order one more light and it will be plenty,big pots will reward you greatly,get like a 2-3 gal pot,lowryders send there roots deep as hell

once they flower with 4 females you might want to put in another bulb with red spectrums never hurts eh?

Nothing much to report today. Theyre settling into their new pots nicely. This is them nearly at the end of their 7th day under the light. Most of them were up a day or two before they went under the light so Im counting this as day 9.

I think Im going to get a 125w red envirolight soon. Ive just been looking at 'Lowberry' seeds (Lowryder crossed with blueberry to give an autoflowering little blueberry cross) does anyone know anything about them? Any good? I like the autoflowering thing, I think its going to make things a lot easier.

By the way that little one is one of the Lowryders I said had died. It isnt quite dead so I wanted to give it a chance but its totally screwed up, I might as well chuck it, poor thing

Just a pic to show their growth so far!

Cheers Mr West, I was wondering if I should do that. What age do you do that at? I might attempt it on one or two, depending on how many girls I get

"Locate the very top of your plant and cut through the main stem just below the newest growth. This should be done after the 3rd or 4th leaf set but can be done at any time after the 3rd leaf set."

Mine are getting their 3rd set of leaves already so this is something I might have to think about pretty soon...

I got a 250 watt dual spectrum cfl and they went under that on Wed 6th Aug. Im using Miracle Grow compost which says it has nutrients for 3 months and Lowryders only take 60 days so I dont think Im going to add any more nutes, at least not for a couple of weeks - what do people think? So theyve been under the cfl for about 5 days with an 18/6 cycle (put them round the blue side for growing) and theyre doing great under it (I think!). They were quite uneven in size when they started but they seem to be catching up under the light. Ill put some of my pics on. Ive heard people use epsom salts to keep the soil PH down - when is this usually needed, is it a good idea?

Id really appreciate any helpful comments. Thanks!

Hi..I didn't read all the thread, but hers my 2 cents... IF and I say IF you're set on MG soil I wouldn't nute as you said, till flower if alls going well... epsom salts is for Mg.... dolomite lime mixed into soil or added to water will help maintain a neutral PH..I started using it this year and have only checked my PH once and all growing like mad..
vinegar ...down, baking soda ...up.... but after reading I might suggest a proper PH adjustment product... still reading up on that....
luck...
