Ok, so I'm germinating right now with bottom heat in a small greenhouse in a better draining mixture. One just popped the surface of the soil an hour or so ago! I think I've found my lowryder germination method.

Peat pellets = bad for lowryder. Northern Lights, White Widow, Mexican Sativa, or Ice don't care, but lowryder definitely does. I'll probably use a better draining mixture for all seeds from now on, regardless of strain. If all goes well, I'll have four popping by the end of the week.

Student - I'll keep you posted and send some pics.
mountainman Reviewed by mountainman on . Lowryder germination problems...urgh Ok, so germination is about the easiest part of growing. I've had near 100% gemination rates with 4 other strains, the only times I lost plants is when they dried out due to stupidity on my part. But, with lowryder I've been having problems that are quite surprising. 4 seeds planted into peat in 6 inch rockwool cubes with DWC and I've found that they pop up slightly, and then just slow down. One has come up, but its cotyledons are all messed up. One other looks like it MIGHT come up, but Rating: 5
