Iam new, hullo. And may I have some advice plz?

Hullo,
Iam a newboy. what a great site!

I have just bought 3 seeds for 21 GBP (40 USDish).

The are autofem lowrider/kush+chemdog.

I bought autofem seeds because I thought they would be easier to grow (this is the first time I have attempted such a thing). I am going to grow them under lights, in soil in my wardrobe.

At the minute the seeds are on a soggy flannel in my airing cupboard.

What I want to know is, were autofem seeds worth the money I paid? Are autofem seeds a good way to start growing?

How many ozs will I get per plant, hopefully?

Does anyone have any advice?

Thanks for reading my post,

they grow small, flower fast, rarely clonable.
they produce a small yield with pretty low THC contant.
they are way less touchy when it comes to lightning and photoperiods.

If I was to start with autoflowering strains I wouldn't have picked the feminized version as to get a male too and produce seeds for later growing cicles.

good luck

Your yield is strictly a function of light size.

Welcome to RIU!
What a nice polite thread title and post.
Where did you get your seeds from?
What kind of setup are you thinking about? light type?
The problem I see with auto fems is they are only good for the one grow. Autoflowering, so you can't clone(as far as I know) and feminized so no breeding. But if you were looking for a pygmy plant to learn on, seems like a good idea.
Have fun Doris

hullo,

I bought my seeds from a UK shop called dope seeds.-

http://www.dope-seeds.com/

Iam a little alarmed to read that my feminized LR/kush+chemgdog seeds will produce low THC plants


TBH I haven't bought the lights yet, Iam still researching what sort I should buy.
I think I have 2 or 3 days before the seeds in my airing cupboard sprout, so I have 2 or 3 days to buy the lights. Iam 'on the sick' so cost is a jolly important factor when deciding what sort of lights I should buy.

Iam hoping that I can buy the lights from a local DIY shop.

Please don't think Iam too lazy to do any research, I have tried, but there is so much of information online and a great deal of it is contradictory.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for reading again fellers,

cheerio,
Doris

You should check this thread out.. https://www.rollitup.org/newbie-central/172180-first-grow-pics.html
it might give you some good ideas.

And don't be too concerned about your THC levels just yet. Just peruse the forums for other growers with similiar strains and find out what works. I wish I could help more but as far as autos and fems go, Im pretty much clueless.

hey dude i've grown a few auto's lowryder 2,ak47xlowryder 2 and just finished some blue ryder which is blueberry masterlow and lowryder 2 and all three strains got me stoned and they just looked like mini plants and are so easy to grow. like picasso said yield is light dependant

Thanks chaps.

So what lights should I buy?

If anyone here is from the UK it would be great if you could suggest lights that I could buy from WHSmiths do-it-all, or a similar shop.

cheers fellers.

the more lumens in the right spectrum - the better.
the question is how much space you need to light up and what is your budget.

I was plannning on using an empty wardrobe, and as little money as possible!

I have 3 plants.

thanks

Hullo Again,

The little chaps have all sprouted and I have transfered them into 3 pots filled with quality compost.

Iam about to order the 400 watt lights listed here-

Is that lighting system an appropriate thing to buy?

Thankyou everyone

Looks like a good deal. you are probably going to need some ventilation and such, or your wardrobe will get pretty hot.

Thanks MrGood.
I shall have to consider ventilation I suppose. Iam fortunate in that I own a flat in building surrounded by old people, so smell won't be a problem.
