Low Ryder2

first time grower in my 8th week of low ryder2. They say it takes 9 wk for start to finish. Dont have anything to look at tricomes with. Is there any other way to tell when its done. Also the leaves are getting a weird color around the leaves almost a purple, is this ok. Does this plant look healthy. Any help of comments would be very helpful. Thanks

Also there are 2 growing. There are 2 pictures each. Is it normal for the same kind of plant to look so different or could they be to different plants.

I think you can look at the hairs on the plant. Once most of them are orange, I think it's ready. Can someone back me up on this though? I'm not sure.

the plant is fine purple color is normal how long has it been flowering for?

On fri july 11 it will be 8 wk old. so it has been flowering around 4 to 5 wk.

Do u know why it turns that color. Is it something i did

its just the plant you didnt do anything wrong as far as i know and even if you did it will be fine. it will be ready by next week

Dude, ur all good, as soon as 80% of the hairs are orange, it's H time!! and yes even though they are both ruderalis. only 50% carry the same characteristics.

So next week should the hole plant be pulled. I read a few things on pulling the top half and letting the bottom sit for a little longer.

When flushing the plants do u water them like they have been but with no nuts. (every three days, 1/4 gallon of water per plant) or do you add more water more times durning flushing.

nice grow.. i have my LR2's in the mail.. what kind of lighting situation are you using

I used cpf, 3 26watters untill my light came in. Then used the 400 watt hps in the 3rd week on. Using flora bloom every other waterning.

well it looks like it needs water but my guess would be the coloring would be from the flowering. nice budd though!!!

those big fan leaves turning yellow is a good indicator.. your plants look ripe.... you could wait a week, but in my opinion you could harvest...

here are some pictures of the harvest. About how long do they hang upside down before they are ready to into a glass jar.

let em hang uside down for 1 week, or until the stem SNAPS, when u bend it.. usually 7 days is good... then take a lil out for your self and start cring with glass jars... in the FAQ is some suggested methods for curing... congrats on a nice harvest and make sure u let us all know what u think of your smoke

Thats sick.. How did you get your LR2's to turn purple ????

My LR2 crop had 2 that looked exactly like yours so I guess there is a slight variation in pheno's.
I had been putting 1 of them outside for the last couple of weeks to get some natural light and accidently left it out all night and it was quite a cool night.
Anyway it turned purple like yours overnight from the cold temps.
I would give them another week or 2.
Or get a magnifier and check for 30% to 50% amber trich's.

they were indoors for the hole time, have no idear on why they turned colors or how they turned colors. Spiked1 how did you like the lr2. Read alot of mixed opinions on this strain.

Did you think it was a good idea to raise LR2? It grows slow compared to Non-Rudy plants. Should it be grown alone because of the lights going up with the other plants. With hydroponics I cant move the garden up to meet the lights. To me it seems like you can get 10 times the yield with normal plants with just another 2 weeks of growing. Would you recomend me spend my money on LR2. Thanks
