First grow, berate me.

[whisky]

its doing fine, the small size is due to it being lowryder i guess. since it hasnt shown balls yet and lowryder goes right into flower from seed i guess that should be a female just in her last days before showing pubes and where flowering begins ... ( my amateur guess ).. you might want to get another light in there..somewhere :jointsmile:

Anyway, about 5 weeks into the grow... it's looking pretty poor. What do the experts think? http://gallery.cannabis.com/data/500/medium/100_0316.jpg Rating: 5

looks great. no nut deficiencies or burns, and plenty of foliage. itll grow a foot or more during flowering probly, so dont worry bout heigt

whats it likely to yield? I'd be happy with 15 grams

[CannabisCarl2134]

Yield is determined on Lights/ing, Nutes, etc.. It looks fine to me, my friend's lowryder is about that size and is only 4 weeks into veg. IMHO I would find a wider space, that looks a little narrow, and you can see the leaves resting against the back of your box. Otherwise it looks great, and hope for female.

I have read, and heard that when doing the 12/12 cycle, for 1 hour have your timer turn on the lights, and there is a better chance it will be Female.

What Nutes are you using?

One last thing, when its time to harvest, the "Wet Buds" Might way a lot, but guaranteed its going to weigh 75% less.

if you want 15g, youll hpefully be in for a nice surprise. assuming you veg it for another 2 weeks, youll probly pull just uner an oz (28g)

klondike It is a autoflower strain....its done when its done

[Gundari]

Not to out right contradict what carls saying, but DO NOT turn your lights on for an hour in the dark period, that stresses and confuses the plant and you usually end up with a hermie. That may not apply in this situation since lowryder is autoflowering and i know nothing about autoflowering plants, but id rather be safe then sorry.

As for berating you, man that looks great for a first grow! Much better then my first grow looked at that age.

Only thing i could suggest (as i know jack crap about hydro growing) is going with a little LSTing so you can get that plant to bend towards the back of that stealth pc box and thereby using your space to its maxium.

Oh yea, if possible mind giving us a shot of the computer case all closed up and stuff? Im toying around with the idea of buildling a stealth computer box to put some clones in or start seedlings in before i move'em over my rubber maid box.

why are u guys putting lowryder on a dark period....they will bud with 24 hours with the lights on

[klondike_bar]

uhm...that sounds very odd. i believe autoflowers will indicate that they are mature, but require the 12/12 or similar periods. otherwise it wouldnt match up with many natural flowering periods in the wild and would die off without offspring

[50ul }{4ck3r]

lol WRONG....

"ndoors, Lowryder completely eliminates the need to induce flowering by reduction of day-light hours; indeed, it eliminates the need for a timer, period. Yes, it will grow consistently well and finish under 24 hours of light, from sprouting to harvest, in eight weeks. The point is, with Lowryder, there is no need for a change in the light period to induce flowering, nor is it necessary to have separate vegetative and flowering rooms."
