Just need some answers

[klup]

i decided to re-do my grow and try out some lowryder, but ive got a couple questions.

1. lowryder has no vegetative phase, so i can use say 2700k the whole time?

2. would it be better to use three 85w/ 3000k/ 4200 lumen bulbs or four 55w/ 2700k/ 3600 lumen bulbs?

3. if i hypothetically germinate 4 seeds and get 3 females and 1 male, can i remove the male and one female, pollenate her, then destroy him, and then replace her with the other females without having the other two produce seeds. i just figured i could save some money on seeds this way.

thanks a lot, appreciate any help

Its good to use as much light as possible. And if u wanna pollinate it i suggest that u take just the male out and then collect the pollen when the sacks open up then put it on the female plant itself.

ok thanks, so after its been pollenated by the male, i can put it with the other female/s and not have to worry

I think that there might be one problem with putting the female back with the other females. Why? The reason is simple.

If you over-pollinate the female and some of the pollen gets dropped on the leaves or surroundings of the plant, and you put it back with the other females... Your fan(which I assume you have because most indoor growths use a fan to make the plants stronger and thicker) may dust off the pollen and it might land on another female and pollinate her aswell.

The odds of this happening are pretty small imo, but it's always better safe then sorry =), be sure to wash the plant lightly with a cloth or a sponge to be sure you've cleared all trace of pollen that might have been left over.
