Lowrider qs

hey. i am thinking about getting some lr to try. had a few questions though. how do you handle the light cycle? 18/6 the whole way through? what happens if you put it to 12/12? also, what size pots do you usually use? i was thinking about using sog in small 6" pots. finally pruning/topping...do you do it or do you just let it go? if so when is the best time to top the plant?

any input is much appreciated

thanks man...only 5gs sucks. was it basically just one cola?

any one have any experience with these topping them?

yes run 18/6.. i do and they really enjoy the 6 hrs off.
Thats pretty poor yielding glock
I get in the region of 2.5 Oz from mine on a regular basis, averaging around 16-18" tall with a good sized main cola and lots of big side colas.

6" pots are fine or LR2s..
Topping is a waste o time with LR2s...it just slows growth and reduces yield

Here's an average example of mine...

Whew. I'm day 22 on LR2 and this is the first bad report I've seen. 5 grams! How is that possible? What was the male/female ratio?

Why do you keep them in so little pots, I know it's an auto dwarf strain, but wouldn't the roots have a little more space to spread out in 5l pots?

24/0 have been the best yielder for me although i rarely do it as the extra cost of electric cuts into the extra bud. a mate of mine tried 12/12 and the result was rubbish. i topped them in the past and it hasnt worked out for the best, but im using 125watt cfls so with a higher powered light it may be worth it. i use 6litre pots. i could get away with a slightly smaller size because of my low powered lights but if your using like a 400 or 600w hps dont use smaller than a 6 litre, you will lose out a lot.
here's a few photos of some lr2, 6 plants under each 125w cfl, 6litre pot each

the numbers on the picture are the dried weights right? not the wet weights

i like lookin at lr2 pics.... they make mine look so good (outside of frosty's)!!!!

stick to frosty's advise...... my smallest female ever was pregnant and after all seeds were removed i had 11 grams dry.... my smallest female that wasen't pregnant was 11 inches tall i got 24.5 grams dry

female ratios are almost always 50/50, why do you think a 5 pack of fems cost as much as a 10 pack of regs?

Who sells LR's I would like to try them?

thats dry weight, why would anyone weigh them wet?
dont be fooled by those photos they had a bad start in life, they were experiments, ill spare you the details.
24.5 grams from an 11 incher? what light did it have over her? those ones in the photo had a 125watt cfl. id like to try a 400watt hps but i havnt got the head room for the heat

250mh and 350 hps (a single 150 and four 50's in the corners.) in a 3ft x 3ft area.

if i didn't live in america i'd sell em...... but seems how i do, this is a good place to use..... for me anyway.

thats a lot of electricity, you should of got more that 24.5g per plant for that. you must have a fault somewhere. what size pot were they in (assuming soil grow)and how many plants did you have in there?

that is not a per plant wieght, it's off an 11 incher which is one of the smaller ones........... i don't think i'd use 600watts for one plant..... one dwarf plant that is.

i never suggested you did have 600w over just one plant. whatever gave you that idea? how come you wont answer my questions about the pot size and number of plants?

oh... sorry i just figured you thought that.... and i didn't answer the last part cuz........ uh... short term memory while typing is decreased.

i start with 10 and i use 1 gallon pots usualy. currently i have at least 8 females under 500 watts mixed in a bed that is 12 inches deep.

im about to throw 10 lr 2's under a 600 watt hps, ill keep you guys upped.
