"Bad" Batch Fem Lowryder 2's?

I am now on day 42 and my 5 Feminized Lr2s are still not flowering. Preflowers showed at day 32 but since then nothing has happened. My Auto AK47 x Auto Blueberry are doing fine. They showed sex at day 24 and are well into the flowering stage. I have them in 3 gallon grow bags with fox farm OF soil/perlite mix, under a 600w HPS. They are on the recommended 18/6 light schedule. my temps range from 73F to 78F in the day and stay at about 65F to 68F during the dark. My water is always pHd at 6.8. There has been no stress that I know of either.

Other people here on RIU are having the same problems with the latest batch of Feminized Lowryder #2 seeds. Could there be anything other than the genetics that are causing this? Maybe soil temps, nutes, or Ph? Im kinda outta patience. My electricity bill went up 300$ because i went over my baseline allowance or sumthing.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

hmmm if its happening to many people i would assume they are a bad batch maybe hermies? contact the seed bank u got them from and ask if they have received complaints to the similar nature

im guessing that all these "bad" lowryder seeds are simply unstable. (meaning the ruderalis gene was somehow altered) try taking the plants showing sex and put them into a 12/12 light schedule. hopefully this will make them flower. i would definitely get together a group of people who are complaining of bad seeds and contact the vendor. if you have enough people, they cannot ignore that..

they will tell you what they told me.

We are very sorry to hear you are dissatisfied with your souvenirs, as you are aware we sell our seeds solely for souvenir purposes and storage purposes. In regards to compensation,we are unable to process non germination claims in the UK as we cannot be seen to be selling seeds for any other purpose than for souvenir purposes or for storage purposes should the laws change, there have been strict laws implemented in the UK regarding this.

I had the same problem, I'll call The Joint Doctor tomorrow and I'll see what can be done. Until then I would like to keep this thread going maybe to get some refunds?

I'll work something out guys just hang in there.

yeah whulkimania, thats what they told me... and everybody else... they were never meant to grow... maybe if we said we were dissatisfied with the appearence of our souvinears, and would like more!ha. im gonna try loading mine up with bloom nutes, and putting her in the dark for a day or so. then well see what happens. id put her on 12/12 but i have three vegging clones that need to go for atleast another 2 weeks in the same room... i guess worst comes to worst, illjust have a BIG ass LR2 flowering with my other girls...

OK, well if I buy a souvenir Eifel Tower statue and it's broken, I want a refund or a new one. Can't show off broken souvenir's right? Tell them the seeds were damaged and you have no intention of growing them. You just want to display them for friends and company you may have over to your house.

OR, contact the breeder directly. Usually if they aren't arrogant douches bags, they will hook you up.
