Auto Loveryder Stealth Grow

[wombat68]

Hi,
this is my first grow and I was wondering if you could give me your opinion on how it is "performing".
I have planted Auto Loveryder of Bulkseedbank (its a lowrider 2 they have told me in the shop).
Its an indoor stealth grow, i am using an old PC-tower together with LED and one seed and she is growing insanely - I never expected to have a plant of this size from one seed within this short period of time.

Its now appr. day 40, she has been flowering for about 2 weeks and I am recognizing some coloring on some leaves. Not sure if that is just normal, or if she is missing something. Maybe not enough nutrients?

I am using tomato-nutrient (NPK is 6.7 + 7.0 + 10.5), but really very little and I have started with it some days ago. Since about the same time, also the coloring started (see image).


What do you think? Is she in well condition?

According to the guy in the shop, it should be ready to be harvested in about 20-27 days (8-9 weeks total). Is that realistic?

Thanks.

Wow, so you think it will take another 9 weeks? I understood lowrider2 will be around 9 weeks from seed to harvest.
As it is now appr. 5 weeks old, it shouldn´t take more than 4 weeks until harvest.

Have you seen the brown ends of some leaves? You can see it on the first & second image. Is that normal?

Yeah, sorry Wombat but she ain't making full buds in 4 weeks.

I'm not sure but that girl isn't going to be finish soon, that's a fact.. yes, maybe it can be done, but autoflowers can be stunned, over watering,low temps,nute burn, every grower mistake prologues her harvest time..Another thing is most breeders lie about harvesting time and if they dont it's statement for perfect growing..
It looks to me like nute burn...Too much nutrients..

this is bud in his 3rd week of flower or +/- a week..
this buds are near harvest in their 8 or 9th week of flower..

Now compare it to your plant..

Thanks CikaBika, yes you are right. Very unlikely she will be ready in 4 weeks. Lets see, how it goes on.

What about smell? As this is my first grow, I dont have experience with it. I am using an active carbon filter to reduce smell, but still - when I come into the room in the morning, i recognize a strong smell. Maybe because during the 6h night period, where the light & fan is off, the smell is getting out unfiltered.

So this is the pre-flowering, or early flowering stage. Will that smell increase substantially? I have chosen the Loveryder because I read about it that it is not smelling so much and therefore quite suitable for a stealth grow. But if that smell gets stronger or even more like a Marijuana-smell, i definitely need to change something....

buy your self extension cord and plug air extractor on it and keep always your outtake air ON.. I never ever turn off my ventilation. I really dont know how much low ryder smell, but It will smell, how much I dont know? But if it's only plant It should smell too much..
I had some really heavy stinkers (4 aSSED MONKEY) and when they were in tent they were low smell.

we are talking about ventilation with carbon filter ...

Hi,
here is an update about my little grow. Seed was planted Apr 13, so she is now 8 weeks old. According to the forum here, it will take until end of July, until I can harvest although I can´t imagine that it will really take another 6 weeks.

I have to cut away leaves on a regular basis - otherwise I couldnt keep the grow under control in the PC-tower. But to me, she looks pretty healthy and the buds are starting to grow. There are so many buds growing - i assume she will have many buds, but they will stay small?

What do you think? How is she doing?

They look good man coming along nice ! You still got a little time left, there’s something going on with one of the underside of the leaves in the one pic. How much n is the plant receiving right now?

As stated .... at a minimum ... 60 days from transition to flower . Low Ryder’s stay compact so you are good there.

Smell will increase as it matures. Regardless of scrubber ... the odor will be noticeable in the ambient air. They will often become more aromatic during lights off .

Feed looks pretty good as they seem uniform in color and not super dark , or burnt.
Autos are fairly easy feeders as they are quick growing plants. I would keep feed the same.

I am using this tomato-stuff only, and from this, i am using only half of what the description is saying, nothing else.
I think the spots are probably from being to close to the LEDs? I have to cut away leaves regularly, otherwise you wouldnt see a ligh in there anymore...

Hi! Here is an update of my little grow. Its now about 2 months and 10 days since seed. I tried to identify some trichomes through a microscope. So far I can say, they are all still clear. What do you think, how do they look like? Will it need another 5 weeks? Thanks.
