DWC Lowryder - Attitude Seed Bank

[greenearth5]

My seeds came in today and im excited as all hell. I just threw 3 lowrider seeds into germination using the old plate, paper towel, and bowl method. The seeds are assorted and im not sure which ones are which. There are lowrider originals, lowrider 2, diesel ryder, and purple rider. All the lowriders were inside of one small vial mixed up. I also got 2 free feminized seeds (dinafem blue hash & dinafem blue widow.) Hopefully some expert in lowriders can determine which strain is which.

Im going to grow them in a 3 gallon DWC bucket with foxfarm nutes. Ill update with pictures when they sprout

well weather or not they can be identified, im hopeing for females witch is the main priority. im subscribed.
as you get going on this i would like to hear a little about your setup.

good luck

or maybe just check your sig. lol

I have a 150 HPS light that I will be using to start the grow. In a few weeks I'm going to upgrade to a 400 HPS light and i might pop a few more seeds in the rockwool and put them in a different system. My plan is to grow male and female plants so I can pollinate a bud and grow some seeds.

All right green, you must be pretty excited. Did the fire inspection get done so you can start getting set up? Are you going to get a digital ballast? I got my next generation three bucket system dry fitted together last weekend. Make sure to post pics when they pop.

good luck with the lowryders and i have one of the blue widow dinafem seeds too.....i just choped down a white widow last night....trimming is hard work!!!

 

[greenearth5]

Two of the three seeds have sprouted. Im going to wait maybe another 2 days before I put them into some rockwool. No they havent been by yet. I prob should have waited until they already came by. Hey roll im really interested in the dinafem... can you tell me anything about them. Im wondering how i should grow them and if they are feminized (dinaFEM).

Good news guys. All three seeds have sprouted. I will be placing these seeds into 1 in rockwool but i dont know what to do after that. Last time i simply placed them into my bucket system and poured water on them for a week but i want an easier method this time. So I went out and bought a humidity dome a few months back and have never used it (identical to the one in the pic). Would it be a good idea to put the seeds into the rockwool and then into the humidity dome with my 150 HPS above the dome?

 

[Hash Lover]

If you mean to put the seeds in before they sprout then you would want it dark. But I would not put the dome over the seedlings. It will keep the humidity to high and will inhibit growth I believe. It will slow down the water that the plant will uptake. Like with clones, you leave the dome on until you have some roots and then take it off as soon as possible. A few daylight CFL's over the seedlings would be ok to get them started and way less heat than the 150 hps. With my clones, in one place I have them there is only 1 2000 lumen bright white CFL and I can't believe how well they are doing. I got a better veg area set up but it put out to much heat and I can't use it until it cools down in the fall. I was tying up my soil plants today and got some pics. It's been about 6 weeks from 12/12. There looking nice and frosty. I'm hoping for 1 oz + off each of the 8 plants and have 14 more clones to go in when they are done. This strain has been finishing well at 8 weeks and has been the most potent one yet. This is the strain that went purple but don't think I will leave them in that long.

Hey roll, ya trimming can be hard work but we do it for the cause right? I wish all my work was that hard. I enjoy it more when I can be sampling some bud from the last harvest. It keeps me in touch with why I'm going all this.

I just trim till the scissors get to gummed up....scrape them with a razor blade and top a bowl....i love it!!

And greenearth....i just have 1 dinafem blue widow seed....my friend got from his last order....so i dont know much about it....but it looks great in the pic... thats great they all sprouted!!!

What strain is that in the pic hashlover....thats some frosty nugs!!

 

[Hash Lover]

I don't know what strain it is. It's one of the free seeds I got with an order. It was the first seed to pop so I just call it F-1. This will be the first soil grow with it and they look good. I should have a pretty good harvest in a couple weeks. I'll try to get some pics when it starts to turn purple.

 

[greenearth5]

I stuck the little girls into presoaked 5.6 pH tap water and placed it under 2 CFL lights. hopefully they start growing up instead of down like last time. I totally messed up my last 2 grows because i couldn't germinate right. I lost 12 out of 15 seeds because I screwed it up. out of the remaining 3 seeds only one ended up becoming female and that was my blueberry . So if i seem really freakin stressed over this simple germination process then bare with me. Before i put the seedlings into the rock wool they had developed between 1 cm and 3 cm long white roots and still have the seed stuck on the root. What do u all suggest doing now?

 

[Hash Lover]

Try not to keep them to wet or to warm. It's not a bad idea to keep a thermometer next to them so you know for sure they don't get to warm. I like low 70's at the most. That's the problem I've been having with my hydro this summer. But it does not seem to affect the soil plants the same. They do fine while the hydro gets root rot.

BTW roll, I like your new avatar. Been meaning to tell you but kept forgetting. (must be the weed)

Thx i got it from some guys in this thread:

https://www.rollitup.org/dwc-bubbleponics/213108-advanced-stealth-hydro-bubbeponics-thread-12.html

lots of good info you should check it out..you should check it out too greenearth....if you have not already...

As for your seedlings, you will be fine....just go slow and take it easy...i have dam near a 100% success with the seeds i have done....by puttig in a wet paper towel in a dark place....2 to 3 days later they break open and i put them in rockwool when the first root pops about a half inch long....one time waited till the roots were like an inch or 2 and ended up breaking the root and it grew real strange and died.....i get the water right up to the bottom of the pots and a few days later the roots hit the water.....then its all good!!! you got any room for clones??

 

[greenearth5]

I dont think i have any room for clones. I really want to do a big ass grow but im in a public apt complex so I think its best if i only do one bucket at a time. Ill post some pictures of my setup in a minute

 

[Hash Lover]

That thread does look interesting. I'll check it out for sure. It's been a long minute green. It doesn't take much room to start clones. Just a small cabinet somewhere with one small cfl. 2 to 3 sf maybe, and it can be quicker than starting from seed. Plus you know exactly what you are getting. I'll send you some cuttings from my purple plant?
