    Hey all! I am new to this forum. I usually use planetskunk but its down for some reason. I am farely new to growing but i have done extensive research on the subject. One topic that still confuses me tho is the nutes. I will be starting up a lowryder grow using 3 x [SIZE=+1]125 Watt Compact Fluorescent
    [/SIZE]    Red spectrum bulbs. I will also be atemting a scrog w/ the LR, just for the hell of it. I have posted many times on many forums about nutes and to no avail I am still confused. What nutes do i use and at what times for the lowryder's?
    What N:p:K ratings do they need. Any help on this subject will be greatly apreciated. Thanks ahead of time to all the GC'ers that may help me.

    Smoke em' if ya got em',

    That thread should help. I don't know why you've had such a hard time finding what nutes to use. They are listed on almost every site related to growing weed, a google search should help you out pretty well.

    20-10-10, and only use a little while the plants are young or you can risk killing them.

    When they are flowering go with 10-30-20

    SO wen there young use a 20-10-10 for a week or so then use 10-30-20 after that? Im confused cause lowryder doesnt have a veg cycle correct. so y use veg nutes wouldnt you just use flower nutes cause its in flowering from the beggining? some one else said to use like a 5-10-5 is that correct? sry for all the confusion i just wanna get it right.

    no listen, get your seedling started then at about 3 weeks you should start feeding it. Keep it on 18/6,to stay simple feed it 1/4 strength alaska fish emulsion and gradually work your way up to 1/2 and see how they react, you will be albe to tell if they want more. So what ever the bottle says, mix 1/4 of that into a gallon of water. Then water as it needs it. Alternate between pure water and fertilizer. You have to keep track of your ph, the fish emulsion will lower it. Get a ph tester and some dolomite lime(to raise ph). It should be at 7. Once you decide to flower it, you put it on 12/12 and change the fetilizer to the flowering fertilizer. To keep it simple you can probably find alaska morbloom at the garden store. Use that start at 1/2 and alternate betweens waterings and work your way up again. Theirs tons of combos, but their both organic and will work well. 2 weeks before your gonna chop it, flush it by feeding it plain water and more often. Thats basicly it.

    Um, unless you bought the actuall plant, you have to grow it. It doesn't just sprout out of the ground flowering.

    So if you buy an already grown plant, thats one thing, but if you are growing a lowryder from a seed, then you need to wait a few weeks untill its gets pretty big before it can even flower. When its ready you also have to force it to flower, it doesn't just begin on its own right out of the seed.

    Dnknuggs, this is an interesting question, since Lowryder is an auto-flowering strain the standard nute formulas may not apply. I don't know the answer and put the question out to those with specific Lowryder experience to chime in here.
