Auto Flower Feminised Questions

Hey guys, I am new to this site and to growing. I have a quick question, I am growing two different types of auto flower feminised low ryders.
The web site says, done in 5 -8 weeks, and 20 / 4 light
I need to know what nutrients I can put in these and how soon.
I have Sensi Bloom, carboload, big bud and bud blood.

I was thinking I dont need grow as this goes straight into flowering.... so id need the bloom... Is this right? What should I use and not use as far as nutrients go?
This is in dirt and indoor.

the love (for me) grow big fox farms and bloom fert (tiger bloom) they really are tolerant to changes in ph, fert strenth and heat. I highly reccomend these for beginners and or light sensitive grow rooms! Just check out my grow it's my first grow and it looks like i have experience haha ... peace and good look brotha

You will still need a nitrogen based nute even though they are auto flowering! They still nedd to grow and this is what N is used for.

will I feed it grow and bloom at the same time?

Right now i am growing Lowryder 2, they just sprouted, so i dont have really any experience yet, with fertilizer that is... however i have done a lot of reading, ive read some places that starting week 2 you should feed them grow fert for 2 weeks then phase in the flower fert for 2-3 weeks, then flush for the last 1-2 weeks

anybody please correct me if i am wrong, like i said i just read it somewhere

Sounds like mine are as far along as yours, its about 1/2" above soil Cant wait.
What are you using as far a light cycle?

in my last post i said starting week 2... i meant start AFTER week 2 was over...

and as far as my light cycle right now i have 4 26W cfls' 24/0, ill eventually switch down to 20/4 probably for the whole lifecycle. i have a 150W HPS ill turn on once they are bigger...

how many do you have? what cross of lowryder is it? Check out my journal if u wanna see some pics of mine. good luck with your grow.

I got PAKISTAN RYDER


AFGHAN KUSH RYDER


I have one 200W CFL, and am just starting one plant at a time to see how it goes.
As of now I do have it on 24H light.. Not sure when I turn it. They say it will take 5 - 8 weeks to be done...

I've grown 4 lowryder2 crops and that is just about fhe perfect way to feed them.
The more they can grow new leaves the more bud you will get, hence the nitrogen.
Go easy but, they don't like too many nutes, so start at half strength or less.

Very interested in this! Also what is the best light cycle?
Germed a dieselryder and an auto hindu kush on 3/27, planted yesterday morning!
just checked and the diesel is already peeking out!
I will be growing these from start to finish under this 90 watt UFO led thingy. Heard alot of positive and negative feedback on these and really think I just wanna see for my self. Plus I got a great deal on it!
Anyways I will be startin a journal as soon as I can get my bro over here to take sum pics!
Good luck fello auto growers!!!!

so dont feed them for two weeks than? I did give it a little bit of grow today, it is a plant starter for transplants and seedlings... it is Nitrogen based.
Also did you put them on 24's?
Like I said I am using a large 200W Sun Blaster
this is the light, about 2 feet long


here is it set up with plant, like I said I am just doing one to see how it goes, I do have more seeds



and after a day under the light

id like to know wot the best combination of nutes are for lowryders?
it makes sense that they will need grow and bloom

well I found out that you feed grow for the first two weeks than bloom. I just need to know do I feed it with every water or every second or 3rd water? or just feed once a week and normal water the rest of the time?

this is where it is at now, 1 week after it cracked

dont feed it anyting for another week. Use pH'd water. Then start off with 1/4 stength GROW nutes for 2 weeks. Then switch it to the BLOOM nutes. You can use CarboLoad through out the whole grow becuase thats just sugar. Feed with nutes every other watering. Im growing a HinduKushxAK47 lowryder right now. Its easy to grow, youll have a good time watching it take off.

Where did you get that light?

edit: Chances are it will take a week or two more than what the breeder says. Just take it slow and learn.

the actually CFL or the whole thing, with ballast?
I got the cfl from a buddy that makes the rolling thunder and other hydro gear in Vancouver BC, the ballast I made from a electric heater
you can see it here
https://www.rollitup.org/indoor-growing/178289-homemade-200w-cfl-ballast.html

it looks like it just screws into a mogul base? Im not electrical savvy, but that CFL will probably do you wonders! Goodluck

I am not too savvy on the electrical, all I did was wire a 1/2 ceramic base up and than mounted it to the base of the heater
Thank you for that much needed info! have you done the lowryders before?

never. This is my first one. It started o out slow, it was really stunted. But once im done with it im going to purchase more forsure. They are so easy and fun to grow, i dont know why people hate on them

what happened to it that made it stunned? And they just hate because its a easy way to grow, take allot of time out and work out to get some good stuff
