Hey all, finally decided to get my arse into gear and start a grow, was originally gonna be indoors but my mate bitched out of at the last second (cant grow at mine as living back with folks atm), I already had the seeds germinating at the time so I decided I will plant them outside instead of throwing them out, theyve been on my windowsill for about a week now, heres a pic;

the seeds are lowryder 2 fems, i went for these for obvious reasons, quick, small and (supposedly) easy to grow, dont know whats wrong with the one in the middle, i dropped one on the floor when transferring from paper towels to jiffy pellets so it maybe coz of that but im not sure which one i dropped, either way if it doesnt pick within a week i will throw it out


i was gonna plant them out either this or next weekend but by the sounds and looks of things im gonna keep em on my windowsill for at least another two weeks, also the fact that i havent found a decent plot yet is a factor

gonna go out tomorrow and make real effort to find some plots (weather permitting of course), anyway i'll keep this thread updated with pics and stuff, wish me luck!

good luck with that mate, hope it works out for you

I would wait until they are atleast 9 inches + tall before planting them out as if you plant them out when they are to small they they could easily end up as animal feed.
Also when they are bigger they will have more strength and be able to take more punishment from the weather etc. When you do plant them out you will probably have to protect them from animals with some chicken wire around each plant or something similar.
I would also wait until after the 15th of May before planting them out as this way you are almost guaranteed to miss all of the frost and cold spells plus it gives the weather chance to warm up better.
Good Luck with them.

H.T.

hi lads could anyone tell me please how much these lowryder 2 female seeds cost whats the yeild and smokes like.i know they are auto flowering but i havent read much about them does this mean from planting to finish outside.they will be ready in 12 weeks.many thanks for any replys the ferret.

I paid £35 for 5 LR2 fems, yield is supposed to bhe around 2oz per plant, dont know hat the smoke is like as never had it before, on the packet it says "from seed to harvest in 9 weeks", dont know how much truth is in that tho, anyway heres a few more pics:

i doubt 2oz per plant , maybe 1. the smoke is very nice indeed . so much nicer than any dealer weed. just make sure you dry and cure properly. it smells so feckin fruity its unbelievable1

thanks for the info lads had a litlle read about them thc is suppose to be about 18%.yeild between 28 to 48 grams per plant dry.

I believe the lowryder 1 is 1oz per plant, lowryder 2 has improved yields, up to 2oz

heres a few more pics before i plant into final pots tomorrow;

i have decided now that they will be going into pots in my mates back garden instead of planting them outside in some random location, hoping that no-one finds them

they look a bit yellow i know, hoping that will change when they go into the all mix

also as you can see the little one that looked like it was gonna die has certainly picked itself up


i'll post back with more pics soon!

Nice mate. So there about 30 days old...

Good luck nice to see the middle ones back on track..

the spot doesn't have to be random. and if you're smart, no one will find them. looking good! best of luck, can't wait to see what you have in a month.

Hey all, just a quick update, some of you may have seen this pics in the other thread i made, basically they are now re-potted in 10 litres bio-bizz all mix and sitting inside a b&q mini greenhouse thingy

Nice one mate!.. ive done LR's a couple times indoor and actually really enojoyed the smoke (the quick harvest time is awesome for someone like me who just grows occasionally) .. ive got 4 seeds left so going to do a quick outdoor grow in my back garden with the remaining seeds as the weathers turning lovely hey.

Good luck with your grow, will be keeping tabs to see how your ladies develop

Cheers

ill add my info 2, i grew out lowryders last year, not the lowryder 2's, just the original. aparently they have absolutely massive root structures, the same size as a normal sixed plant, so give them as much root space as possible for maximum yield. i gave mine bugger all root space, which i thought would be sufficient for the size of the plant, and probably got about 4 grams off each plant!
hope that helps.

quick update, pics taken today;

Although the buds are all the same size as they was last week the plants are a fair bit bigger, also started using the feed properly today, hopefully this will sort the yellowing out on the plant on the bottom right?

looking good man !!!

in it,

how much are u expecting dry yield wise ?

good luck
starway

well according to the seeds description im in for about 10 oz

but realistically i think ill be looking at 4-5 oz

quick update, well its been just over 9 weeks and theres barely any bud on them, so it looks like the 1oz per plant claim is out the window, i'll be lucky to get an oz all together

also the yellowing on the bottom right still hasnt gone away

oh well im gonna give em about 3 more weeks but wont be holding my breath.....

I'd say they still have a few weeks left to grow so who knows, they could bud loads out all of a sudden Well I hope they do! Good luck.

I'm really hoping your right mate, I know they double in weight in the last 2 weeks, fingers crossed!

mate stick with it!!
From what iv seen on here the buds should take another 2 to 3 weeks before there finished. Dont worry they will fatten up in that time.

good luck.

this weeks update, unfortunately we lost one due to a snapped stem from all the wind and shite weather recently, but still managed to salvage a few splifffs from it, the rest look like theyve taken a battering too....

ive seen worse mate, in better weather give the stems a shake daily to promote thicker stems

I never needed to stake my Lows, i found they grew increadibly thick stems, very sturdy. However, I do tend not to tie plants unless absolutely necessary, I just let em build strength. Like agito says, shake the stems when they're little...

chopped today! heres a quick pic before the chop;

heres a pic of the crop;

smells really nice and fruity!

the crop weighs just over 4oz, so me and my buddy will prob end up with under an oz each when its dried out

oh well not bad i suppose from 3 plants, (1 snapped a few weeks back, the one with the yellowing probs produced virtually no bud), better than giving the money to some street dealer for some shitty grit weed thats for sure!

also have a bag full of trim which i hope to get a few grams of hash from

anyway this grow is officially over, thanks to everyone who looked in!

Nice i chopped my lowryders yesterday...



Dont you wanna dry those buds before you cure em gov?





Ps

Hardly fucking low were they, theyre bigger than a few of my outdoor sativas!

yeah i am drying em mate, got em in a shoebox in my garage, and yeah i couldnt believe how big they got too!

it looks like the bud couldda done with a little longer to fatten up a little am i wrong ?? ,,

well it had been 13 weeks since i started (supposed to be done in 9 according to the seed company)
and due to all this shit weather weve been having recently looking like its not going away any time soon i took the decision to chop...

Enjoy that bud fella, home grown is always the best and enjoy your holiday, where you off to .. a rainy weekend in Filey
