Rep Power: 6 | | Autoflower Grow-Lowryder 2 and Poison Dwarf
This is my first actual real grow, I practiced for about 6 months before I decided to order seed. I went with auto's mainly so I could be done by Christmas cause I'm going to Va. for Christmas. So I've been growing things for years, but never mj. I am already on day 25 of my grow so may take me a bit to get it all on here-only had my puter since july so ima learnin it also. Here is what i got.
@ bedroom closets-2ft x 3ft x 5ft. Veg cab.- 24inch T5, 4 bulbs 24 watts ea.
Flwr. cab.- 400 Watt HPS--bedroom window A/C--4 in, inline fan.

Rep Power: 6 | | Week 4
First pic is somewhere between wk. 3 & 4, too pretty to pass up. 2nd is LR2, 3rd is Poison Dwarf, check out the difference. Pic taken yesterday, so it's been 29 days since paper towels- am i gonna make it for X-mas. The PD's have more flowers than LR2's.  Forget to tell ya'll usin Fox Farm soil and nutes, 2 PD's are 1/2 FF and Scotts pot. soil as i ran out of FF. Actually the biggest PD is in it. Also had a runt but she's finally kickin in. Ya may see a little nute burn but that's cause the poison dwarfs were so low the leaves were sittin on top of the dirt, i lifted them up when feedin but still splashed a few.

That's a nice setup you've got there. Looks like you've got everything under control, can't wait to see more.

Rep Power: 6 | | Up To Date
OK guys I am about up to date now, should i go back and add necessary info or just start waitin for the questions. I'm already thinkin of lots i should have added but i'm excited and trying to get this done. Including a pic of my best practice plant, moved her outside cause Mom visited, had her in shady spot tryin to hide from neighbors and it rained a lot and i did not know what bud mold was---I know now--- Still got an ounce, I found a plant in friends yard, almost dead, took it home-planted seeds from it and this is what i got--started flowering at 2 wks. veg. and it flowered for 8 weeks inside and a week outside before i caught the mold--trichs were just barely beginning to turn amber when i had to cut it down. To me it was pretty good, but i never had any of what you guys talk about--still it made my teeth numb, my forehead sweat, and got me doin stuff, any info on what it might be would be appreciated. pics are whlole plant,- top,- and bottom. Almost forgot, had seeds on bottom, not many, and no seeds on main cola. Yes I saved some

I practiced cloning on basil, but my mj clones turned out better than my basil ones(not complaining) As far as day 1, I germed 9 seeds, and one LR2 popped in 18 hrs., so i called that day 1, Oct 8

the ones outside look completely different than the others, my PD plants inside have an inch between nodes, the ones outside have 5" or more between nodes-real stretchey--so which is best, short, squat and bushy, or long, tall and lanky??? I figure with a name like Dwarf they should stay short--- all comments

I noticed the same thing. The sun doesn't produce tight internodes like floros do but outside you can grow massive trees that will blow away most indoor yields if you know what you're doing. I'm a fan of short and bushy myself.

The2 single ones are lowryder. In closet are the runt and the Mom, who i brought back in cause she wasn't gettin flowers outside. Can she get pollinated before the flowers show?

-the Corsican. | Yeah man, about 8 in. taller than the PD, and i had the lights really close to avoid stretching, my lights now are less than a foot over canopy, they seem to be able to handle the little extra heat, hell i never even heard of a lowryder few months ago, look at me now | | The Following User Says Thank You to billybudsmoker For This Useful Post: | |
