my lowryder2 grow and experiances

1st grow was 2 plants got 1 male and a female, great cause I needed the seeds 1/2 gallon pot on the female and a much smaller one on the male, you definitly need at least 1 gallon pots for these. Used 150 watt cfl grow bulb with hood straight through ended up with about 150 seeds and 1/4 oz dried buds, would have had more yeild if it not for seeding them, not a bad smoke, but not the greatest as much of the thc was used for seed production.

One female in 1 gallon pot 4 weeks under 24 hour 150 watt cfl 2 weeks under 12/12 400 watt hps, and 24 75 watt cfl. these are b4 using the hps system

swithched it over to 12/12 hps and 24 75 watt cfl, ventalation kept at about 85 degrees.

my lowryder2 grow and experiances

so what were your experiences? nutrient probs? ph probs? etc etc.
i grew a lr2 lady in a big wilmo pot, about 3 gals, under 400w hps and got a square ounce. got another 5 going at the moment in 5" pots waiting to be sexed, just over a week old. one seems to be showing some sort of defficiency which goes and remerges with waterings. using biobizz allmix with added perlite

closeups got about another week or so til harvest estimating about 1/2 oz to 3/4 oz of dried buds when done. I just started to germ 4 masterlow seeds and hoping to do the same as above except withthe new lighting system and hoping for 1 male and 3 females will germ one female for the seeds, then the next grow I will cross male masterlow with a female lr2 or other way around depending on what comes up.

your lowryder 2 look very different to mine. where did you get the seeds?

I am using schultz potting soil plus which has slow release nutes n .08,phos. .12 and potash .08 and additional nutes for first 4 weeks half doses of fox farm big bloom and gen hydro maxigrow, then swithched to half dose gen hydro maxi bloom and fox farm big bloom, basically 2 T per gallon fox farm and 1 tsp gen hydro mixture, so far so good no discolouring of the leaves.

looking good bro. keep us updated. i have just started up some lr#2, lowsnow, afghani ryder, and 3 way all from soulseeds.uk.
i will be making a journal on here once they are worthy

why are you putting them in 12/12? they auto flower under 24 hour light, will prob give u higher yield

under 24 on cfl and 12 12 on hps, i dont like leaving the 400 watt hps's on for 24 hour straight when I am not at home. so they come on at 4am til 4pm. seems to work fine tho.

then put em on like 16/8

leave them on 12/12 stubbone. it will help your yield. most sites and people i have known to grow lowyrder have them on 24/0 lighting for the first 4 weeks or so then cut it to 12/12 to get a better yield seeing how the darkness helps induce flowering.

I have grown 2 lots now first i had on 18/6 most of the way. Second had 12/12 to fit in with my 'normal' flowering plants.
I got about half off the second one that i did off the first.
Not sure if thats totally down to the lights but that is what i am assuming.
I have read what dr chronic says about them and 24 hrs is not a good choice as it sometimes makes them grow too fast and finish early of the 9 weeks with noticeably less yield.
Also mentioned to lay off the 12/12 because they are a quick turnover plant and that they need a fair amount of light to bump up the yield.

seems like the buds are looking very nice....your opinions?

I think I will give it another week before cutting any thoughts?

What is the total height, from dirt to top.
I have 10 in soil now, they are at ten days
but are only at about 4 in
