First Grow - Lowryder #2 ( Santa Maria ) Take 2

7.5l will be absolutely fine ryder.

fyfe lowryder's roots dart down so fast its unreal! I used little cups for bout a week then transplant straight to the finishing pot (7litre)

hey just read your question about watering adn thought I would tune into your journal and say whats up... your plants look great man, if space isnt a constraint though I would transplant into the biggest final pot you imagine having... I say this because, no matter what size pot you use, your roots are going to eventually reach the bottom so you might as well go with a large volume pot and then not have to transplant every few weeks... Thats just my .02c though; I think repotting is one of the biggest frustrations of growen.. good job though

Nice grow, similar to what I have planned. Hopefully C will catch up, maybe her genetics are a bit slower than the others. You could always give her a few days extra at the end if she needs it.

what happened to the grow mate?

Updates!

they are lowryders there isn't any need to pot up into the biggest pot size imaginable as they automatically start flowering roughly 3 weeks into their short life.

day 49

i'm sorry, i pretty much abandoned this journal, im lazy!.

anyway, the plants are doing great. the only thing im an idiot for is still feeding them vedging nutes, i just got hold of some great ones though.....zero nitrogen/P-11/K-12
but now there is only 2 weeks left.

its still a shit camera sorry, but they are budding great. the amount of crystals and smell is intense. i get a whiff of it when i open my front door....getting paranoid as hell, which is worrying me

i now have a 7ft length, 4ft wide, 8ft height growing space. looks great, very clean with white mylar all over the walls.

the leaves are very very yellow on a few of the plants, but im told this should be expected. The bottom buds arn't getting much light, should i remove the yellow leaves?

do buds need light to grow, or just the leaves?

the cola buds are very strong by the way, hoping for about 30grams dry off each plant. what do you think?

thanks for not leaving us hanging matey

what a difference from the last pic update lol.

to answer your question, no dont chop any leaves. evn if there is still a little bit of green on them. they will fall off by themselves when the plant is done with them, the leaves take the energy to the buds. please sont hack at the plants

they look good, i would think maybe 3 weeks left though?

yeah, gonna chop at bout day 70 i think.

thinking of whacking 20 of them in my grow space next time, rather than use none auto's. The amount of times my electric has ran out, if they were none autos they'd be spitting out seeds and be all gender confused lol.

wish i would have pollenated a plant for seeds. 20 lowryder feminized is like 120quid, which is a fuckin joke, because you dont even know if they will all sprout or not. plus its going to cost alot of money in soil/nutes, and most of all TIME! when i could get the same yield off 5 big none auto ones....hmmm, what to do?

yeh iv had that problem a few times where iv let the electric run out lol.

it does seem alot of money but 120 for 20 plants which could each produce even nearly an ounce would be 20 ounce of nice homgrown.

that sold on the street at £40 a quarter would make £3200

not that much if you think about it.

not that im saying you should sell anything

looking good. be sure to post more pics when you harvest, plz. and let us know what the dry weight is. only 4 left now?

im gonna go with none autos next time, just keep an eye on the leccy meter, and get a decent timer that wont blow. Do you switch on & off manually?

you can get a good digital timer from B&Q for 2.99 and its 2000w rated i think.

thats what mine are on and its not failed me yet anyway.

if yo have the space and time, i would def go with non auto's.

yield can be so much more.

I wouldnt trust a 2000 rated for a 400watt..... a contactor off ebay is like £20

Nice plants also ! what are you hoping for off each ?

gonna be realistic and say 20g per plant.

will be creating a new thread when im harvesting, and will post it up here within the next 7 days or so.

jst make sure you dont chop to early mate and spoil your potency.

have or can you check the trich's?

just dont want to see you chop plants then find out they could do with another week or so

Good Luck Mate, Can't wait to see the harvest..

Give Us A Smoke Report Too

More pics m8...

yeah, doin diesel ryder, interested in this grow
