Is this ridiculous or not?
I'm planning to put my plants under a CFL light until they start showing their sex and are seperated which is roughly 28 days in, i then plan to put them under my HPS light until they finish budding.

So for personal use I made this grow calander also with timezones on what light the plant gets in which stage.
The average grow time is 8-9 weeks but i've put this on 8 weeks with guidelines...
The 28th day is my cycle when i start planting again just incase anyone gets confused

But anyway tell me if u think its shit and if not then if u have any experience in lowryders see if you've got any additional information u think I should add



Feedback very welcomed...
Edit: ignore day 56... i know u dont harvest the males for seed lol

it looks pretty good, not detailed to the point where id call you a loser but very nice. This is for lowryders? if so, cross or full breed?

I've done research on lowryders and the males show sex in 17 days from germination and females in 20 days. I would leave the C.F.L on 24/7 after the first week until they show sex. Then use H.P.S on 18/6 until harvest. Good luck.

Dumb noob question. I haven't heard of lowryders. What are the pros/cons and where does one get them?

Yeah I think i'm gonna 24/7 them for 1 week with my CFL lamp but I can only really give them 12 hours light during my flowering because the electricity prices are just too damn high, maybe in the last week i'll try giving them 24/7 light and maybe after my first yeild i'll be able to put them on 24 hour light permenent during flowering because i'll have some cash from my product to pay for all the electricity my 400w hps uses...

I wanted to ask that question. I have seen reference to 24 light for vege.....but Ithought that if you have 24 during flowering, they revert to vege growing?

lowryder is said to have an auto-flowering trait that allows them to flower under constant light without a need for a 12 hour dark period

Great Calander H2O! Thanks, it was exactly what I was looking for. As a postscript if you don't mind; how much cured bud/weight is harvested off each plant using this ~2 month ~ cycle?

- Rough estimate of course, i'm growing Top 44 (X4 plants) exclusively for personal use, minus a kick to the chap who supplied the light!

Geez, that sounds awful! Why would any grower want that?

In an indoor grow, I want to control that, not leave it up to the plant.
