Lowryder Questions... PICS INCLUDED

these are my babies as on my other post... They are supposed to be lowryders.... They are a few months old already due to having some severe difficulties. They are up and running now, but pretty much still not showing sex... I got the seeds from a friend taken from the picture I took of his plant (my avatar pic). So he says anyway. I am starting to really wonder what kind they are... My question is do you think I can put it into 12/12/ and if it is a lowryder isn't that supposed to cause problems for an auto flowering plant... I have seen a lot of lowryder pics on here, and these seem different... would you all agree??
Much Love
Elway

they are not lowryders m8
cheers all :)

Thanks Buster.....
Do you think I should put them all on 12/12?

since they are not lowryders i would veg them for a couple of weeks let them get a bit bigger befour placing in the flowering cycle
this will give you a better yield whateva they turn out to be
cheers all :)

thanks buster... they have grown a lot since that pic last week but still will wait about another week... I know that there are rules as far as butes and watering when you put them into flowering.... this is my very first grow and if you could tell me that would be great... I am using 10-10-10 right now about 1.3X strength per gallon and some superthrive every third day... they are not having any nute burn issues and seem to love the superthrive...
what do I do about nutes and watering differently??
Thanks buster for all your help....

i will take some updated pics in a minute and put em on too...

here are pics taken a few mins ago.... the big fan leaves seem to be drooping but I think it is being pushed down by all the other growth coming through from the stem....

Nice little grow you have elway07 what ever strain it is.
the pics are missing

i just put em up..... thanks.... im excited...

no worries elway m8
i usually give them there normal vegging food for the first week of the flowering cycle then switch to the flowering food this helps the plant ajust to the new cycle of light it finds itself under,
i feed my plants with the nutes twice a week in between waterings and this works ok for me
to determine if you should water it or not i stick my finger in the top of the soil and if it feels dry at about 2 inches deep then i water
keep an eye on this every time ya enter ya grow room and you should get along ok
hope this helps m8
cheers all :)

It happens.....This is your first grow right? You are doing good
for a first grow.
:thumbsup:

thanks... what are flowering nutes and what do you suggest?

Yes my very first attempt at growing...anything...LOL Thanks...

i would recommend these nutes to everyone
i use canna vega for vegatation
and canna flores for flowering
here is a site m8
www.canna.com
cheers all :)

I give my nutes when I water, so how do you give your nutes in between waterings? Just a small amount into soil or s foliage spray?? Just curious

can I get this Canna here in town at a grow shop or something in the US or do I have to order it?

i use them mixed in with water too
i just have a separate solution made up ready for when i need it then i add mine to the soil untill it fills the tray that the pot is on
cheers all :)

ok so if I have to water mine every three days and I put then nutes in with it... then i do not have to seperate watering and feeding time or should I seperate feed water1 then next time water only?? Ive been half and halfing it... sorry for so many questions... I have come so far with the babies of mine that I would hate to screw something up now... ;-)

If you are going to feed that often make sure to weaken
it. I feed once every two weeks with 20-20-20 during veg.
stage and 10-30-10 (or something similar that has a
higher phosphorus level and lower nitrogen) during flowering
I add Epsom salt every three feedings for magnesium
and sulfur.

Every grower has different ways of feeding.

ok thanks....
it does help... I am aquiring purple in my stems what is that a sign of... a deficiency of some sort yeah?
another question... the one plant that looks droopy from all the growth in between has like 10 shoots or colas I guess. the growth up top has slowed a lot... should I top it?

Make sure you have them on a 18/6 light schedule. Also if they are LR the males well show themselves around day 12-13 and most females by 16-17 days in under any light schedule.

SaH

i thought we decided here that by the pics these are not lowryders..... right??

Ok so one more thing... I have had these on 24/0 light because I thought they were lowryders...now that we have determined they are not, should I put them on a different light regime or should I keep them on that and put it immediately into 12/12 next week or will that shock it too much with having had no dark period really to speak of?? thanks all so very much!
Elway

well basically you have been vegging them under 24 hours of light
i would knock it down to 18/6 for a week or 2 then change to 12/12
cheers all :)

As said, not lowryder. Old news, blah, blah.

Now for some info. During flowering try for a strong Phosphorous (P) and Potash (K) fert mix. If you have been using a high Nitrogen (N) mix then switching to a higher P-K value for flowering will net you some yellowing of the leaves. This is normal and happens a lot. During flowering do not use Superthrive at all. The hormones that ST uses do not help you during flowering. Add sugar to all you watering regimes during flowering cause it is great for anti-stress and helps give bigger fuller buds.

Oh, and if you add Epsom salt for magnesium (Mg) try to get the horticulture variety from you local nursery. Make sure it is fully disolved in your water. You really don't need to add it too often or usually never cause a Mg defeciency is not all that common. Most growers add Epsom salt to their soil mix to avoid possible Mg problems so I suggest doing that for future grows. If you do this water the soil to help the crystals dissolve.

Happy Toking :rasta:

i use dolomite lime which contains Magnesium... would I still need to use epsom salt on top of that during flowering as I haven't during veg. I had a Mag def earlier and corrected that with the lime...

Buster... I am going to knowck it down to an 18/6 today.... I once had to give it complete darkness while I had someone here that could not know I was growing. there were light leaks coming from the closet. She was here like 2.5 hours and when she finally left and I went into the closet to turn the lights back on... a couple of them were real droopy... is that normal during "lights out"?

not really, i would automatically think water !!!!
not enuff or too much, stick ya finger in the soil and determine which one it is
as for the super thrive
you can use this thru out the whole grow with no problems at all ,its more of a personal preference really
ganja plants love superthrive and there is a noticable difrence in the size and quality of the buds when finished ,compared to a ganja plant with out it.
do a quick search on it mobay has had some quite brilliant results when using superthrive
hope this helps elway m8
cheers all :)

thanks... I use the water tester to determine my watering schedule and usually wait until dry before watering again... maybe that particular day I needed to water and hadn't yet or had just watered..... I'll keep an eye on it and keep you posted. I do like the superthrive....a lot and will continue to use it throughout... thanks buster you have been really helpful in making this crop successful in this and my other threads. I really do appreciate it a lot...

you rock buster!

here are a few pics... the yellowing isn't as bad as it looks here...that is due to light... It is yellowing a small amount none the less. the leaves up top are looking very dry as you can see here...no burnt spots etc... I tried to check my oh using both my needle meter ( unreliable) and the pills version ( also unreliable) and got between 6.5-7.0 I watered yesterday and didn't include nutes for the first time in awhile but they looked great this morning. I also started them on 18/6 from 24/0 last night, but as I said they looked great this am... what could be the cause? lights too close? fan on too high? too hot? lack of nutes? Please help.... Thanks guys
Elway

i think 24/0 is supposed to be a lot better than 18/6 for lowryder

actually found it isn't a lowryder and was getting too much light....
anyone else???
