Okay so my first lowryder #1 grow didnt turn out too well...it stayed super small and i was thinking because i only used 2700k lights the whole time and my lights weren't that close. (USING CFL'S BTW)

Anyways, this second go i used 6500k and its bigger than the first one, and its at day 18...supposedly it starts to flower automatically at day 20. I still have the 6500k lights plugged in and i just noticed 3-4 very small white hairs coming from the top...is it time to switch the lights from 6500k over to the 2700k bulbs?

Thanks

haha i agree! I thought it also meant it was about to flower though...at what day should i switch to the 2700k's?

i really dont know the first signs of flowering, smell is usually the first i notice. personally, when you switch it over i would give it 36 hrs of darkness. this will speed it up and really let it know fall is coming. but from that day switch the veg bulbs to the 2700k and use all throughout

They have an autoflowering forum on here. But IMO Lowryder #1 is a wretched strain. The one I grew was truly some shitty weed. There are many better autoflowering strains out there than Lowryder.

How many watts of light do u have, how far are the bulbs from the plants? I think a mixture of 2700k and 6500k would be best

cfls need to be really close to the plants, about 2-3 inches from them at least, with reflector, they need 18hrs or more light all the way

They are probably closer than 2 inches, and it has reflective material all the way around the case. My schedule is 18/6

Sounds good to me i would just give them time... if u are still having trouble it could be from something else...or maybe just a poor seed/strain
