LOWRYDER

[HazZyWay1]

hey,
im a fairly new grower and im tryin out lowryder 2's. It's been about a month and the lower leaves are beginning to show signs of nute def, particularly nitrogen. I recently added the first supply of fish emulsion to the mix and they dont show any signs of improvement. The temp is about 78, the soil is organic with perlite, i'm using two 75 watt CF bulbs, and the ph is about 6.8. What could i do or is it normal as is?

how come it is so small man if it's been a month! Are you overwatering it?

[HazZyWay1]

well they are lowryders, and i really only water them every 2-3 days or whenever the soil is dry

hmm okay dude, well I'm not an expert, but I have some experience, I'd expect my plant to be a bit bigger.. depends what light it is under I guess? What light is it under, is the soil really compact? How long did it take to germinate (strange questions but the size of your plant makes more sense to me if it took 10 days to germinate).

I think Lowryders are the ultimate plant- autoflowering, thats crazy good for forgetful ones like me! :D

Wish you the best of luck

Ya i agree with denial they are small for a month!!!
Do you have a fan in the room blowing on the plant??

[denial102]

ahh, just saw you using 2x74 watter CFL's... hmm should be enough.. how close are they? Something is not right, just a case of what :(

except you get poopy bud

ruderalis = pooooooooey

(my opinion)

i guess i never realized how hard it is to program a light timer...LOL!

:dance:


EDIT:
HAzzY,
uhhhh, didnt mean any offense to your lowryder.....im sure you'll max out the strains capabilities.....

keep up the good work

Dont waste your time with lowryder 2 , i done a grow of 6 they finished at about 26 inches and yielded 7/8 of an ounce per plant .
The worst bud i ever smoked in my life , the high was intense for 2 minutes and then just faded away after 10 minutes . To sum it up crap high.

To small for a month old, mine were a 1ft tall at a month.

But good luck anyway. The Perfectionist

^^^^^ Exactly my point!!!!^^^^^

[hybridlove420]

is it just me or is it pretty stretched as well?

when you say 2X75w, is it 75w, or 75w EQUIVELENT

chances are your using 20w cfl spotlights that are equal to a 75w incand.

even so, it looks stretched. keep cfls withing 2-5 inches above the plant

Why do people come into a plant problem section to not only NOT address the problem but then criticize, even poke fun at the thread owner?

Your plant is very small for a month old, like others have said. That is nottttt normal. As for LR2 at a month you are almost half way through and it should be in flower right now. So assuming it can make it through flower, let it flower and then pray for a better grow next time! Good Luck.

boo hoo at the poopey bud `cuss`.

Maybe it is important to establish that the strain is unpredictable at best?

Maybe it is important to establish that lowryder is more ideal for those in hydroponic, aeroponic & sea of green deployments?

oh well i'm here if you have any more problems. I find it very hard to believe that the plant is short because its strain is "poopey"


Peace,
Denial

[smokedoja]

Balkey, Im not making fun of anyone!

(maybe a friendly shove to denial for being lazy and not switching the light schedule...LOL!!)

i also told hazzy i didnt mean any offense to his lowryder....more of the whole RUDERALIS catagory.....

Denial... heres a little something from the CannabisCulture Website

"Ruderalis varieties are almost completely devoid of THC and come with a host of other problems for the grower or breeder. Though they contain little THC, these plants hold large potential for use in breeding, both in hemp and marijuana applications. Early flowering and resistance to locally significant insect and disease pressures are but a few of the important traits present in these feral populations."

so no matter what you cross with Ruderalis....its always going to make your white widow, or your skunk#1 worse....less THC, less bud, less everything!!

fair enough dude, I'm still not sure if telling the guy his stuffs pooey is going to help him, or make him feel great :) Subtelty is a great tool :-) oh and it's apparently polite too, don't ask me, I am just a stoner :rastasmoke: on the peace train :hippy:

in all fairness, I am sure you are correct mr smokedoja

PS: that lowryder plant isn't mine, so I'm not setting any light schedules so nerr! :D

[smokedoja]

lol....anyways lets just chill, im sorry or whatever..

First of all, if your going to find sources that back up your point you might want to find something that has been published in the past 5 years. That information was posted in 2003. Many changes have occurred in LR and its offspring's since then. It's potency level, its size, etc. many things have changed.

As from MY experience, growing LR2 was very easy if you stick to the basics. The high from LR2 was NOT just 2 minutes then faded away. My high from LR2 was for 2 hours and faded in 4 hours. Now, that's quite a difference in numbers. See I've grown it, I've smoked, and now I comment about it because I have EXPERIENCE with it. I don't come in and say, those are poooey.

Now I wish Hazzyway would come back and give us an update to see how it's going now. Hope he's figuring out what he has done wrong and realize what he should do next time. FYI, if you use CFLs they need to be within 1 inch of the plant.

hey,
im a fairly new grower and im tryin out lowryder 2's. It's been about a month and the lower leaves are beginning to show signs of nute def, particularly nitrogen. I recently added the first supply of fish emulsion to the mix and they dont show any signs of improvement. The temp is about 78, the soil is organic with perlite, i'm using two 75 watt CF bulbs, and the ph is about 6.8. What could i do or is it normal as is?


HaZZYway

what is ur humidity by chance? i'm not sure so don't take my word for it but if the humidity is wack then it could be part of the problem..good luck with the grow bro
