Seems like you are heading in the right direction.
As you already have some Superthrive, spray them with 1 drop per 250ml and also water them with the same ratio. It will help the recovery process.
Good Luck.

yup i have seen many of the old schwag bag seeds put forth a potentialy good crop to have it fuked by a bad dry/cure...Bag seeds can give alot of mixed results or female plants that have small amounts of hermie in them and pop out a couple of seeds... but theres nothing wrong with second generation plants:eyesmoke:

thanks for the input everyone,

well i have finally had to come to the realisation that i will have to buy some more seeds,
but i will still let these ones go in the hope that i can somehow get some seeds from
them.... not worried about getting any bud

any suggestions on what to get, im pretty sure i will order from the attitude, as this
is where i got these LR2s and they were quick and stealthy to australia,

im thinkin lowlife ak x hindu kush maybe or something similar

i will also buy a non autoflowering strain too, something cheaper probably,
suggestions would be appreciated again, i want something easy to grow indoors and
out

i will keep everyone updated on these current LR2s just incase they magically come
back with some sort of result

also the bagseed i got i grew outdoors last season and turned out awesome! grew one
girl in outdoor DWC and yeiled about 3 ounces dry which was far beyond expectations

thanks again for all the help RIU

peace

Yeah, getting more seeds is probably a good idea.

I am gonna suggest that you go away from the lowryder/autos, I know that is a typical thing for me to do, but you can go 12/12 from seed with a number of strains and keep plants just as small with a comparable or better yield and finished quality.

So...I would suggest something like an indica to stay real short...you can't go wrong with an afghani, or do the northern lights. Nirvana NL#5 x haze is a cheap variety that produces pretty consistently and provides a more up-buzz if you don't like the body stone of the indicas.

So in conclusion, grow a northern lights or afghani variety 12/12 from seed and get your bud or breed or whatever that way instead of dicking around with the auto's. You will get to harvest in the same amount of time and probably surpass the yield/quality.

Don't get me wrong, I think the auto's are cool in their own way, but I just think in general there are better methods to accomplish the same thing. The only true benefit I can think of for the autos anymore is when you can't provide a 12/12 schedule either because of setup or, if outdoors, light pollution or season is an issue.

thanks alot pete

well the reason i went with the lowryders is for growing outdoor this upcoming season
theyre small height and autoflowering traits are perfect for growing guerilla on my farm
aswell as being able to stagger my planting over summer would be awesome allowing
to have bud earlier than before,

so for this, i think i will definetly be growing another auto for seed, i realise that they
are not nearly as good as a 'real' plant, but for theyre characteristics i wantt to give them a go...again....

however, i am going to grow another strain, and from ur advice i will go with one of
the ones u suggested, NL#5 x Haze sounds good or the Afghani, i will grow these
inside with the autos for the first run, seed a branch or two also, and find the
stealthiest place i can on my farm for some big plants to grow out over summer.

btw, indoor grow is an attic grow room, so i think temps will be HUGE issue come
summer and its 30C consistent temps, so i think the indoor grow will have to take
some time off while its so hot, hence the lowryders

thanks alot for ur help mate, greatly appreciated

any other advice? im making my order today!!!

I understand about the autos completely brother! Like I said I have been playing with them too!

I should've specified that because of the haze mix that one (NL5xhaze)will take up to 12 weeks to finish, depending on how you grow and/or finish it, and if you don't do 12/12 from seed it can get pretty tall.

I also specified Nirvana, just because I assumed you wanted to get by on the cheap. Sensi also breeds this and I assume it would be better (don't know personally), but for as much as it costs it better well be! Actually as much grief as everybody gives Nirvana seeds, I think it is a great service that growers can put out a fair and reasonable amount of money and get a decent product. Everybody gripes about the 100's of pheno's, and the purple pheno, and the inconsistent potency, etc. But for 2-3 a seed, they will germ and produce bud. Also if you are like me and like mystery, you will learn to dig the idea that you never know exactly what pheno you are going to get, and if you do breeding with them it gets real exciting!

You are right about heat killing. That is the easiest thing to underestimate. I know when I first got my 400W HPS I thought....alright! But in a small space that extra heat becomes a burden (which can be dealt with). I don't recall if you said, what are you using for lights/ventilation in your attic?
