lowryderulez Reviewed by lowryderulez on 09-22-2006. 1st Thread, 1st Grow, 1st Lowryder! Bonjour everyone, This is gonna be the journal of a newbie. I'm currently growing my first ever maravingeon! I've been reading and researching on this website for about two months and feel as though i've already grown thanks to you guys. I've decided to go for the lowryder strain from its size and hardiness. The only experience i've had is growing hemp which went pretty well only i found out after destroying them that i had three males and one female. (not that i give a crap) I'm Rating: 5

ok, i've finally planned out my ventilation system. As i don't want to damage my cabinet by putting holes in it, i plan on using mdf and closing off the back of the cabinet. I will use foil and stick it onto the mdf.
Cool air is going to come in from the bottom left which is where a 3 inch mini box fan will go.
The warm air will rise and exit at the top right hole.

Here are some pictures to show you what i mean.
I have one question.

Where do i cut the adaptor so i can connect the wires with the fan? Just after the cylinder thing or before? Thanks peepawl:smokin:

Heres what i'm gonna use -

That Intake Outtake system Is very Similar to my Cabinet and it works well I use the same type of Computer Fan. I also have a little Carbon TruAir filer which has a little fan on it. to move air around. Those style comp fans are around 100cfm. The Carboard Box setup is awsome duder... I wish I could do that but I dont have a house so No Basment to hide that kind of setup I had to do somthing A Little more steath for my Downtown Condo Style ap.t.

check it out.

i'm liking your grow man :thumbsup: , it's giving me a really good idea of what to expect from my sprout. you've got 2 weeks on mine there, we should compare our incomes in the end dude

Yeha forsure Mang... My plants are at week 6 total. day 6 flowering

im noticing that in the flower chamber the side lighting is causing the plants to grow into the light. and keep touching the bulb I might put the [;astic cover back onm to stop the leafs from touching the actual bulb but then i will lose some lummes Id bet.

I should have put my plants into flower earlier cuz they are gonna end up being to big for that space I can already tell. Ohh well Ill figure it out.

What is your soil mix mang? Im thinking of trying coco next time. I can get it easier

Today was the day I transplanted my plants to bigger pots.
The cayenne and bolivian rainbow chillis are doing pretty good as well atm.

I've also started out germinating some strawberry seeds.........and another lowryder :thumbsup: using some moist kitchen tissue and putting it in an airtight baggie.

My backboard with the ventilation fan is kinda like half done. I bought the wrong fookin adaptor which really pissed me off, but i'm ordering the right one on ebay.

Anyway heres a few more pictures to show where i'm at now.
ps - baggie and fan can just be seen bottom left (fan backboard not actually attached yet which is why its so low down):smokin:

Heres how the temp/humidity is going.
O yea, and i'm using 80% multipurpose soil from B&Q with 20% perlite

ur lowryder's looking real good man, and compact, though w/ 35 days to go it still has lots of time to get up to that 12-15" range :thumbsup:

thanks man, i really want it to start accelerating now.
I can't see why it shoudlnt now. tizgot a big pot and i put it about 2 inches away from the light using a few videos to adjust height.

It'll be awesome to see how your lowryder turns out. Can't wait to see our ryders by the end.....and to get a taste of our grow!!hmmmmmmmm:smokin:

Though i got a gut feelin you'll get more yield.
best of luck with your grow mate.:thumbsup:
