Sound mick,will have a look for that and will let you know how I got on.

[mickrick]

n/p mate theres enough nutes in the soil for 2 month, so dont need nutes in veg just flower stage..

[greensky67]

The seeds will be lowryder 2 will they be ok

[mickrick]

lowryder 2 are nice, but there are better tasting auto's out there..
depends on what ya looking for in ya plants.. a good yielder is a must with auto's.

[greensky67]

I have small space 25in x 16in and I heard lowryder 2 should grow in that space.

Do you advise any other strains for 1st time growing

[mickrick]

you could get two in there but it will be tight fit. what light are ya going to use?, plus the smell will need addressing and some kind of small fan is a must.. lowryder 2 are bigger the the original lowryder. so if space is a problem may be LR1 would be better..

I have 4 100w cfls in a pc grow box with 2 intake and 1 out take fans and ona block for odors.

I was also 2 thinking of putting 2 plants in it as it seems big enough.

LR1 grow smaller ya

[mickrick]

yeah smaller and go 24/7 with ya lights so there's less stretch to be on the safe side. ya don't want to burn them on ya lights.

if ya make some seeds from them ya can grow them outdoors in the summer.
if you buy fem seeds ya cant make seeds, so ya might wanna consider regular seeds if you plan on making some ya self..just a thought..:rastasmoke:

Should I use the tomato nutrients in every third watering and water daily

[mickrick]

yeah,but not for at least 6 weeks there's nutes in the soil..read this (http://cannabisknowledge.nl/showthread.php?124-What-are-common-mistakes-made-by-first-time-growers)
leave the soil dry out in between watering..
