After the failed first attempt of my White Rhino & Skunk No.1 I have just orderded a Dwarf Mix Automatic pack of 10 seeds from www.cannabis-seeds.co.uk. The probelm with the first attempt was the lil beautys got to big and I had to remove them as I do not own the place I am living right now, so I decided to go for the Lowryder mix as ive been looking into it and it seems like a cool idea for a stealth grow. Even though I know its a small yied im not really that fussed because I dont smoke the stuff anymore, ive just always wanted to try it out!

So here is my idea...

Im planning on converting this old duel 10'' subwoofer into the grow box. The dimensions of the box are 25.5'' X 14'' X 13'', suitable for a lowryder or 2 yes?? Here is a picture so you get a more clearer idea...The carpet, mirror, and support for the speakers will all have to be removed and a mylar type of material added to the inside but we have got a week or 2 until the seeds arrive 13.gif



Now this is my main problem I am trying to fathom, what kind of lighting would be best?? My last grow was a very small flourescent tube and to my suprise it worked alot better than I expected. Nowdays people are trying all kinds of crazy ideas and one of them that has caught my attention is using LED's. Ive read quite a few posts about this but I still cant seem to get the idea of just how much you would need to grow 1 or 2 lowryders? I have a set of 10 blue, garden LED's powered by a 12 volt adapter which you can see in action here. My question to all you Micro farmers is simple, would this kind of lighting alone be enough for a lowryder plant?



From my last stealth grow I have 2 PC fans powered by the old mobile phone charger technique, this did not appear to be shifting much air so I am going to attempt hooking them up to another 12v adapter. Obviously after the question about the LED's and a decent air flow, my next worry will be what type of compost to use? My last grow was a B&Q own brand and it just wanst cutting it!

But if you have been kind enough to read up untill now, basically all im trying to find out is will this set of 10 garden LED's suffice for my new lowryders cool.gif Thank you ever so much for listening, all advice and feedback would be greatly appreciated!

Hi mate im afraid the simple answer is no there is no way those 10 led lights will keep lowriders alive!
Get an envirolite or something for a box that small I would say wink1.gif

Yeah thanks potstinkus ive just finished reading the whole thread, what that guy has done there is amazing! Its near enough exactly the same size as my box aswell so im probly going to use that as a guide line. Does that guy still post on the forum becuase I seen him say hes quitting growing. If theres any more threads as good as that please let me know as the search function isnt working. Its actually probably alot easier to go and buy a brand new box from Ikea for £10!

Ahh man sad.gif well at least I know now...im sure if they were used in conjunction with envirolites or 20w CFL's that they would do some good? Would a envirolite fit in my size enclosure? I have never seen one in real life and they do look kind of big lol.gif.

What do you guys think of using the blue LED's with the envirolite or 20w CFL's ???
