HI, I am a new member here...and new to growing so I would like to share with everyone so I can learn and pass on what I have learned. My motivation for growing is firstly out of love for the plant - mj is a gift and one of many pleasures in life. While I would have preferred to grow a strain that is a bit more potent than LR - lowryder seems to be particularly suited to my current living conditions (small space, not much time before I have to move again). Also, its hard to find any herb to buy around here so I was looking for one that is a fast, easy grower. Hopefully I will get some good experience and buds from this grow! Some background info: Germinated 3 seeds Aug 7 2008. Potted and sprouted around 2-3 days later. Pots: peat pots Soil: "Baby Bio" houseplant compost Light: 2 energy saving lamps (best they had at the hardware store) x1 23w(115w equivalent) x1 75 w equivalent 2 Of the plants germinated well, 1 was a bit weak but I planted it anyway. Im really hoping for at least 1 lady (by the looks of it a 50/50 chance unless #3 gets its act together! At the time of this 1st post my plants have had 1 full week of growth since germination. My first question to the community is - when should I re-pot? And should I re-pot the seedlings in the peat pots (are the roots really strong enough to break through)? I understand Lowryder plants need plenty of soil or will be even smaller than they should be. I will try and keep this thread update with pics and updates (as long as there are those who are interested!) EDIT: 1st fertilization today using "Phostrogen" houseplant food - again best of what they had at the store (its a small town). My gf got me "Marijuana Horticulture" by Jorge Cervantes for my bday and I must give it a glowing review...ive almost read it cover to cover! It will be my reference. Inside it says there is a higher chance of getting females by using a high nitrogen/ lower phosphorus fertilizer. Anybody have any recommendations? My current fert is 14% N, 10% P.
That 4rth pot you may see in the back is a newly germinated "White Berry" fem seed from paradise seeds. My friend told me he was getting a bigger place so if this baby does well maybe she can be a mother plant!
Are these LR #1 or #2.I just planted 5 LR#2 seeds and 1 just sprouted today after having planted it yesterday.
You really only need 5-7 dry liter pots for LR and LR#2 which is about 2 gallons. Looking good so far good luck.
These are lowryder 1 dwarf mix from jnt doc. Thanks, ive just transfered the 2 decent seedlings into bigger pots and got another 230w light. The pots are not 2 gal. but I dont have room for anything that big right now. Perhaps when I move soon. Will have more pics up soon.
