Lowryder 2 - 2nd Grow

1st male sighted and tagged. Right on schedule. Last time it was day 16...but good news, a girl. Not so much this time. 1 down. 3 to go. I'll keep the male for a couple more days, for 100% i.d....though photo speaks for it self. Shouldn't be enough time to release pollen.

I have an address listed in my User CP...you can't contact me through that? Sorry, but I really don't use most features of this site...

Try weeding through this and see if it gets past Big Brother: looseid at hot something or other dot com.

I'd rather just buy the weed than grow it if its only going to yield that much. It's small, so I was planning on just using a small pot to grow it in.

Light is light. I don't think there is anything different with the light coming in the windowsill, than the light shining outside. I was planning on putting the plants outside too, but its risky if my neighbors see them. The folks work during the day and since it was summer, it would be great for me.

Damn this fucking sucks. Man, I just wanna grow some damn plants and I can't grow any decent strains with high THC because I have to configure the light cycle which requires electrical work if I want to grow indoors, and plus the fuckers will be like 10 ft tall if grown outdoors and there is no security. Outdoors would be best if I could just do it on my patio or something with big huge pots for each plant.

FUCK, but I'll try it out and see what happens.

If you have a safe windowsill I say try it, and see what you get. :thumbsup:
You should be able to use CFLs without any electical coniguration...just a power strip, desk lamp(s) and a grounded outlet, preferably.
The sun is umpteen times more powerful outdoors than inside through the glass. You should notice a lot more squinting if you go from inside to outside in direct sunlight, or if you take a photo with exposure locked...try it indoors then out and notice how much more of the photo is blown out!:wtf:
As I say all that, who knows...I've never done a windowsill grow, but like I said, try it. Just don't dismiss lowryder 2 if you the results aren't what you like!
So far, my biggest peeve is the male/female/hermie ratio :(

...I drew a box around what I'm almost certain are male pre-flowers.

Hard to see but it does look like a male preflower to me , you can give it a couple more days if you want to be 100% certain. It amazes me how quickly lowrider's show preflowers.

OOPS!

Another male sighting today :( Now down to 2. Readying reinforcements...it will give me a chance to test offspring seed, anyway. Safety in numbers :thumbsup:

Also, I watered the remaining 2...6th watering, not including spray misting the 1st few days.

ok if you still have that other male in soil.
try and put it under a glass or clear dome to let the males sacks ripen just
enough to collect and save so you can pollinate a small bud on the Female and get some more FREE LR seeds for future grows of LR.

I have heard that the home growers are doing that these days. so they won't have to buy there seed off the net. and there seeds would have good growing genes.


and I don't know if this realy helps or not but if it does then cool.
and if not then cool also.

thanks, I have a few hundred seeds from my last grow...

Here's one for the books...4 males out of 4 sprouted...:mad:

So, here's the breakdown of my results from Lowryder 2 seeds bought from Growshop Alien:

1 female
1 dud
1 crushed
7 male or hermaphrodite

Word of advice...mate them for seed right away!

I'm starting my next batch tomorrow. seeds soaking as I write.

Signing off...but I shall return!

that it just wrong anf very bad luck but dont let it get you down we have all had something go wrong here or there, try again and hope for the best.

That is some shit luck! And just mean.
Here's to hoping you get all fems in the next batch!

Thanks guys, yeah I think fate just dealt me a bad hand, because the plants looked happy...oh well...starting my next batch already...

I'll keep taking pictures and notes but may not post until I can confirm females...don't need another failure broadcast to the world!

Keep it green!

Sorry loose but hopefully the next grow will turn out better please keep us posted! Do you think maybe they were bad seeds from the company?

:stoned:
-kid-

I don't think the seeds were bad...just my luck was. The seeds, except for 1 dud and 1 other that was crushed, all sprouted within 3 days of plopping straight into soil...no paper towels or anything. I've started a new crop with offspring seed, but so far only 4 of 8 have germinated after 3 days.

I will definately keep you all posted...

Did you get all your seeds from breeding?
I'd guess so as it's expensive enough for 10 seeds. lol

Ok, so how many seeds did you get from the 1st try? :)

Dizzy, I'm still plucking seeds out as I smoke the approx. 1/4 oz it yielded. Some are mature, but most left in the bud at this point are under-developed...soft, light-colored and crush easily.

Originally, I got over 500 hundred! They filled a film canister more than 3/4full, but then I chucked all but the darkest, firmest and plumpest...leaving what I'm guessing is still over 300.

I started a batch on Sat 5/19...so far 4 out of 8 have sprouted or shown signs that they want to.

Youch, that's alot of plucking! lol
Still got my fingers crossed you pull out the ganj this run.

thanks dizzy, I'm actually happy to report 4 new LR2 babies alive and kicking.

Sprouted in 4 days instead of 3 like last time...also lower germination rates so far.

Just happy to see the seeds work...now I've finally witnessed the miracle of life come full circle...so happy!

I just had 4 lowryders sprout on me this week,,,, They are for outside on my balcony, 2 in Coco and 2 in Peat basewd soil...

This is my first time trying Lowryeder... How soon can you usually spot female or Males?

Im thinking about making Seeds so I dont have to buy these again but Im not sure how good of a strain it is anyways. they are only 60CAD for 10 here ion TOronto as well so its not really a wallet breaker... I went 4 for 4 on Sprouting

kd

kd, I've seen them as early as 16 days, but around 20 is commonly reported...check earlier in this thread...I gave a day-by-day pictoral account up to about day 18...also, check out my friend's grow for an estimate, using CFLs:

http://boards.cannabis.com/cannabis-...ryder-2-a.html

I agree, where's the pics?

what were you air :question:temps, i couldnt make out the thermomater reading in the previous thread?

The temps were always steady and reasonable, considering the plants were almost touching the lights...76 - 82F.


I forgot to follow up. I gave the 4 or 5 seedlings to a friend who's just starting out. It's been keeping me busy off site. BUT, I have 3 going now bak home. I planted the seeds, left them on a bookshelf and forgot about them over memorial day weekend. When I came back they were about 5 inches tall, stretched waaaay out looking for light. So, I transplanted them to 1 gallon pots and buried the stem to make them look normal. That probably set me back a few days while they were taking root. Luckily, no shock. But I didn't get pics of them. If any of the ones I have going now turn out female, I'll continue a daily report...I don't even know what day they're on. I'll have to refer to my other pics for a guess.

If you have any questions about Lowryder 2 grown in soil under CFL, shoot me a question. I had a good grow...once!

Hess...I haven't forgot, it's just that I don't go to post offices much anymore!
