Lowryder 2 grow

Basic information
Ok so some basic information about my grow first i will be growing lowryder as i don't have much space, also it is autoflowering which is a plus, well i think it is anyway. I'll post in here even if my grow starts to go bad then maybe someone can learn from my mistakes, but i hope that doesn't happen!

Grow space.
For my grow space i have an old cabinet which measures 90cm high by 45cm wide by 40cm deep. I have painted the inside of it white as that was the cheapest option!

Lighting.
For my lighting i'm gonna use cfl's due to the small space and there cheaper. At the moment i have five 20watt cfl bulbs in my cabinet, which i'm hoping is going to be enough light for a couple of lowryders. (My cabinet isn't quiet light prove but i'm hoping that wont be a problem as i'm growing autoflowering and the cabinet is in my wardrbobe which is light proof.)

Air flow.
I have two 60mm pc fans at the bottom for intake (wired to old phone chargers.) And i pc ehaust fan at the top for my ehaust fan (wired to a 12volt adapter.) I don't have a carbon filter as i thought i would wait and see how bad the smell was when they start flowering, if i have to i guess i will make a diy one later on.

That will do for now! Oh and below are some photos of my current setup and a very bad diagram of my wiring at the minute. All comments and any advice welcome!

Update day 2 after planting.
Yesterday i planted my germanated seeds (in some avarage compost from the garden centre.) Two lowryder 2 seeds and one swiss mix seed which i got free with my lowryders. Planned on putting the swiss mix seed in the green house but some how i have got them muddled up so i don't know which one it is! Guess i will have to wait until i can pick my lowryders out.

No sign of them coming though the soil yet but then have had a few problems with temparture over the last 24hours. Just look at my temp and its at 80. Only have one of the intake fans working at the moment though, plan on fixing the other tomorrow so hopefully my temps will come down a bit when i have both fans working.

I gave them a little bit of water yesterday because the soil was looking really dry. (Tap water stood for 24 hours.) But after just checking the soil looks really dry again! I know your not really meant to water them at this stage, but what am i meant to do?! Maybe i should just give them a little bit of water later on any advice anyone?

Actually if it under 18/6 light circle or more ,it will b dry quite quick ,well that what l've notice with mine ,but i try not to feed them nothing and keep my (every 3 days routine) and they doing just fine. i guess if they got really thirsty ,they will show sign (keep an close eyes cause in what ive read the 1st 2 weeks is very important) .... but for newbi like us only time will tell loll

take a look at this i've been tryin to follow that guide and so far so gud

lowryder grow guide

will put some pic on 2morrow..

Gud luck and keep it green


LIVE AND LET LIVE

YOu are eventually going to need more lights than you have. The box looks pretty sweet. I would not worry about 80 degrees. My cabinet runs in the upper 80's and lowryder yields are pretty good so far at about 20 grams per plant. My Lowryder was pretty stinky after about 35 days so you will definitely need a filter. Good luck. Lowryder in soil is pretty hard to screw up, so you will get some smokeable bud. How much depends on how good your light is and how well you can vent off the heat. Ventilation is the key to a good cabinet grow!!!!!!!!!!!! Getting a shitload of light in a small space is easy, but venting off the heat while staying stealth is not.

Thanks for dropping in, Am i really gonna need more lights? Will i get any sort of yeild with the lights i have? Thanks.

Update day 4 after planting.
At last one of my seeds has popped out the soil, it still has the shell of the seed on though, was wondering if i just leave it or try take it off? The other 2 don't look too good though no sign of them poping though the soil. Temps still at 80, still havn't got my other intake fan working! Watered them eairlier as they looked like they needed it.

Here's some pics. (I will always put them in the same order so people know which plant is which.)
