im really into these autoflowering strains, especially LR2. How many plants did you need to grow to get the 1zip yield?
they yield about 20-30 grams apeice of bud when dried.im really into these autoflowering strains, especially LR2. How many plants did you need to grow to get the 1zip yield?
can you explain your reasoning in thinking this?but if the pot is too big it will do more harm then good,
Because if you start lowryders in a very big container they won't be getting enough water and the root system will take longer to develop through the soil where as if you put them in a small container and slowly transplant them as they go I guarantee it will be better, also because they only last about 60 days putting them in massive containers is not practicle as they will need time to adjust and this will slow down your growth and budding. I'm no expert just going from expierience.
okay I appreciate that a lot too man, you just start ot with a smaller pot than i was thinking of using to start them in. I was actually going to be starting them in dixie cups until they got strong and cut away the cup to put them in 1 gallon pots, then @ about 30days move them to the 3 or 5 gallon containers.Well heres what I do but I grow indoors so outdoors may be a little differant.
Start in a 1-2 liter pot, allow them to grow to about 21-25 days in them, by now your roots are developed and strong enough for a transplant, once they show sex transplant the females straight away into bigger 3-5 litre pots (This saves you soil on the males and space) I haven't found them to suffer from shock and they should start bulking up and out right away usually reaching about a foot and a half maybe two feet in them pots which they should finish in with a strong healthy root system. You can check out my grow journal below might find some more info if you need it.
i see where your coming from there, for me i would rather wait the extra time for the plant to fill out the 2 gallon pot.Because if you start lowryders in a very big container they won't be getting enough water and the root system will take longer to develop through the soil where as if you put them in a small container and slowly transplant them as they go I guarantee it will be better, also because they only last about 60 days putting them in massive containers is not practicle as they will need time to adjust and this will slow down your growth and budding.

with lowryder your going to have 11 weeks to do what your going to do before they finish. They dont have a veg stage so you dont control when they flower or how big they get.i see where your coming from there, for me i would rather wait the extra time for the plant to fill out the 2 gallon pot.
ive heard some good things about lowryder when give more room to grow.
i know from experience that some mary jane plants do so much better when you give them a "bigger " pot that allows them to fully grow to there max size.
ill wait the extra time, but im sure the yield will be worth it.
Most people find that the 18(light)/6(dark) hr light schedule recommended by most seed banks producing it, works best for optimum results. Not started my lr2 grow yet though...Hey Im gonna order som diesel ryder from dr and I noticed strains like the auto ak-47 they said to put it on a 20/4 light schedule. I was wondering with the diesel amd lw2 do u use a 24/0 schedule and switch to 12/12 or stay 24/0 all the way through flowering. what are u guys useing to grow to get the maximum yield.
what do you think is better LR#2 or Auto AK47?
id say either "big bad john" or the auto ak by the look of the crystals on the plant.strongest auto flower is???? and where can i get it from???
