Lowryder Ninja PC hydro-grow - UK Grower

what i meant was try to keep the plant around 2-3 inches from the bulb. moving it around will cause it to stretch. you might have to lst since you are growing in a pc case. i did when i grew in mine. the closer to the light source the shorter and tighter the internodal length will be. which means tighter buds

Thats what I thought.
Thanks for advice. It has helped. The sis feels better.

Quick update.
Shifutekushi and Jam Sis are doing good.

The 2nd Lowryder sprouted too. Not sure what I ll do with it.
I am attaching pictures of all three babies

Peace. No you didnt sound cocky. No worries
Pumps are a pain. You ll need a 400L to be enough. Mines is 270L and I would still like more bubbles. They say the more bubbles the better results.
Airstoves are mineral! Go for mineral if you want to do hydro. I got them on ebay 1.5 inch diameter.

Both Ninjas do good.
One of them will become a hydro pc ninja.
The other will become a coco potponics ninja.
(assuming they are both girls)
The coco one will be named Mimomimo -> Coco.

Both do allright.
I spent some time on google docs to make them a height grow chart. The chart image will update as I insert data on my chart...
Kind of cool no?

Shifutekushi is 6 days old, Mimomimo is 3 days old



They live in the pc case with the Jam sis, but I made a small DIY greenhouse for them.

I hope the Greenhouse will:
DIY Greenhouse



I Filled the bottom of the greenhouse with some water and left it in the box.
They look happy in there.
One little thing worries me with Mimomimo. Its tiny ninja-leaves are pointing upwards.
They say this is due to lights being too close. I moved it a bit further from the lights but I am afraid it might stress like the Jam Sis.
Please also note that Mimomimo's cube is much more wet compared to Shifutekushi.

Any input/help on Mimomimo's upward pointing leaves will be much appreciated

All 3 plants do well
The 2 ninja babies seem fine although Mimomimo is much bigger.
The hydro baby seems confused. I do NOT keep the food stable and this is a big mistake, but I am not sure what exact % of nutrients I must have. The solution I use is on ml per littre, but there is only 1.5 littres on my tank, so it is easy to do a mistake on the %.

Coco baby, Mimomimo is doing better might be because coco is more friendly to nutrient % changes or its just a stronger plant... Not sure.
Both do good and this makes me happy though.

The big surprise is the Jamaican bagseed. She started as a test for the ninjas to follow, but I dont want to kill her now. She grew TOO BIG for the box already and is now in a coco-pot. Her 3rd day in coco and seems to like it alright
see pictures of all three babies, feel free to let me know your thoughts..

What I am thinking doing is changing the nuntrients from veg to bloom in 3-4 days and change lights as soon as I can see some hair coming out. So far I am not sure if any of the ninjas are female or male.
BTW. Aren't they meant to autoflower? Shall I do any voodo tricks to make it flower?

Characteristics

Lowryder virtually does away with the vegetative growth stage: it passes almost immediately from the seedling stage to the flowering period. To our knowledge, Lowryder has the shortest known life cycle and height in the cannabis species. Male plants may be identified as such after approx. 17-20 days, while females show themselves a couple days later. Plants will even flower under a continuous light regime.

yo

don't switch the nutes til you see pre flowers, swirching up the nutes wont spead that up. if it is an autoflower don't change your light schedule, just switch to a soft white bulb or a hps. no tricks man it just takes time. hope that helps

Hi man. I forgot about your grow so haven't checked it since ages. I think your plants are doing very well however I'm not sure about height of your box as it's only bout 50ish CM tall. Mine was 60 CM and she overgrown it easily and fast. I think you gotto lst sisters big time. In other hand you may get some short phenos (if you lucky) and it's gonna be fine.

Classic tune man. That's good too. Bless!

True. I was sure about it since our last chat a few days ago.
That is why Shifutekushi will be the one who stays in the pc case (assuming she is a lady) and she will be treated with some ninja LST.
Its just that I think she is too small to start training. 6 cm is how tall she is.
What you think? Is she ready to start?

Also after checking your posts I decided myself to make my reservoir bigger. I now got a 5 litre one out of which I use 3.5 litres. Quite an upgrade compared to the 1,5 litres that was there before.

Mimomimo the coco baby will not stay into the pc case. She just stays there a few hours, as its not very a very sunny May here in London. But its pot alone is 20 cm tall.
I will soon (it payday next week) will buy an extra 65w lamp for Mimomimo.

Hm.. honestelly I'm not sure. I started to LST mine when it was 2 weeks old and had about 2-3 leaf sets. 2 days ago I performed some more LST as branches were going up again a lot... I'm not sure if I did good as she is probably starting to flower. Well, we'll see.

I think that good but bigger tank means that she will grow taller and you're limited on height. I hope 5l gonna be sufficient.

So what are you gonna do with rest of plants? Don't you wanna finish them outside? It should get sunny in London soon man. You're getting amazing summer there lol. BleSs!

What's up Marlboro, I'll be checking in on your pc grow. Glad to see some more pc growers since I'm using a pc too!

Hi again
Was away and moving homes.
Babies do well. Both are girls!
Unfortunately I moved them both out of the PC case, so this is not a pc grow any longer, looks more like a Nomad grow I must say.

What is important to note for those days is:

• The bulb fall on the hydro baby and burned it, but it recovered
• The hydro got transplanted into coco for the sake of easiness and because my pc case was AWFUL

Here are some pictures of both babies though.
Hope I smoke them soon
Bless guys...
