monster Lowryder2 - how its done

Harvested this about 4 days ago so I dont have a dry weight yet, but it looks like it will come in around 70-80grams. Wet weight after a tight trim was 396 grams with the stems. I water cured for 1 day as an experiment and it is almost ready to go into the jar.

I have been growing Lowryder2 for a few years now and this is BY FAR my biggest yet. I think I found the secret. it was a soil cabinet grow using regular soil that I got at Home Depot. Used Flora Nova hydro nutes starting at 1/4 strength when they showed sex at around 3 weeks and jacked it up as the plant matured and fan leaves started to yellow. pH'd of course. I kept the lights (250 watt HPS) about a foot above her until she showed sex then lowered it to about 5 inches above the top. This is what made her stretch to a final height of around 24 inches. I tied down the main cola so the light could stay somewhat close to the lower nuggets. Light schedule was 24/7 for most of the grow. I dont think the light schedule is very important with these Autoflowering strains. The key is how much light you give them in early growth. Any insult during the early stages will stunt them. Insults including, nute burn, heat stress and too much light. After they show sex then let loose on the nutes and give em hell with the lights provided you can keep temps in check.

Final weight was 80 grams on the nose!!! That is tightly trimmed, fully dried and no stems. My previous best had been 29 grams.

Dam, You Got A Pic Of The Beasty Plant? I Find It Hard To Believe All That Bud Came Off One LowRyder, Mad Props Tho!

Really?? I Got 24 Grams Dry Out Of A PC Case (CFLS) Off Of One Red Dwarf... LoL

That's one plant. Swear on my mothers ass. I was too pussy to get a pic before sh was chopped. Took alot of grows to get it right. I am sitting on 100 grams for 2 plants. I'm going to give alot to friends. I just grow for personal use and an ounce lasts me a year.

The bitch is still growing. I chopped her 3 weeks ago and got 80 grams, but I left a few of those super fluffy lower buds to see if they would grow. I was tired of trimming and they would have Maybe yielded a gram so WTF. I also applied some year old pollen that I had put in the freezer to try and seed this monster. Anyways, it has pistols everywhere. Right now it looks like another 5 grams at least; but I don't think it is done as they recently started to take off. I also have the lights 12/12 because it gets way too hot during the day in the attic. It would be amazing if I got some seeds off this 95 day old lowryder.

Bottom fluffy nuts are still growing and looks like the pollination is actually producing some seeds! I used 2 year old pollen I had in the freezer! What used to be about 2 grams of fluffy bud has grown to about 8 grams now. We are at about 110 days now and Im still seeing new white pistols in places.

Lowryder growers - you can chop all the plant except the bottom few buds that suck anyways and pollinate them with 2 year old pollen and seeds. Best of both worlds.

Scribed. Hope you are right on this. Is the chopped plant still growing or just like on life support? Pics please, sir.

An ounce last you a year? Whatever dude. Makes your previous statement of 80 grams dry off one lr2 sound even more bogus. But I have seen several ounces off one auto so im not saying it is bogus. But what do you smoke? A few calyxes a day? Even then an ounce wouldnt last a year.

I agree on your method though, take the tops and let the bottoms finish up more. You will get a higher yield. And LST as well, pulling it over so the the lower branches get more light made a huge difference for my diesel ryders. The one that was LSTd produced three times as much as the ones that were not. But the ones that had less bud were more covered in trichomes.

First your pollen was a year old then it was 2. Which is it? Nice buds anyway.

hey edocks!

I am currently just starting to grow lowryder#2. pakistan ryder and doggie snuts white widow!


I would appreciate any help you can offer with the lowryders....and the doggiesnuts white widow if you know anything about it. Its an indoor grow using soil. Would really appreciate it man if you can check out my threads and tell me what you think of what i have done so far and any suggestions for upcoming times of the growth? I have pics and kind of a grow journal going! First grow journal so your gonna have to bear with my lovely stoned expressions!

peace man

I'm going to do the LST next time. Don't knock me just because I am not a chronic. WTF? An ounce lasts
me a year and my yield was 80 grams dreid so far and the bottom nuggets are still growing. I got no reason to lie and don't appreciate your accusations.

I'm pretty sure it was 2 years ago, but it could have been late in 2008 which would technically not be quite 2 years. Anyways, it is old shit either way.

Pulled a seed last night and it was still pretty green. It needs another week at least which sucks because it is going to get warm here soon and it will be too hot i the attic. I turned the lights to 12/12 with them off during afternoon and evening. I'm surprised that I can still grow at all this time of the year. It has been unseasonably cool and rainy the last few weeks, but the weather pattern is about to change. The experiment continues. I am going to try to post some pics tonight.

Okay, let me ask you this...and I'm not saying your a pro OR even know the answer to my question....BUT, because of your results, I have to inquire...I have a 4 bulb 4' HO T5 light set-up on a 20/4 sched'.,[20,000 lumens]< which is prob. equivlent to your 250hps,in lumen output....I see where you said that lights too close before showing sex will make plants small< I have to agree with that ! because my plants didnt get no bigger than 12"-14" overall...! and I want 2' plants min.! Soooo, with that said, How far away should I keep these lights till sexing???? remember, I'm using HO T5's for so-called veg stage & 600hps for flowering on 18/6 but may change to 20/4...btw, what is water curing???? Thanks!
