Day 18 since seeds broke the soil
all 3 showed female preflowers on day 16

Lookin real nice for day 18. I have 3 lowryder x AK47's on day 5 under a 400 watt hps as well but they are lookin scrawny to me. Tall and skinny with what looks like to me not enough leaf growth. I was wondering how far away you keep your light and what are your temps. Also what light settings have you been using.

I'm using an air-tight fan-vented encloser w/2 pieces of glass w/air sealed between so my light temps aren't too bad. I've had my plants under 400w hps since they sprouted. first week the light was 4 ft above,then 2',now 18" above.17/7 lite cycle. my lite comes on @2:30am then from 7am-10am I put them n the texas sun on my patio,then back to the hps till 7:30pm. I have them sitting in front of a 2'box fan on high while they're in the sun.EVEN A LITTLE SUNLITE does wonders for these little boogers.
I did LST today.I'm @ day 20 & I have actual buds (not just pistils)popping everywhere. @ about the 4 node start topping everywhere you can.my biggest Lowryder has at least 18 bud sites.

Nice setup. If my light is too close do u think it will stunt growth I have been keeping it at 18 inches the whole time but there doesn't appear to be any burning they just seem to be stretching. I have seen many pictures of other lowryders from germination on up and mine don't seem to have the leaf growth that they should. I'm not quite sure what the problem is.

@about a week old Mine were about 24" to the light & my fan timer didnt turn on my lights fan. by the time I noticed It was 98F n my grow space. light had been on for 4 hrs w/no ventilation. Did nothing bad 2 my babies. my temps average between 80-84F under light 77-79F lights off.Ive got 3 going.1 is a ft tall maybe,1 is 8"& ive got a 4" tall bush.they all have the same amount of nodes & are budding.the small one has looked odd since day 1

Looks good. I ll follow that one.
Good luck there

heres more pix. day 25

been awhile since I've updated.......not that anyones been check'n. I've been reading around the forums about people having problems getn them to flower. All I can say is if your using cfls your never gonna get anywhere & If you have a HPS & ur lowryder2s dont explode w/buds you might want to try turning the light on. These things grow themselves on autopilot. Theyre idiot proof so if you cant get it.......
Heres day 36 w/17/7 lite cycle. ocean forest & tiger bloom 400w hps, tap water. BAM! THATS ALL U NEED!

I've now started a 3 smurfberrys,1 rocklock & bout2germ some sharksbreath. Did a little cloning experiment w/2 dif L2s.'THEY' say autos cant be cloned.'THEY' either never tried or don't have a clue.I cut clones when the lowryder2s preflowered.used rooting powder & FFOF soil. took 18 days 2 see any changes but they have tripled in size in 4 days. granted they wont get full size so I have dwarfs of dwarf plants.Will get some pics up of clones soon

5.5 oz dry off 3L2's. pix coming of my clones(that cant be done.lol)from cutting to harvest.

not much for typing,pix speak for themselves.
