LOWRYDER#2 under T5's or CFL's

a mate tried turning me onto these early last year, i'd never heard of an auto-flowering cannabis plant until then. noticed there's quite a few on the market now all different varieties, can't see those being stable (just my opinion)

popped in a couple of weeks ago and he tells me LR2's are selling in their 100's just thru his shop alone, that i should give them a go and if i want more to let him know type thing. so i grab a 10 pack reg and a 5 pack fem

my intentions were to find a nice patch outside somewhere and have another go as last years was a total disaster
lack of something to do i thought i'd have a go at breeding for seed the LR2's, well 1 male 1 female and growing out the rest indoor
already got other things going on so this is gonna be a real simple set-up with either T5's or CFL's envirolight depending on ££'s. if it turns out good then the set-up will be devoted to LR2's otherwise it'll just be clone/veg room as height is an issue on this one

it's gonna be in a loft which isn't even set up so i'll show how i do it
already germed the seeds and put them in Canna Terra professional mix, shouldn't have to feed until late into flower, :wave: Browser, nice one.
they're in the mother room just waiting for me to get this set-up, all 10 popped within 24hrs paper towel, wrapped in carrier-bag, airing cupboard method. all popped through soil 24hrs later.

right, where's that battery charger for this damned camera???

its been a few wks since i started this thread and the set up is changed
they will now be under a cool tubed 400w MH bulb 4000Kelvin or very close (stoner memory)
sorry to disappoint those looking forward to a T5 grow but it would have meant £££'s and i had a mh ballast already so only had to buy bulb £21 inc vat
all other materials i've got from site (i work in construction)

right then for all those still here this is what i've been doing


got the floor down using compressed chip board tongue and groove for a good tight fit



lined 1 side with black and white then insulated





this is about the time i dropped the camera and now it doesn't work at all, i will buy another soon to show progress
the room is fully lined and insulated all the way round, floor, sloped ceiling/walls, back wall. front wall is made from a piece of kingspan (construction insulation) all new builds in UK have it in the walls, lined with black and white
room measures about 6ft wide, 8ft long, 3 1/2 to 4ft high
it'll be used for lowryders and double as a veg room, 18/6 is ok for lowryders

just gotta set up the light, gonna leave the cool tube open ended, this will serve a dual purpose by cooling the light and extracting air, will also bring fresh air into the room, will have 4" ducting with ladies stocking on 1 end to prevent bugs entering the room, this will lead to the room and end at the edge of house for fresh air brought in by cool tubed light
only got a 4" fan for this, seems powerfull enough but time will tell
will sort out a carbon scrubber when i know if fan is good enough or if i need a bigger 1

nearly forgot i germed 10 regular



and got 6 males 4 females, gonna germ the 100% 5 fems soon
will throw a male in with a female when i devise a way to make a sealed transparant unit with air flow

nice to see you sprouted yours. I recieved mine last week and I only have 1 sprout...the 1000w mh killed them............normally water them atleast once every 12 hours...missed the watering twice so paid the price, a few of them wilted but they never recovered enough...anyways there goes my early bud lol hopefully the 1 is a female.... :rant:

I'll be watching this grow for sure. Things seem to be off to a good start. Are you going to flower the seeded female under a CFL?
