wel lads, how,s all today. finally got me scrog screen made up, just have to fill the bitch now. 850mmx700mm. had to make it 700 wide to get through doors in case of emergency, i also got a 12v submersible pump so i can just pick up the whole lot and hide it in the middle of a field if need be, without distubing anything.

Hi Lads, so i harvested my lowryder 2 after 14 weeks from seed and i have to say, im really dissapointed overall :-( . I dryed it with a dehumidifier until i could snap the stems and managed to get only 8 grams from the plant. Obviously the terrible weather we had was a serious factor in this but not alone did i get only 8 grams, the quality of the smoke was poor at best. I rolled a joint packed to the gills with only a sprinkle of tobacco and i was only stoned for about 30 minutes MAX, the most i got out of it was when i smoked all the sugar leaves in a bottle bong in one go but that still only got me stoned for like an hour and i was only very stoned for about 15 minutes ...

My qeustion is, What do you guys think was the cause of this? would the bad weather affect the potency of the weed?

As it was my first grow i had very high hopes but now im left dissapointed, i'll have to invest more time in my OG Kush which is currently growing outdoors (not an outdoor plant i know but it was a free seed)

wellm if it was outside (and i`m no expert here) even at 14 weeks would the trich`s have turned far enough....

i mean its still fairly long days so would she not have needed a little more time, like growing with cfl`s, they work but take forever to get flowers and weight..

For a start outdoor plants tend to be less potent but with the poor yield i am guessing the weather wasent good enough, i grew a Lr2 under a 125w cfl and got over 2 oz's of great smoke, so the weather and maybe food would be my best bet as to why its low yield and not potent

Getting a 50 bag tomorrow at long last, been grinding up sticks left over just to keep me from going mad but its the tobacco thats giving me bad withdrawals as i dont smoke anything unless its got weed in it

WONT BE ABLE TO DO THAT BECAUSE ISINT THE WHOLE REASON JUST TO HAVE THE RES AT THE BOTTOM AND JUST ONE HOLE, sorry for caps, to stoned to go back and retype..lol..would it not be ok for both plants to share the whole crate.

Plus i have another Q, everyonce and awhile to you have tyo tip the excess water out of the ress because its dirty water???

No i didnt chop the bigger ones off. I think i am gonna just cave in and cut the afghan tomorrow night because i aint got cash to buy more smoke and think i will have run out by friday. gonna just let the bigbud go for another week odd....the right choice on which one to cut ?????

think you just flush with ph`d water jingle instead of tipping them...

one hole would still work the seperating could be done to the top of the res, at that point in 50litres i don`t think tangleing would be an issue, just as they grew down to it would be i think...

Why do i have to be taking the piss?

ah its just that you chopped an outdoor now at a guess is why bill thinks you messin... it is early for a cut down as the time isn`t really right to chop, like fruit outdoors you have to wait till there ready..


again just guess work...;)

Sannie has converted me to organic soil, ordered a 5 pack of sugar punch fems, got those and 2 freebie madshack and a free 20 pack of spongepots and bacto. Best thing about organic soil is the taste and you never need to measure ph or ec again. Keep er lit!

Sorry for the confusion lads i must of forgot to mention that it was autoflowering!! and i checked the tricks with a 100x microscope they were 50/50 amber/cloudy so i honestly cant figure out why the smoke was so shite

Haha ya im sure it was weed, what i mean by 15 minutes is that i was only STONED for 15 minutes but then id be a small bit stoned for another while ... it was as if i was smoking a shitty 50 bag, and i had high hopes for my homegrown .. i left it dry in a dark cupboard with a dehumidifier in it for about 5 days and smoked some and left some cure for about 2 weeks and it was still crap!

think you hit the nail on the head ...autoflower.. theres been some bad reports on the autos, bad genetics etc etc, but hey, you done one got some experience so the next is bound to be better and so on, wouldn`t give up just yet....;)

as for being not to potent.... same thing could be genetic could be anything just learn and go from there dude, we can`t all be like smokey and jump straight in to hydro and grow trees hahahahahaha.....
