My CFL Lowryder 2 grow - first grow!

trichromes tell the best story as far as i can tell but some ppl go by hairs. It is all down to what u want, if u want a buzzy heady high chop early and if u wanna get nailed to the sofa wait till u got mostly amber/ red trics.

right i am growing 4 lr dwarf mix and loads of other plants purple widow,northern lights special,big bang fem and him gold they all sprouted apart from some seeds i started on today about two weeks since i planted my lr mix and other doing ok but ... winter is coming soon, and would my plants survive indoor missing the frost over night with one output ratio of 125watt cfl and grow with natural light aka uk cloudy. would they grow well and okay with those sort of lights no rush i want to grow now to get maximum growth for next years sept/oct but my main concern is my lr's mix will they grow and flower fine through the winter. sorry for using your thread its just that i cant find any other way to post a new one wb many thanks

Oh no look what happened. Dont worry, I didnt need much convincing! I actually kinda hope its crap otherwise C might be half bald by tomorrow!!

yeah u could probably keep them alive over the winter if they dunt get frost. The lowrders will finish in bout 9 weeks tho regardles of what u do

oops, how did that happen lol. so u gonna use the hair drier on it?

okay thanks frost will not get too them lol but will lrs flower okay with that sorta light etc 9.00 am when i wake up put them outside 9/10 pm i put them indoors with 125 watt output ratio cfl and so on and on wb thanks mate

Well Ive heard that Lowryders are good for lower light levels so thats good. Im not sure about all those other vaireties. Im not sure I know what you mean tho, are you growing indoor or out? I dont think outside at this time of year would be very productive. I dont know what "with 125 watt output ratio cfl and so on" means. I would keep the Lowryder indoors with the CFL, theyll do OK with that and you wont risk the cold and the bugs etc. All I can tell you is that Lowryders seem to do good under the big CFLs; someone else (Hmmm - check their link from my page if you havnt found it already!) has one plant under a dual 125w CFL and its doing great so it can be done simply with the CFLs. Im not sure about those other varieties tho, Im only a beginner and Lowryders seem to be easier than regular ones. Is this your first grow? If so it seems a little ambitious and I would try the lowryder and maybe only a couple of other regular ones to start with and learn with. But you already have them germinated so I dont know!

i got two plants that are on the endangered list right now lol, but i have to be strong if i want the stone that i like lol.

My hairdryer just cut out... Hope its not broken. Hurry up and cool... God damn it! Lol endangered, I like that!

indoors and outdoors but keep this in mind i want my other plants to just grow till next seasons harvst but keep them alive and avoid the frost as for my lr i dont mind on harvest size but one cfl at night will be slow growth but i dm i did have a 600 watt hps had it for a week and electric bill raised the roof and police came and took them so now i have got to use the basics i have grown before but all males lol

your kiddin man, busted for a high energy bill. A one killawatt fire puts out 1000w, surely being cold aint illegal

bad init thats what they look out for lol i hate them so much are you female or male dont take offence

message to queen bee sorry mate

Well... my hairdryer came back on and it dried to a pathetic amount as seen in the pic! I made my mini joint and I think its helped. Its so hard to tell when you want it to work so badly sat there thinking is it working?! Theyve gone to bed now tho so thatl have to do. Im now concerned tho coz it smelt the same as D's leaves, not weedy. Its more of a herby smell, maybe, dont know, I cant think what it smells like. Not bad, not nice, but not of weed!

Supersami - I get it now, youre vegging the plants till next year? Sounds like a plan. I would keep the lowryders inside under the CFL with 18/6 light schedule, especially if youve been busted before, surely not good to have the plants outside, not only that but carrying back and forth - isnt there risk someone might see?! My Lowryder 2 are pretty big now, I wouldnt like to have to carry them back and forth every day! And Im a female lol!

well well well dont no many females apart from my gf who grows weed lol my garden quite enclosed but surley my lr wont grow well without whats left of natural sunlight i want to make most of outside but 1 cfl wont work well all day with lr ??? thanks

maybe u should get some more cfl's. im running a 400 and a 250w light most the time, do u think i should be worried of rozzers bugging me for high lecy bills?

I had mine under one 250w CFL for the first month (8 plants for 3 or 4 weeks then eventually just the 3 females). I only got another light because 3 didnt fit very well under just the one light. I think 1 125 CFL could get 2 half decent lowryders. I dont think the light would be very good outside now, the CFL might actually be better? They can grow very well under just the CFLs. I really think thatd be better considering all the risk and faff of taking them outdoors. On the websites it says lowryders can be planted outside until August I think, so the end of September might be too late; not enough light. Especially with out weather. Theyd also get rained on and the wind might damage them. I think of the harsh british outdoors in September/ October / November then I think of a cosy cupboard with a lovely bright CFL... I know which Id prefer! Like I said tho Im no expert

i get your meaning about cosy .... lol do yo no what cfl size i am on about i just get fed up trying to find money too smoke the shit i just want my own lol and its hard to get atm been trying too get some all morning still waiting lol well i keep you informed lets see what happens x

Nice to you around again queenbee! There looking good i noticed mine started to fill out alot in the last few weeks so maybe yours will do the same? Been having a closer look at your pics and you seem to have a few purple stems going maybe some sort of difcenciy? However you spell that lol. Trinity has only just started getting purple stems in the last week or so i think that's due to age though as the purple stems are only on th bigger fan leaves. What i've noticed is though once the stem goes complety purple the leave dies well in my case they have. Just a thought why they might not be budding as much as you want.

they do fill out at the end ived found lol. Like the last week and nothin the day or so after fat buds are urs lol
