p.s. anybody got a good name?
yeah, lowryder
Looks pretty good, but seems kind of behind for 35 days in flowering, don't you think?
It looks great though, but it seems it should be farther along than that. May I ask what kind of ligthing you are using? If that'd sone just by the window, great job, but for best results, either do it outside in the direct sunlight, or use indoor lighting.
When I started growing I would grow LR's from seed to harvest within 8 weeks. Only got about 14g's per plant, but a great way to starty and hey, free bud. :p
my gal's 35 day total from the day I put the seed in the ground. Not sure if you assumed that or not :p .
Yeah, I'm using an 80 watt flourescent tube (those 2-foot long ones) in a closet 24/7, and the excess light from the ends gives extra light to the sides of the plant so that's good I think. But I got a question. When do buds with plant matter usually start forming, like on the branches and everything?
Because I know at first females make only clusters of pistils like the branches in my pics, but I'm not sure when/how thick bud grows along the branches and everything?
Any hints??? thanks by the way bro
Oh, 35 days from start to finish, now that sounds more right. :p
Keep in mind you are using only 80W of lights, so don't expect massive, thick ass buds. :)
What happens usually is when the plant starts flowering, the top and lower budsites stretch out big time, which they did (judging by your pics), then, you usually see the first few pistils coming from the top, then the plant spews out hundreds of these little white hairs. Yours is just starting that now and that will continue for a while more.
During the last 2 weeks of life is when the plant packs on most of her weight. That's when the buds swell up and ripen, and that's when you will see much more plant matter than little white hairs. It starts growing the white hairs, then those white hairs form plant matter (the flower, 'bud') inbetween all those white hairs, forming a bud.
So to answer your question simply, during the last 2 weeks of life is when you will see the plant matter really showing through the buds.
I havent really seen much Low Ryder plants but that has to be the tallest Low Ryder I've ever seen. Where'd you get the seeds from? I definitely want some of 'em, that plant size is perfect.
You can get LowRyder from most seed banks, and with adequete lighting, the plant grows no more than 1.5ft in height. It's great for cramming a whole bunc of them into a little space, but the downfall is the low yeild. They usually yeild no more than 14g's a plant.
14gs dry weight or wet?
Dry wieght of course. :)
I neber weigh my buds wet as it is pointless. Wet buds lose up to 80% of their dry weight anyways, so I just wait until they are dry.
I said up to 14g's, so some people may only get 5 g's using 100W of floros, while some will get the maximum yeild using a 150Whps bulb for example, so it all depends on the lighting and care the grower puts in.
