Hello Dankers. I am interested in what you are saying but I am confused to what you actually mean. You didn't use any periods in your paragraph so I am having problems breaking up the sentences. I believe the gist of what you are saying is that you plant your seeds after only 1 to 2 weeks of...

Hello, Thanks for the input Stoney Bud. You said in your reply that you could explain why one on two off is the best but it would take alot of typing. Do you know a good place for me to read about it so that I can understand it more. It is just that I am trying to figure out how to maximize...

Hello THC! I might be confused with something and would like to know your opinion on it. I am currently growing lowryder 2's and had many of them not sprout for some reason. It may have been because they were pretty white and may have been picked too early from the seedbank or something but I...

So, I am reading that I should have the tray flooded for at least a half an hour to an hour? I am getting so many opinions on this. I have a really fast pump to fill my tray but I let it drain slowly. It floods in about 45 to 50 seconds and drains in about 20-23 minutes. What should I watch...

Thank you S.B. for your help. I will have to get a picture up really soon to help with my inquires. I think that I am going to get some hydroton for the bottom of the tray for the roots to play in after they start reaching outside the cubes. What to do for the top of the cube I am undecided...

Thanks guys for the input. I don't think that I would be able to cover the cubes with any sort of media because the tops of the cubes are about two inches over the top of the tray that the gardener at the hydro store said to use. If it is just to prevent mold from forming in the cubes maybe I...

Hello, I am pretty new to hydroponics and I am just now starting my first grow. I am in the middle of setting up all of my equipment but have run into a problem. I was wondering what the ideal conditions were for flooding and draining my system? I am growing Lowryder #2's using big rockwool...

Thank you for your response. What makes my situation a bit more complicated is that I would be growing Lowryder 2's which do not have a seperate veg cycle. They are "auto-flowering". As far as the humidity is concerned... I have been told to try to keep it as close to 100% as possible. Do...

Thanks for your input DLtoker... so what temp/humidity do you think I should try to maintain in the germination dome? I do have those temp/humidity meters to monitor it but I have never been sure what numbers to shoot for. Thanks again for the input!

I am growing Lowryder#2's using one of those sprouting trays that you can purchase at garden centers. They use the heating pad under the tray and a dome over the top to keep the temp/humidity in but I was wondering if it may get too hot? The other question that I have is about the lighting for...

Thanks dude... I have went over brouli's forum posts rigorously many times and I have been corrasponding with him already. He definetly has much to offer in the world of Lowryder's. I'm sure that I will be using him as a source of information more and more as my grow continues. Another person...

Thank you DLtoker... I appreciate your response. I agree about the terminology. I guess people assume that since it is "auto-flowering" and they don't have to change the light cycle that it just skips the veg cycle. It just means that it stops veging and starts flowering when it is ready not...

Thanks for your replies guys... really a big help. I like to here from other people about their experiences with this plant. I will have to consider using many smaller lights instead... Do you think that I can replace a 1000 watt HPS with two 400 watt HPS's?

Yo guys! Just got my Lowryder #2 seeds and was wondering what people thought about something. Since these plants do not have a veg period, should I skip the MH light (usually used for veg) and skip right to the HPS (usually used for flowering) and use it all the way through to harvest? Maybe...
