Lowryder dwarf mix grow- mini cabinet

Hey all

About ten days ago i started a lowryder dwarf mix grow in an old gun cabinet. The cabinet is 2'x1-1/2' x 5ft tall. I have 10 27 watt 5000k cfl's and 2 40 watt 2700k cfls in the cabinet. i have one 120mm computer fan as an exhaust, one as an intake and one as a interiour blower. The seeds were started in peat plugs ans transplanted into 1.8 liter pots at 4 days. Temp in the cabinet is a steady 75-80 but i'm having trouble with the humidity- 20-28 %. Soil mix is now a local organtic compost mix- changed it 4 days go from MG - my plants were burning up, and since changing i've seen a tremendous difference. they are still small for 10 days but they are recovering nicely. Please, any advise is always appriciated. I just bought this cabinet Suncast C3600 - X - Utility Storage Base Cabinet and built a bubbleponic system and i'll be starting a 12/12 grow from seed next week- that should be interesting- using afgan kush feminised.

A little update- 2 days later- plants are really perking up- its strange though- some are taking off and getting tall while others are creeping along the ground. Could this be because of the different strains of lowryder involved? I have no experience with this strain, and it really isnt growing very fast, but i guess its not suppose to Heres some pics- as always comments welcome


PB

i would like to hear what ppl have got to say about this because i was going to start a lowryder crop myself

dont look too bad tho(but im a noob what do i know)

Thanks Zilluz

I've grown outdoors for a while, but indoor growing is new to me. This is a bit of a strange strain, it seems to grow a bit slow, doesnt stretch much- short and squat, except 1 thats growing vertical fairly fast. I guess its the different pheno's- usuall i plant outdoors, check for the first 2 weeks, then come back in late sept to harvest- that plan usually gets me my head stash for the year. I'm putting a few out in 3-5 weeks, but i'm also gonna try theses lowryders outside too, but fairly non stealth location, so i can keep an eye on them. I got 12 more lowryder dwarf mix beans, so we'll try that in late may early june- anyway i'll report growth with pics in 3-4 day

Ok here we are 3 days later, about 2 1/2 weeks from seed. There seems to be a few different types in here. Its the lowryder mixed pack, which can contain lowryder 1, 2 and unreleased strains. The runts are really starting to go now and my two biggest are getting real nice looking. I've justy started giving them a tea of jamican bat guano and worm castings mixed with water until its a dark brown tea. They seem to love it and in the last two feedings they have exploded and gotten a real nice dark green. So here are my questions
1- when will i be able to sex them- i know nothing bout lowryders and i dont want to miss any males. I usally grow feminized stains outdoors, and basiclly abandon them after a week or two and dont see them again until Sept- Oct.

2- Will this "tea" be enough for ferts or do i need more. I'd like to keep it natural if possible being this is going into my body.

So heres some pic's and please comment, help is always appriciated-

PB

looking real good ive never used the bat guano stuff but i might get a bit for my next grow i only keep hearing good stuff about it and as for will the bat guano be enough i dont know but theres loads of organic nutes too choose from id probly get some me personally but im sure some good roll it upper will be able to help you out a but more in depth

Hey Zilluz

You gotta see these things going!!! I gave them the guano worm casting tea yesterday and got an explosion of growth. Plus the leaves a real dark grean, almost geen/black, Plus they are getting real musty, almost skunky. I'll post picks tommow----i;m blasted on some white widow a frieng gave me to hhekp with my constant pain=this stuff is hard core med stuff, just the right medicine for a guy who broke his back 2 years ago and now has a 18' rod, 6 screws and two plates- i hvr perminate damage to the nerves in my rt leg and this kind of weed is 10x better than the narcs the doctor throws at me by the 100's- percs, vicondin, oxycodone, dulaudid- i hatr yhese things, they just fuck with your system and make you jones for them, Sorry for rambling but a good stone does this to me

PB

Hey man just thought id subscribe, interested to see what they do

Im going to be throwing white widows into my cab in my journal, but if any turn out to be males then im throwing in some LR mix lol

Hey Monkeeman- good to see its not just me and Zilluz here I'm gonna need some help from you guys- I think a few are showing sex- when it comes to sexing i have 3 problems 1- i'm half blind, even with my glasses its hard for me to see the small stuff 2- i can never convince myself if its male or female- i swear the 2 i'm looking at are female, but i dont trust my judgement 3- i'm f-in retarded, not really, but when it comes to this stuff i am. I'll take some real good close ups tomorrow and maybe i can get some opinions.....Thanks.....its really appriciated

PB

yeah ill make sure ill give them a look, sexing should be the least of your worries lol

Hey, here we are its sun night and i'm bored- so lets look at some pic- they just came out of their 5 hours of darkness- I think these two are girls, but let me know what you think- i couldnt get a good close up, but i swear i see hairs, not balls. Anyway, we're at day 19- i can only see anything on these two- they are the two nicest and biggest of the bunch

PB

nah, now i think they're males the more i look at em- i'll give them a few more days before pulling them

i think they are males too but im not 100% sure

just wait to many people jump the guns with the 'oh they are males' comment haha

untill you see some balls, dont chop

id listen to monkey ive been lucky an got all females i havent yet had a male myself
