Well, that's quite a question.

Have a look here in the Knowledgebase, and get reading. Best of luck with it.

If you've got all that equipment you may want to grow something decent, it may take a bit longer but you'll be glad you did.

Check the knowledge base, read a few grow diaries and go from there. Just copy your favourite grow and you won't go far wrong wink.gif

You're in the best place to learn, just read as much as you can smoke.gif

I'll second what THC4METOO says - don't bother with the Lowryder and get something that's worth growing.

Yup, I'll "third" that, you sound well on your way already, you can skip the lowryder stage.
(Though I mioght still recommend it to someone who sounds less organised wink1.gif )

Three questions:
  1. What lights have you got?
  2. how much height to play with?
  3. Most important - what kind of smoke do you like (heavy/body/medicinal or up/mind/social)?

I'm onto my 4th grow and until now i've used mediocre seeds , but now i'm going with chronic from serious seeds , Maybe you should get some practise before splashing money on seeds , you could start of with Nirvana or even go femaleseeds 4 pack they are cheap enough .

4 the first time grower, i think good place 2 start as they do there thing
start to finish, and there can be very good throw backs in u crop that
r that bit better than the rest, and good ground to learn to get u
ready 4 better strain next crop.

Thanks for all your advice everybody
My Growroom is 8' wide 5' deep 6' high,
I have an EcoTech 600w Light System (Sodium) Incl. 1kW Contactor and 24hr timer,
10 POD - Bubblepod System,
and 125mm Ruck Fan with 125mm Carbon Filter, all brand new and raring to go, the reason I ask about Lowryder is because I already have the seeds lol.gif

With a setup as good as you've got (wish I had it) your choice should be detrmined ONLY by the kind of smoke you want!

Forget the Lowryders.
No, actually, don't, bung a few of them in as well (aiming for say 1 or 2 females). Grow them alongside whatever you're really growing. You should get about an oz each under 600W.

That way, you'll see for yourself, and probably be glad that you didn't grow them! lol.gif
Plus, you'll have some smoke in 60 days, while the good stuff is getting ready.
