    G-13 x buddha and Lowryder #2 grow

    Leave the yellowing leaves. They turn colors as the plant sucks thier nutrients. Cut them when they turn crispy/dry. Your plant looks really good. It is going to yeild a ton more than a typical lowryder with all that veg time. Maybe I should not be referring to it as a Lowrdyer at this point...

    150w lowryder#2/ LR2 x AK47 grow

    Are all those pics taken with the HPS on or off. Just askin because the leaf color looks light green. Mine were that color due to the light being too low and bleaching the small plants. Color improved after lifting the lights about 4 inches. How about a pic from a little farther back so we...

    G-13 x buddha and Lowryder #2 grow

    i was guessing it would be female due to its size. Glad to hear it. I Started out with 6 seedlings and ended up with only 2 females. Getting tired of chopping males Lowryders. My last grow was just the opposite with almost all females.

    G-13 x buddha and Lowryder #2 grow

    Don't know how long until harvest after going 12/12 because I have only grown lowryder and they have always autoflowered. I have completed about 5 grows and had no problems. I would guess about 8 weeks.

    what light do you recomend?

    Agree with the HPS. If you are going to start this as a hobby then go HPS because you go CFL initially you will likely switch to HPS for the better results so why not start out right. I started off CFL and switched during my first grow. I spent alot on CFLs and regretted it in the end because I...

    Top Tips for the Noob Grower

    If your growing in a small space buy a bigger vent fan than you think you need. That was my biggest mistake. I finally got it right on my 4th try which cost me big. Trying to save money ended up costing me in the end.

    OLH Optimum Light Hight Question: 250HPS Vented

    I put mine a few inches away and it bleached the leaves. I grow dwarfs (lowryder2) so that may not happen with regular plants. Move the light up to about 7 inches above the top and the bleaching corrected itself. You may not mind a little bleaching at the top if it gets the light down further...

    Germination techniques for optimum results??

    I have found the best method ever recently, well maybe not the best ever, but close. I used pete pellets and set them in a babywipe warmer on top of a few layers of wet paper towel. I had 3 inch sprouts when I checked it 3 days later. Keeps temps about 98 degrees. Had to get inventive when the...

    G-13 x buddha and Lowryder #2 grow

    It's way to long to not see any flowering. I would get another seedling started. I'm worried you may not have an autoflowering plant there. You can also go to 12/12 lighting to flower whatever it is your growing. It looks healthy from the pics so I don't think it is anything you are doing wrong.

    G-13 x buddha and Lowryder #2 grow

    Have not noted any change in electricity, but then again I don't pay much attention. Can't be that much though.

    NooB here :)

    Plenty of PC grows posted here. I recommend you read a few as several people have had some impressive micro grows. The ones that fizzle off likely failed so avoid those obviously.

    Noob didn't flush nearly enough.

    Water curing removes the chlorophyll faster than the jar curing method. Chlorophyll gives you the hay smell and shifty taste and the levels are higher if you harvest too early. To water cure you soak your buds in cold water for a week and drain/change the water daily. After a week many...

    G-13 x buddha and Lowryder #2 grow

    Coolbreeze there is a problem here. Your plant is not where it should be for 6 weeks. Mine is a week behind and is 6 inches tall and budding all over. It's short because I had my 250watt hps too close. Yours should have shown sex toward the end of your 3rd week. I have to go back and look at...

    HYDRO vs. SOIL

    Ask yourself this- How much time and money do I want to spend on this project? If you have alot of time/money go hydro. If you don't then go soil and grow a few more plants to make up for the decreased yeild. I have done both and went to soil because it is so much easier. With hydro you have to...

    Showing signs of too much light with 250W HPS

    The flowering plant is getting better and a darker green after moving the light to about 12 inches two days ago. That was the problem. It's just odd to me that that was the problem. I have read on many threads that you put the lights as close as possible without burning the plants. Guess...

    Use a baby wipe warmer to sprout your seeds

    It is too cold to find a good warm place to sprout my seeds so I tried an old baby wipe warmer using pete pellets and it worked great. Seeds were bursting after 2 days. I lined the bottom with several layers of paper towels soaked with water to keep the moisture level up. Just wanted to add this...

    Showing signs of too much light with 250W HPS

    Okay here goes a try at pics as your point is valid. I'm not a camera guy so bear with me. The other plants in the back are normal green and about 3 weeks behind the bigger one. It's a whopping 5 inches tall. I raised the lights yesterday and it does seem to already be helping with a darker...
