Here's my first Lowryder #2 indoor mini-grow
I have very little experience growing indoors, this experiment has been based on other peoples' indoor mini-grows. This is just my version of the combination of the many others, much respect to those that have opened my mind and shared their ideas
I've already grown the first generation through so as to produce seeds for future grows, unfortunately it only yielded ~200 seeds, 40 of which I've given away to friends. The remaining bud got rolled up
into some joints that disappeared quite quickly (sorry no photos of those). This really just began as a side project during the winter to keep myself occupied. I enjoy growing outside far more than growing indoors, it just feels like the best light is provided by the sun allowing the girls to reach their full potential. . .
Anyway here is the specs on the grow (this may get long-winded
):
I started about 25 seeds a few weeks ago and have already plucked 5 males. They are planted in 4x4x4in pots. The growing shelf is 36x14x16(h)in.
The medium contains: 36% perlite, 28% vermiculite, 21% peat moss, 7% sand, and 7% volcanic scoria. yes yes thats only 99%...
The lighting for the 3sqft of grow space consists of 8x 26watt bright-white CFLs and 4x 24watt soft-white CFLs. They're on 18hours a day.
Below this shelf sits a chamber of the same size that I use for starting seedlings and clones, but thats another story.
I use two high power computer fans to exhaust the hot air out the back of the chamber, and one to blow air in from the great outdoors (its close to a window).
I water the plants from the bottom up, but drain the medium with water before I do so. Every other time I flush the plants I'll add a capful of H2O2. I place the plants into a watering tray and pour in one gallon of water and let them soak it up for about 6 hours. I began giving the seedlings 1/4 dose of shultz all purpose and Alaska Morbloom. Into each gallon I also put in a drop of Superthrive
, 1tbs root stimulator, and a 1/2tsp pH down.
With that being said, now we can all wake up and shake off that all-to-pleasant sleepy feeling!

Feel free to leave any comments/tips/suggestions/and advice, etc!
Here are some photos so far:
The date is incorrect, but eh... whatever
there's only 10 in this tray, I'm starting a some more seedlings in the chamber below.
Thats the biggest girl, shes about 3weeks, the rest are her age or younger. About half are female, I still have 5 unknowns, and 5 males are gone.
peace
and much love

I've upgraded my equipment a little since last spring and I'm ready to grow some more of this beautiful strain.
