bulb. Put it about 3 Inches above your plant.

That should do wonders for you compared to the incandescent.
Plus They save you alot on electric.

Incandescents do absolutely nothing good for growing weed, only provide warmth and they stretch stretch stretch.

Don't mean to hijack your thread but i have a question for the second post here. You said 1 23w 6500k light. 6500 is the lumens right? I have 2 26w lights that are 1750 lumens each, did i just get the wrong light or not the right amount of lumens? Not really sure. Thank you.

what soil are u using, it should only get 12 in my lowryder on was very compat and uniform, with the first braches only a few in from the soil line, but ive done more lowryder 2's and these are a little bit bushier with a max height of 14-16 in but with the first branches even lower than on 1. i dont no cms too well but sounds like u gota a strechty plant (probably due to light intensity) but it still should finish at 12 in . and i suggest u get : 1 . if u got bread get some hid bulbs hps or mh (i'vbe used both for lowryder and mh brings out some nice colors will hps will get those big nugs for ya) or 2. if ur a poor bastard gather up for some dank flouro tubes top of the tine t5s if u can or something like a shop light if u still wana eat,

You want a 2700k CFL bulb for growing a lowryder plant since it's autoflowering. Get a few of the highest wattage you can. Your incandescent bulb is useless.

How do you tell what the color temp is on a bulb like this? I saved the case that looks similar to this only difference is that i have a 26w. I'm just curious to where i can look to find what the color temp is displayed
