Lowryder #2 Stealth Grow...

[mrs. st00ner]

The grow looks good baby.
I'm glad we've got so many ladies!
I'm thinking we should play the undecided ones some Hannah Montana to influence their decision...

LOL they would probably turn into hermaphrodites!

Ok anyways back on topic

What? You wanna turn them into pedophiles?

Hey guys, how do I know when a male is ready to drop pollen?

 

[st00ner]

Just added 5 23W 1600 Lumens 2700K Cfls...

4000 Lumens per square foot.

I can see three phenotypes... the slow starters, the tall(tallest is 1'), and the short and bushy.

Buds are starting to form, been giving them 300 PPM 4-8-7. Buds are on the main stem and on some of the other substems as well.

Will update with pics soon

Pics

They are about 1 week into flowering now....

6 Females, One Male.

They are developing flowers not just in a main coloa, but on heavily nodes branches!

The pollen sacs will become distinded out from the plant like misteltoe. Kinda like these:

Sorry bout the pic quality. old book.

 

[st00ner]

Thanks Captain!

You are a lifesaver

 

[Capt. Skinx]

Your Welcome, Brother.

 

[mrs. st00ner]

The ladies are lookin good love, and that male of yours has some seriously beastly genetics. Keep it up and as always, love and good luck

hey mrs stooner..do you grow too? I think you and your fella should have a grow comp :hubba: hehe

 

[mrs. st00ner]

Yes, just started my first grow
Haha, he's much further along and has more plants. I'm only starting off with two Power Skunk...
It would be interesting though, I'll admit. I don't know how he'd feel if I did better than him...there's the male ego to consider

i did not read the entire post and was wondering what nutes u r using.are you growing hydro?if so 300 ppms sounds kinda low to me for hydro and the plants are in flower.i am running 1300 ppms and my crystal plant is 2 weeks into flower using GH nutes with the lucas formula.my bad if i missed something.

Nah just soil. Fox Farms Ocean forest... watering every other time with 450 PPM 4-8-7 now.

I wanna do DWC with my Lowryders next go around, but need to figure out all the tubing and air pump stuff... I hear Lowryders are optimal in hydro.

Got any suggestions? I dont got room for 5 gal buckets but wanna do individual buckets.

Everything looks so good, I've been really excited about following this thread and the other lowryder journals i can find. i really like this strain and can definitely see it in my future. My super skunk needs to veg and flower for so long and it stinks like you wouldn't believe. I can't wait to see how this one turns out, keep up the awesome work.

So are you going to leave the male in there to get seeds? From what i understand these are impractical to clone and most people just pollinate, is that what you are doing? Also, where did you originally acquire your seeds? I see so many sites advertising this strain, just wondering where yours came from and was the experience good?

Yeah, I am going to get seeds. Waiting for the sacs to mature enough, then I am going to chop the plant and put it in a zip lock bag with some rice so it will dry and release pollen.

Got my beans from the attitude seed bank... no problems with shipping, used em twice :hubba:

I also got 5 free power skunk and one free feminzed durban poison seed with my order

I have not had problems with the smell, and I am just using alot of ONA liquid and solid gels with a big fan. Ordered a carbon scrubber just incase....

Its a very cool strain so far, staying nice and short!

I've heard tons of great stuff about attitude, From what i've seen on there site their stealth is really cool. I really think i'm going to order them and start a few and leave one male with however many females on first go, then just keep all the seeds from that first grow. While height isn't really an issue for me i just think it would be great to have such a fast plant,(from seed to flower.) I can't wait to see how your yield ends up. Have you noticed any sensitivity to nutes, or are they pretty tough? I saw that you are using T5's, but I have a 400 watt hps and a 400 watt MH conversion, which would be better for them, or should i start with the Mh and then switch? Just wondering what your opinion was.

Start with MH, flower with HPS.

They are about 1 1/2 weeks into flowering and I am feeding them 450 PPM of 4-8-7. No nute burn so far, I may increase the PPM a bit, but they seem to be growing fine.
