Lowryder Questions... PICS INCLUDED

[SaH]

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.

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

[elway07]

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!

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

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"?

[busteruk7]

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

[elway07]

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...
