Hey ppl had to start a new thread coz i couldnt put pics up so here we go, the first pic is one of the sprouts at day 2 this ones been the strongest so far so i hope its female. pic 2 is of the grow cab, up until today there was only 3 lights but got the one with the ghetto reflector today. and the final pics is the plants, they are one week from seed. i plan to get one more lamp to put at the other side. all lamps are 20 watt cfl. the strain is lowryder 2.

Just an update at day 10. Got a fan in there now, the lights are on a 20/4 cycle and so is the fan. I reckon they'll be due for a repot at about 17-20 days which is convenient coz thats when lowryder can be sexed (so i'm told) meaning males wont take up room in the bigger pot. Anyone else thats grown this strain i'd luv to hear from you as this is my first grow and i'm prayin it keeps up the way it has been. Havnt got any nutes but the peat pots are infused with miracle-gro, my mate has tomato feed he was gonna giv me is this any good? Don't mean to ramble but just wanted to put as much info as possible.:rastasmoke: oh and i'm gonna get one more bulb to put at the side with the ghetto reflector to avoid the plants bending to one side.

okay day 11 and theres been a not so bad change since yesterday, the pics are from my phone so dunno if u can see what i mean. i'm wonderin if i should repot them now or wait till they have been sexed. the big one ( queen liz ) is a little taller than it looks but the stems been buried by about 1cm. really need some feed back ppl as bein a noob to this its all trial and error.

Day 16: I've repotted them into 6" pots and have added a shelf to hang a light on. Its to early to tell what sex they are but ive looked over em and takin a guess i'd say the one at the left and the one at the top are female and the middle one is male. The biggest ones bottom leaves are goin a bit yellow and browning at the edges. Any thoughts/comments?

okay ppl day 26: Had a male (gutted) but on the brightside it was the one that i suspected it was and the other two are female. So ive planted another seed its now at day 4 and doing well, my two ladies are starting to smell nice and are growing at an alarming rate and since payday is only a couple days away i can get more lights/reflectors and hopefully improve these beauties. 1st pic is queen liz, i love this plant, and the second is named crispin'. Some1 pls give me some comments as this log just seems to be a lost cause.

I just saw a deal on a 125w cfl bulb with reflector on Welcome to Green's Horticulture - Organic & Alternative Gardening Products (http://www.greenshorticulture.co.uk) for £40, since im growin lowryders would i be better gettin the red or blue spectrum one? Planning to keep my other seeds till i get this lamp.

At day 30 now and im a happy man, queen liz is standing at 8" tall now it grew over an inch and a half in the last 2 days and shes lookin and smellin great. I added another 20w cfl today and now have 3 of my lights focused on this plant since its the strongest i'm taking great care of her. I also started watering with bottled water and they seem to love it. These are all pics of liz i'll get omes of the rest in a minute.

I topped the plant in the first pic 3 days ago, its leaves are alot more indica like compared to the other plant which seems sativa dominant.

Now we're at day 40. the seed i planted after finding a male also turned out to be a male, so, im keeping the last 2 for when i get the new gear. a grow tent and 250watt cfl which im ordering come end of the month. had to do some pruning coz the leaves were gettin burned. the small plant is only about 4" but its fuckin wreackin of a skunky smell and startin to show some nice trichomes. now queen liz is just a completley different plant, standing at 10.5" and budding like fuck but it smells more citrus like. cant wait to smoke these babies.

those are loking real good, man. Even the wee one is nice.
When you pulled the males did you happen to see if the peat pots were still intact? Problem I had with them is that they would bind the roots and never "desolve" I don't use them nomo.

Okay heres some pics, the one of the smaller plant was 15 days before harvest and the pics of the big one were 5 days. it was really fun to harvest on christmas day! In the last week the big plant started going purple on the leaves, i take it just from cold temperature? the last pic is the buds from Queen Liz after pruning.
