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 growing under a 125watt envirolite in a cabinet. The size of the cabinet is 80cm wide x 45cm depth x 65cm height.

I'm also growing Rainbow Chillis, Cayenne Chillis and Strawberries.

The one tiny problem i'm having is keeping the humidity up. Atm its at 35, is that ok or not?

I'll keep updated, and i'll also show you how my other plants are coping.

I originally put my lowryder outside as i was waiting for my light to come, thats why the first set of leaves are slightly damaged. I'm currently around day 14.

I'm just praying to god that my 1st plant is a female! If its male can i keep the seeds after its times up? and how long will it take for those seeds to be ready for replanting?

Cheeerz!!!

Seeds? What seeds? Seeds from a male and a what? Sorry bud, females make the seeds.

Nice fresh new growth...

Looks abit crappy from the stacked pots but i can't figure another way to get the seedlings as close as possible. The light is fixed to the cabinet so i cant move it down.

[lowryderulez]

Dammit!!! So those balls are just pollen sacks? I thought some how they'd change into seeds, lol. nevermind

I'll grow two next time...

Cheers for info

An easy way to boost humidity is to simply put an open tupperware container full of water near your plants, and keep it full. That's what I do (AC unit sucks all the moisture out of the air), and it seems to help somewhat. It's not as good as a humidifier, of course, but hey, it's easy and cost-effective.

Thanks dude for the advice, i regularly spray my tray and notice how quick it evaporates so i'll try you're idea.

I don't see ventilation system... air in/ air out? maybe it's ok for now, but it will be necessary soon...

hi orange cloud,

Yeh i haven't got any ventilation system, however there is no backboard on my cabinet, dunno why it just came like that, so i'm gonna leave it like that and keep a window open so the cold air should travel downwards and ventilate it - hopefully.

If not i might buy a small bathroom fan and fix it into the top right and make a hole on the bottom left or something and close the backboard with mylar.

Any other suggestions and ideas on what i could use as ventilation would be great.

I dont think you can see it very easily on this picture but i'm seeing alot of green and no white hairs. I'm thinking its a male because theres two ballish looking things coming out on the beginning of every leaf.

I'm gonna wait a few days longer to see a clearer view of it.

No, those are probably just new growth shoots. Cannabis plants do not mature sexually for 3-4 weeks after sprouting, so unless it's some kind of mutant plant, it should not be exhibiting any signs of its sex just yet.
