Hi, am pretty new to all this [got some feminized whitewidows which are not germinating], in the meantime here's my Lowryder [from jointdoctors].


It has managed to germinate, and its now 48 hrs since it showed its head on the surface. I have 5 x 23W cool daylight CFL available (and 5x23W warm white), but currently am using only 1 of those cool daylight cfls (Because am afraid that the plant might die from the heat of all those cfls at once from such an early age [please advise me what to do on that, should i light it up all? (i have 1 PC fan for air intake and another for air outake, but its off since i figured out its not that hot in there)]).


Another question, should i diminish the light cycle to around 16hours daily instead of 24hrs (just in case 24hrs is not giving the plant any chance to rest).


Thanks for any help.

you have to act fast-you dont want those fuckers(probably spidermites) expanding to other plant parts-use some bug spray but be sure it can be used to other food plants as well-ya dont want no hardcore chemicals int you plant, because after you smoke that bud it can give you a serious headhedge!!!!
keep up the good work.........

hmm.. i acted a bit too fast i tihnk, i shud i seeked some mite killers instead of using household bugkiller spray, the plant seem really.... unhealthy, the stem has shrinked.

Probably its going to die.

Anywayz, i guess that\s the end of my lowryder. I've set a whitewidow to germinate, i wonder why i can't get past this germination phase with whitewidows.got only 3 white widows seeds remaining, the only lowryder i had is dead. hope this one germinates.

YUPEEE Miracle coming back to life!!!!

Yesterday it was already dropped to the ground... i just threw in some water, and let on the liht just in case, well... turns out nice, when i woke up today, i saw that it was back in vertical position, the new leaf seem to have become bigger, though there's one leaf that's a bit dried. but overall.. am happy that it came back to life.

it doesn't look perfect, but it looks alive.

hehe lots have happenned since last time, most of you must have thought the plant died, lucky me, it came back to life after the bugkiller experience.

It seems to look really healthy now, except for the 2 leafs that were affected during the bugspray incident.

Please comment and advise. [i have it in some soil mix with higher N in npk value].

Should i put in some goat's dung also?

See pictures attached.

Another thing, its not that am in a hurry [infact i have all the time in the world] and am quite patient, but is it normal that a lowryder has gone like 31 days and hasn't shown any sign of sex yet? if ever it becomes a male, can i still cut off it balls so as i get a fair smoke if ever shit happens?
