Bonjour everyone,
This is gonna be the journal of a newbie.
I'm currently growing my first ever maravingeon! I've been reading and researching on this website for about two months and feel as though i've already grown thanks to you guys.
I've decided to go for the lowryder strain from its size and hardiness. The only experience i've had is growing hemp which went pretty well only i found out after destroying them that i had three males and one female. (not that i give a crap)
I'm growing under a 125watt envirolite in a cabinet. The size of the cabinet is 80cm wide x 45cm depth x 65cm height.
I'm also growing Rainbow Chillis, Cayenne Chillis and Strawberries.
The one tiny problem i'm having is keeping the humidity up. Atm its at 35, is that ok or not?:confused:
I'll keep updated, and i'll also show you how my other plants are coping.
I originally put my lowryder outside as i was waiting for my light to come, thats why the first set of leaves are slightly damaged. I'm currently around day 14.
I'm just praying to god that my 1st plant is a female! If its male can i keep the seeds after its times up? and how long will it take for those seeds to be ready for replanting?
Cheeerz!!!:D

Seeds? What seeds? Seeds from a male and a what? Sorry bud, females make the seeds.

Nice fresh new growth...
Looks abit crappy from the stacked pots but i can't figure another way to get the seedlings as close as possible. The light is fixed to the cabinet so i cant move it down.

An easy way to boost humidity is to simply put an open tupperware container full of water near your plants, and keep it full. That's what I do (AC unit sucks all the moisture out of the air), and it seems to help somewhat. It's not as good as a humidifier, of course, but hey, it's easy and cost-effective. ;)

Thanks dude for the advice, i regularly spray my tray and notice how quick it evaporates so i'll try you're idea.:)

hi orange cloud,
Yeh i haven't got any ventilation system, however there is no backboard on my cabinet, dunno why it just came like that, so i'm gonna leave it like that and keep a window open so the cold air should travel downwards and ventilate it - hopefully.
If not i might buy a small bathroom fan and fix it into the top right and make a hole on the bottom left or something and close the backboard with mylar.
Any other suggestions and ideas on what i could use as ventilation would be great.

I dont think you can see it very easily on this picture but i'm seeing alot of green and no white hairs. I'm thinking its a male because theres two ballish looking things coming out on the beginning of every leaf.
I'm gonna wait a few days longer to see a clearer view of it.

No, those are probably just new growth shoots. Cannabis plants do not mature sexually for 3-4 weeks after sprouting, so unless it's some kind of mutant plant, it should not be exhibiting any signs of its sex just yet.

Cheers for telling me. I was looking up loadsa pictures and began to think it might be growth but i'm no expert lol! Its just that lowryder info said males show there sex really quickly but cant remember how long it was now.
Thanks man, peace out.:thumbsup:

this is not true with lowryder, unless it is a mutant lowryder. Lowryder will automatically show sex males usually around day 17 and females around day 21 so those might be balls you see

09-19-2006, 08:18 PM
Well its day 20 now and its sex has shown to be female!
I've been lookin at it closely and can see around about 4-5 pistils.

hey lowryder,
to help u out with your ventilation system, I made few pics of my mother plant " facility"... LOL
thats where I keep em'.
my flowering room and seedlings/clones room is located in my closet. I like simple and cheap stuff. so all my grow boxes and growrooms are build from cardboard duck tape LMAO
works perfectly for me. and I always can modify it. cut the hole or make it dissapear LOL
I build 65W (6500K) flood lamp in there. I dont have any mylar left, so I just covered walls with sheets of styrofoam.
in picture #1 u can see how my grow box looks like. made bunch of holes in the back side at the top. so the hot air could get out through em. blue arrows shows how the air moves LOL ( u can see my fan located in the bottom part in pic #2)
if u gonna use same idea don't put it close to the wall, cuz u want your air to get out. I left 1 inch gap.
in pic #2 u can see my little fan I got in wal*mart (FCUK_WAL*MART thou) for $8.00. it's on 24/7 and it keeps bringin' fresh air into grow box and keeps pushing "used" one from the box....
I have 3 mother plants in there right now. we'll see what yield their clone babys gonna bring me. and then I'm gonna get rid of one of them...
I hope u gonna find some useful info here.
ciao.

LOL! Thanks cloud for your info, im just gonna check out your thread. I like your idea it looks pretty awesome considerin you had low budget items.
I'm still looking for the right fan atm. I can't have a fan imbedded into the cabinet though. I need a regular fan, but it needs to be fairly small/low wattage.
Cheers mate:thumbsup:

09-20-2006, 05:27 PM
well. few pics from from my closet air system.
fresh air circulation is very important, and even u keep opening the door to your grow room, its not gonna be enough as ssoon its gonna get more bushy...
I have one fan to suck air IN (just regular fan with modified cardboard (!) box, that makes 4 separate air streams). fan is located in the bottom of grow cabinet.
fan for sucking air OUT is window fan. as u can see I am using pipes u can find in ducting/ventilation section if hardware store... fan is located on the top of grow cabinet.
blue arrows marks fresh air. red arrows marks used one...
your grow box is pretty small. U need just fan IN I guess... if I was u I would just take one of your grow box nice doors away and guess what I would put in???
yessir. u right . an ugly peace of cardboard. ha ha. I would make a bigger hole in it an I would connect fan. I would leave few small holes in the top for air out. during flowering u can cover small ones with carbon filter for smell reduction....

09-22-2006, 05:48 PM
ok, i've finally planned out my ventilation system. As i don't want to damage my cabinet by putting holes in it, i plan on using mdf and closing off the back of the cabinet. I will use foil and stick it onto the mdf.
Cool air is going to come in from the bottom left which is where a 3 inch mini box fan will go.
The warm air will rise and exit at the top right hole.
Here are some pictures to show you what i mean.
I have one question.
Where do i cut the adaptor so i can connect the wires with the fan? Just after the cylinder thing or before? Thanks peepawl:smokin:
Heres what i'm gonna use -

09-22-2006, 06:08 PM
That Intake Outtake system Is very Similar to my Cabinet and it works well I use the same type of Computer Fan. I also have a little Carbon TruAir filer which has a little fan on it. to move air around. Those style comp fans are around 100cfm. The Carboard Box setup is awsome duder... I wish I could do that but I dont have a house so No Basment to hide that kind of setup I had to do somthing A Little more steath for my Downtown Condo Style ap.t.
check it out.

Yeha forsure Mang... My plants are at week 6 total. day 6 flowering
im noticing that in the flower chamber the side lighting is causing the plants to grow into the light. and keep touching the bulb I might put the [;astic cover back onm to stop the leafs from touching the actual bulb but then i will lose some lummes Id bet.
I should have put my plants into flower earlier cuz they are gonna end up being to big for that space I can already tell. Ohh well Ill figure it out.
What is your soil mix mang? Im thinking of trying coco next time. I can get it easier

Today was the day I transplanted my plants to bigger pots.
The cayenne and bolivian rainbow chillis are doing pretty good as well atm.
I've also started out germinating some strawberry seeds.........and another lowryder :thumbsup: using some moist kitchen tissue and putting it in an airtight baggie.
My backboard with the ventilation fan is kinda like half done.:o I bought the wrong fookin adaptor which really pissed me off, but i'm ordering the right one on ebay.
Anyway heres a few more pictures to show where i'm at now.
ps - baggie and fan can just be seen bottom left (fan backboard not actually attached yet which is why its so low down):smokin:

I'm gonna start using ferts now to help get it moving.

nice man :thumbsup: , looking very good. it also looks like your going to get a nice central bud/cola by the time harvest rolls along. by the way man, what are the sizes of your pot (the container)? I'm just using a 5" tall, only like 3.5" wide cup w/ drain holes. Since my leaves are growing much further out then the cup (from an aerial veiw) I'm thinking I'll have to transplant soon? Do you think her roots are getting crowded?
Again, nice growth man!

i began growing my lowryder in a 5" by 5" pot. I was originally going to keep it in the 5" pot because LR dont grow much but as the pot size does affect any growth for any plant i decided not to keep it in there. When i transplanted it i noticed there were already quite a few roots already reaching the bottom, so i moved it into a 7" by 7" pot. I would say transplanting your plant is a good idea. If you want the most out of your plant give it the most in return. Thanks for the compliment! I'm in the same situation as you, living with my parents - but i told my mum what it was and now shes fallen in love with it. She even wants to try cookin and smokin it lol:thumbsup:

Yeh that sounds good to me. Remember, to get the most out of cpf's pplace it as close to your plants as you can, i've got mine 2" away. I'm also using miracle grow so thats all good to. LR is an easy strain to grow, and if you've grown before it should be a walk in the park. Good luck with youre grow!

I'm at this stage at the moment also with Lowryder.
Just growing in a cupboard.
I'm very very new to this and would like some comments on how the plant looks so far, and some answers to, I am sure, very basic questions:
The plant is approx 3 weeks old
Do I need to give it some plant feed?
Will I have to transplant, the pots are about 6"?
How will I be able to sex? What difference does it make? Can't I smoke both?
Never smoked from a grown plant, how do I harvest?
As you can see I've also sprouted another.
I told you I was very very new!!!

maryjanehaze
10-07-2006, 02:12 PM
sorry to see that man, ususally a plant will do that in the last week of harvest because its uses lots of energy to make flowers, thus resulting in a slightly yellower or less-healthy leaves. But that looks way too early for that, i'd say it's some kind of defficiency. not sure which though cus i'm not an expert :p however i saw a similar problem in s12 fever's growlog ang he used a banana peel on the soil (don't worry, no harm can come from it, but if the peel starts to turn brown within 24 hours then she's taking in the mg/potassium she was possibly lacking, i'd just try it for a day :thumbsup: )
keep it going though man, even if it gets worse, you'll still have some kind of cola to look foward to.
also, how wide is your plant man (like at the widest point), i'm dying to know cus mine seems pretty damn wide (10 inches...) and i'm running outta room if it continues expanding this rapidly for a couple more week...

10-07-2006, 03:39 PM
I wish my plant was that wide lol its only bout 6 inches wide, but its startin to get taller instead now, at last. Maybe i'll do better on my next grow. Is mine so small because its close to the light and doesnt need to increase in size or sumthin? Although im still pretty happy with it coz its kept its word by being 'low'.:thumbsup:

10-07-2006, 04:35 PM
It could be small just becasue lowryders have different phenos, they can be really small, a bit taller, wider, etc. They all vary, just so happens you picked the small pheno.

Ok heres a recent update, took pics just now. I went though a pretty shit time during the last week because both my lights smashed when i was trying to change them, so i had to buy another and in the mean time i put them on the windowsill, i was just getting worried about my new seedling though because it wasn't getting much light,
- hint - dont bother doin ANYTHING while your pissed off your face on drink lesson learned for me big time:) .
Changed the light to warm white because of my chillis. Any wayz everything is bak on track now...
Am i right when i say its harvest time when 80% of hairs are orange? Theres not many turning that colour yet so it might go beyond the 60 day mark lol ah well i think i can wait abit longer.:thumbsup:
maryjanehaze
10-21-2006, 01:33 PM
that's looking nice and thick/dense man :thumbsup: almost like if you squeezed that big ol' central bud it would pop like a resin-filled water baloon>..uh lol...if i were you i'd be countin the days until 60-63 like a mental patient!
can't wait to see our weigh-ins!

im getting some lowryder seeds from dr. cronic. i am not a complete newbie to growing, but have troble about when to harvest. so when would you harvest the lowryder? will 150 watt hps be enuff for 4 lowryders in a cardboard box with tinfoil all around it? and lowryderulez, did you use any nutrients in the grow? and last but not least, when and how often should i water the lowryder?
thanks alot guys :dance:

Aryt damian, er wel im no expert but i'd harvest a lowryder when 80% pistils turn orange. And yeh a 150wat hps will be enough as ive onlt got a 125 wat envirolite, though won't that produce quite abit of heat in a cardboard box? I'd used miracle grow and fed every couple weeks after seeing first sign of sex, tho i got pist off with the size n fed it abit too much, reason for nute burn. I water mine every 3 days, but have quit watering it now as its near harvest.:smokin:

lowryder rules, how did you get that phenotype? i love that plant so much and you did a great job growing it, but all the other lowryders just look shit compared with that, too tall usually, i was just wondering if you still have any seeds, or know how to get them? if you only have a few seeds, you should grow one and let it carry on growing until it makes seeds, that way you could preserve the phenotype, seriously man, that plant has to be preserved... its beautifull...

lol sorry, I do swear a little too much, as for wanting your plant to be bigger, for a first grow, its allways quality over quantity, and that plant is MADE of quality lol like they say, size dont matter - its how you use it ;)

Cheers man, i dunno how i got it tho just luck of the draw i gess. Yeh some lowryders are lanky shits which shouldnt really be called lowryder. Wot i've done is kept a male lowryder which was one of those little ones in the pics above so i can use the pollen on my next female lowryder and i might pollenate abit of my northern lights. Cheers agen abattoir, u livin in uk too? im south east, are you growing anything atm? O yea lol ive almost run outa smoke already thats the only fukin problem! Piece:smokin:

It really mellows you out as my mate told me from the smoke blowin from the wind, he dnt smoke mj but he lykt the feelin lol:thumbsup:

is that an envirolite your using there, what wattage? i'm using envirolites 2x125w and couldn't help noticing how far your plants are from the lights which my explain there small size(sorry to piss on your fire) mine are 1 cm away from the lights, they don't burn and love it!
Titus Titan
11-12-2006, 04:05 PM
those plants look to far away from the light, i'm using 2x 125w envirolite and i've got them 1.5 inches away this really makes a diffrence,if your familiar with the inverse square law, you will know that twice the distance means 4 time as powerful.So if you put them twice as close, wich i think you could squeeze, you'll be getting 4 times as much light.This is needed when only using a 125 envirolite, it might also explain the small size for there age(sorry to piss on your fire)but apart from that looking good, keep it up.
Titus Titan
11-12-2006, 04:18 PM
Those plants look pretty streched what light are you using? and what ever it is get it closer! they look as if they might need a high nitrogen fertalizer, i recomend fish mix it gives alot of structure to the soil also and has lots of amino acids and vitaimins wich they thrive on, it fucking stinks but it's a bloody good fert.As for repoting i don't think is nesecery, i'm growing in the same size pots and mine are 3 times yhe size.
lowryderulez
11-12-2006, 04:46 PM
kool, yeh im usin 1, 125 wat envirolite and i did put it like an inch away from the light for bout 30 days but not much happendm its because of its pheno, i got other plants growin fine but yeh i will keep em close to get most outa it.
Titus Titan
11-12-2006, 05:01 PM
sorry that last thread was not meant for you, don't know what happend there, but while i'm here might aswell ask if your using any fertalizer also here are a few tips for optimal growth that i have learnt.
1:water with carbonated or sparkling water.
2:airate the soil by poking a nail through the soil and turn the top soil over (careful with the roots)
3: feed it fish mix fert, smells like death but bloody good fert
4:get a bowl of water in there to raise humidity
5:get fan blowing directly on to plants for thick stem(thick stem=thick buds)
6:get more co2 in there by yeast production or keep a candle lit in there,bit dodgy though,hope this helps! :thumbsup:

12-08-2006, 07:08 PM
pezzo - cheers, lowryders autoflowering so i got no choice but to have it in flowering, that was the whole point :)
dope - partly the reason i bought it was for its quick harvest time. seed to harvest in 60 days, so infact i dint harvest early as i did mine on day 64, harvest time is quick for this strain.

No offence but waiting 65 days for about a quarter doesnt seem worth it i just bought some diesel ryder and im glad ive got some white skunk and papaya seeds 2 grow aswell, lowryders are good if youve got some other strains 2 grow with them because by time uve smoked a few lowryders its time 2 harvest the propa buds..
GD luck with the northern lights..
