Lowryder 2, not 1st grow but 1st dwarf grow
Hi,
OK I already started a grow log for this but I entirely changed my setup after being gifted a 125w CFL so I've decided to start the log again in the interests of keeping it accurate.
Again I would like to thank all the contributors to this forum, I really haven't had to look much else where for any answers and all other forums I checked out didn't seem as great as this place.
My setup is a 3ft x 2ft x 22" cupboard. I'm using a 125w 2700K CFL light.
I have an 8cm active exhaust and an 8cm passive intake. There is also a 10" fan for circulating air inside the cupboard.
I have germinated 2 seeds by simply planting them in soil in degradable pots placed under a plastic propagator lid, this was done on the 16th, both seeds have broken the surface today (19th).
Once the plants have been potted into some larger trays I am going to start photographing them from the same angle, with the same area of focus and as similar of lighting quality as possible at least every second day and once the grow is complete I will make this into a few seconds long stop motion movie. :smokin:
Sorry for starting this grow log twice but I really want to keep it as accurate and as detailed as possible.
Thanks again to everyone who posts here.

Lowryder 2, not 1st grow but 1st dwarf grow
OK, it was 5 days ago I planted both seeds. One seed is now an inch tall plant while the other is a little shy and still hiding in its shell, it has germinated and I can see a little green trying to pop out from the top. If by tomorrow the plant hasn't managed to pop its casing I'll probably help it manually and if it looks too weak or damaged to be worth continuing I'll start another (I really hope this isn't the case)
If the second seed does pop out tomorrow I'll also pot their degradable fibre pots into larger plastic trays. I figure since the grow box is so small height wise that hopefully a wider and longer tray will work ok instead of a deep pot.
If that is the case I'll try and get the first photos up.
5 days gone only 55 to go till :S5:

Just a quick update.
The weaker seed has successfully popped out of its casing and looks fine.
Not going to bother to re-pot them until the weaker plant has had a day or so to strengthen up.
Will make a point to get some pics up before the weekend.

Lowryder 2, not 1st grow but 1st dwarf grow
Day 8 since planting seeds, time for the first pic!
As you can see one of the two is a little bit behind the other but I'm still glad that it manged to emerge and that I didn't have to start another seed.
You can also see that I ran out of soil before I managed to properly fill both trays, I hope to get that sorted by the start of next week.
I think once the plants start to flower (around 20 days?) I'll add in a 70w hps light for occasional additional light - I'll only be able to run this while I can leave the box doors open due to heat issues so at most it'll be 6 hours a day and some days not at all. Can anyone say if this uneven extra light could in some way adversely affect the plants?

Lowryder 2, not 1st grow but 1st dwarf grow
Borrowed a digital thermometer last night, with the box closed for 3 hours the temp rose to 30c (86f). I'm a little worried that when the box is sealed for 8 hours at a time that the temps might be rising a bit too high. I read that 70f-80f is optimal, not too sure how much a variation of +10f to 20f or so may make... any thoughts?

Lowryder 2, not 1st grow but 1st dwarf grow
I'm interested to see how this will go. I'm planning a Lowryder/Ak-47 grow soon in a similar space. I think I will be using CFLs as well. I'm curious on the wattage needed per lowryder with a CFL. I will be growing 4 at once. Also, is there any difference in wavelengths you need to be aware of here using CFLs?

This is the Santa Maria version I'm growing.
I'll admit I was a little put off by some of what I read but I think some folk grew with way inferior setups and blamed the genetics for the weak harvest/potency...plus it often seemed to be the original Lowryder not LR2 that was being discussed.
If going for the 4 I think you'd need at least 2x125w to get a nice harvest.

Lowryder 2, not 1st grow but 1st dwarf grow
Hey folks,
I've been sick as a dog for the past few days... really not been keeping a decent schedule.
The bigger of the two plants is doing well but the smaller one is taking a very long time to get going. The second pair of 'weed like leaves' have emerged but it's been over a day since I could see them and they haven't grown at all.
Hoping the runt picks up a little otherwise I'll be a bit disappointed in it

If vegging only has another 7 days or so then I can see this being one weak ass harvest
I think next time I'll invest in one or two 15w fuzz led lights to see what sort of a difference that'll make.
