Lowryder#2 aerogarden

i'm looking i reckon at next to nothing left to smoke its all seed . the bit i chopped and pruned weighed 48g but like i said thats with seeds in.
Btw i put a airstone in the tank almost as long as the bottom an a good pump, now it looks like a spa bath. i definitely recommend everyone putting one in, the growth after was amazing.

woohoo!! harvested yesterday at day 72 from seeds popping. This thing is a 18" bud bush.
I chopped it all up and left to dry i an cardboard box with newspaper in it i try to get a pic tomorrow. i haven't weighed it cause i have rubbish scales but it look like 2oz wet. Seeds a plenty i have took over 100 already and i havent even taken any out of what i harvested yesterday
I put some more seeds in the aero and 4 out of 5 have popped in a week and have some more germinating in a paper towel which i giving to a mate, 3 of them have just cracked today.
I'll try and get pics but i also have a big bud and a jumping jack flash cutting in the aero . I have built myself a larger replica aerogarden that has 10litres in with 4 ,so far, 4" net pots that i will use to flower in.A 1200l/p/h water pump with a 4 way splitter to supply each pot,two large airstones for lovely o2 one of which i put near the pump as my friend from the local hydro store told me this was a good idea as it would pump o2 down through the roots aswell as them getting it from below. I went down my local hardware store and got them to cut a bit of mdf up to the size i wanted for my new room.I'm still gonna use the 2 red cfl's for flowering might not be great but it will do for me. I purchased a 125 watt cfl same as my other 2 but the blue style for my little cloning room with the aerogarden in.
Cant wait to see how my little babies do and looking forward to throwing any males away that i find this time (what a mess they left in my room all that pollen took me ages to bleach it all off).
I'm stoked i got 3 diff types of weed at the mo it means i wont get bored of the same stuff all the time
pics soon

+ rep........

Thanks gstatus any luck on your seeds yet?
I hope this gives ppl an insight as to what it might be like when they grow it and if they want seeds from it too.
Any questions or input feel free to post

Are the males totally useless for a smoke? No thc at all? No buzz at all? It looks like my best AG plant is a male & I hate like hell to just trash it.
Is is only good for seeds?

Thanks, O2

Apparently you can make hash out of them(do a search on here for more info) but for me they were just for seeds

I think a really high THC male plant has about half the THC of an only "ok" female plant. Many males won't get you high at all, but some will. =)

If you make hash out of the males though, you probably won't get much quantity but the quality of what you do get will be much higher. After you get it dried, try smoking a little - and if you don't like it just make bubble hash out of it? =)

nice thread greenthumbs. i have 4 lr2s vegging at the moment, found a male today who im thinkin ill use for a bit of seeding myself. nice to see a real example!

Shiitake i wonder how long you have to leave the males before harvesting, if you're gonna. The ones i got were all stalk and pods not many leaves on them at all just tall and poddy.
I wonder if yours morp will be different. Like to see some pics if you got em.
I done some research on here about possibly having an effect on how many females you get. I found that the two main ways to get males were high temps and too much red light. Considering my room was getting to 90f sometimes and i had both the red lights on all the way through, i think that might be why i got 4 males and 1 female.
This time i come prepared, just blue light and trying desperately to keep the temp down, struggling a bit there dont really want to open the doors.

i have mine under 12hrs 400w hps with my other flowering female, and 6hrs under one 125w 6400k cfl and one 20w 2700k cfl.
they seem to be enjoying it, i thought the higher the wattage the better regardless of spectrum really. do you think itd be better for them to spend more time under the 125w blue cfl rather than the 400w red hps?

heres some pics of mine. the male i have already removed to my cfl area, forgot to get a pic of that im afraid!

I haven't found any conclusive proof that leaving them on 18/6 is better than 12/12. Mine were on 18/6 almost all the way until i spoke to the hydro shop man and he convinced me to switch to 12/12.
Maybe you could leave 1 on 12/12 to see if it has a difference.
As for the lights definitely i agree more the merrier regardless of the spectrum.
They look really funny next to your normal one. Mine stayed that around that size for a long time , just got bushier.

Found one
Lets play a game
Guess which one is the male??

cheers greenthumbs, thats good info. means i can leave them in with my other plant on 12/12 rather than having to put them in at 10 in the morning and take them out at 10 at night. was a bit of a drag tbh!

btw, 2 questions; 1, what is that aero unit youre using, and 2, have you grown lr2 for a sensi crop before without seeds? if so, what was your yield?

cheers man!

Just finished pulling out the seeds and what was left weighed 20grams dried, its drying really quickly i guess cause there isnt much plant on each bit.
That aero unit is the aerogarden (google it). Aero is a bit of long shot it is more a heavy drip system but nice and contained all the same.
This is my first grow ever so i dont know what yield will be of a sensi one but it looks promising

This is probably the last post on here unless ppl have any questions.
Smoke report:
Bearing in mind it is seeded you can still get a clue as to what it will be like. Despite it drying out quick (i just moistened it a little) its a smooth smoke and has quite a nice taste too, i hope this will get better next time(unseeded).Gets me stoned for sure, i am a everyday smoker so i can say that all those ppl out there who say it is like hemp and wont get you high obviously havent tried this yet.
I will post up on my next batch when they get going.
Cheers for your responses

Peace out.

Thanks GreenThumbs, I really look forward to seeing your sensi grow log for this strain! =)

How much of the seeded buds (quantity wise) do you have to smoke to get high? lol How would you describe the quality of high this strain gives? =)

I got a pretty good amount really but cant wait to see the buds full instead of just seed pods. The high creeps up on you quite uplifting but it doesnt really last that long (again hoping for improvements on the next one). Overall its got me wanting more so quite good i'd say

very nice! i am a beginner grower i just really started playing with few seeds my first plant turned out to be male and i was gutted all that hard work for nothing i am thinking of doing 8 of these LR2,s on a sea of green method how much do you get when cured and dryed per plant and would i get more doing to 2 bigbuds instead? thing is i got 6ft height restriction

lol they only grow to 18" max (apparently) so the height restriction wont be a problem.
As i said before i got 20g dried after pulling out seeds (more really but i chopped some bits early for testing).
First grow only female so i dont know what you can expect all i can say is it should be more than 20g each.
When you say 2 buds instead of one i take it you mean topping. In my opinion i wouldn't bother as they are a quick life cycle plant so i would think the new growth produced from topping would not be fully mature. Only guessing though.All it needs is some major lst to get the light all the way through (cause they do get very bushy)
