After their re-plantings in a higher quality soil of promix and worm casings, they have been gaining their color back adn losing their red under leafs. The first lowryder boy showed his sex, and he was given the chopping block. Very odd to see the sex so early, I guess I didn't believe it would do as advertised. I swapped out the 175Watt for the 400 with an AgroMax Metal Halide bulb.. I thought the 175 was bright? Ha! The 400 is bright and hot. Home made cool tube coming soon... temps are right around 78 in the air, the temperature probe in the soil reads 85, though the plants have a fan blowing directly on them. So as it stands, I have one female lowryder, one un-sexed lowryder and six un-sexed Original Northern Lights.
Pic one: Lowryder BOY ; Pic two: the larger plant in the back left corner is the oldest Northern Lights. The big plant next to it is the female Lowryder. Pictures three and four are the big NL and the last pic is the female ryder.

So, the lesson learned is, dont use hyponex soils! Soil run off Ph was high and my plants exhibited slow growth and from what I could tell, deficiencies of all sorts, even with Ph adjusted water. Just steer clear.
johnny h Reviewed by johnny h on . Second Grow - Cab - 400W Lowryer and Northern Lights Well, this is my second grow attempt. Room mates and housing has had me buying all my smoke since the first grow. I have bought bank seed for this one after all that I learned from the bag seed raised before. I wanted something that would finish fast and something stronger that can finish on its own sweet time, so I got a lowryder mix pack by the Joint Doctor and Northern Lights on sale by kc brains. The first batch of seedlings failed except for two plants, which are obviously the larger in Rating: 5
