it's natural. the plants suck the nitrogen and energy out of the fan leaves and they die off.. don't sweat it.

I ordered from Additude regardless of what anyone else says about them. I have placed 4 orders and all 4 have shown up with my exact order plus the freebies each time. I like them.

As for yield I'm not sure seeing that the only folks Ive seen grow this strain are right here in this thread and I believe I'm the furthest along?

The odor is very minimal I have no odor protection and you cannot smell these ladies out of my grow space. I only have a fan blowing the hot air from around the plants.

You are the furthest along that I know of. I germed 2 on the 3rd, one had a tap root on the 4th and in soil on the 5th. The other never generated a tap root.

The one I put in soil poked its head shortly after, grew to about a half inch, real crooked and very dark, purple in color. That one died on the 12th.

In the meantime I germed another seed on the 8th, in soil on the 10th, and is doing ok now. Only 1 leave though? cotyledon I think they are called. The other is brown and wilted and dried up around the seedling, I think. It could be some of the shell but I am nervous to try and pick it.

I germed another one on the 12th and has a tap root right now so it will go in soil at some point soon.

You have no idea how much this thread has helped me. I have read a ton on here but this one thread has helped me immensly, thanks!

My xmas tree is doing that same thing.. hairs turning from white to orange.. They do grow crazy fast. My short bush has FAT ass buds forming with very little trichs whilst the xmas tree has little popcorn buds and is coated in trichs all over it. it's just weird that 2 of the same genes are complete opposites.

I honestly think that the seeds are crappy bro. I only bought these cuz they were cheap (10 female for 60 bucks shipped) I probably will never buy or grow these again after my last 2 seeds are in the soil.

I'm glad my thread has helped you along. If you weed through the bullshit you can learn alot on this site.

i heartmj, would you recommend the green-o-matic strain, say when compared with lowryder 2, considering the price difference..? i am going to do an auto setup, with plants in 2 rows of 8, and plant each a week apart, hopefully resulting in a small closet producing about 50g of bud everyweek. i am just waiting on my paradise sensi star finishing then its all go :D do you think the 2 x 8 plants, with each collumn of 2 a week apart, is practicle? also im new to rollitup :)

yeah i know what your saying about the genes, whats even weirder is the fact that between your plants and mine theres 3 different phenos...i really think greenhouse need to stabilize this strain lol the growth is the opposite for me cos my xmas tress are a little behind and the short ones have the fat buds and frosted leaves...although that cant be a bad thing cos i estimate that theres gonna be a few days difference with each plant when i come to chop them ..some will be ready before the others yet they were all planted on the same day..Which means hopefully it should make the end product last longer lol

welcome to RIU.

I have never grown LR2 before so I can't compare the GOM to the LR2.. however I have grown the White Dwarf by Buddah Seeds and I really liked that strain. comparing the WD and the GOM I'd have to take the WD anyday of the week just based on growth and looks. I haven't smoked GOM yet so can't comment on the smoke either. Going on just looks and growth I'd choose the WD over the GOM.. BUT price wise I'd go with GOM. just my opinion.

2 rows x 8 plants all a week apart? easier said than done. you need to factor in the germ rate and the male/female ratio. I have 6 plants going right now all one week apart and it's a fucking bitch to maintain. I'd rather grow all at the same time. which is what I'm doing when my next 400w comes in.

I'm telling you right now that there's no way you will get 50 grams off each GOM. again.. my opinion. good luck and feel free to ask any questions.

Just looked at my plants this morning..
My xmas tree looks like it will be finished in another week or so.. the hairs are turning orange and the buds are getting more dense. they are just tiny popcorn buds. but like I said before I will take it week by week and see what happens.

My short bush has gotten HUGE ass buds starting to formand they are getting nice and thick and dense as well. looks like at least 3 weeks on that one left.

post some more pics of your girls I'd like to take a look at them.

They are coming along pretty nicely.
My GOM seeds just arrived today.
my grow case isn't set up yet tho.
I'm hoping to have it set up sometime this weekend.
this is the only GOM grow I've seen that is this far along.
It's nice to see what i can expect.
cant wait to see what kind of weight you get out of them.
