Lowryder lighting

[bergkamp]

good luck with the new grow , id be interested to see what the results would be under enviros - as for the spec i think you can dual spec cfl lights now. havent used one myself but might be worth you looking at.

I started my LR2's on a 200w blue enviro. That seemed fine for the vegging stage. The red 200w enviro wasn't realy strong enough and I forked out for a 400w HPS. Will be starting to flush them on tuesday. Will let you know what weight I get once I have stumbled my way through harvesting and curing

Hope that helps.

How many plants you have under a 200w Flash? its 5 im thinking of doing

[bergkamp]

ive got four plants in 5 ltr pots and i would say thats about the max you would get under it. of course if you are using smaller pots you might get a couple more

Had 4, got lucky and only one turned out to be male. So I have 3 ladies that have been suffering in the heat! Hope not too much damage has been done.

Running them in a Dark Room DR80 grow tent with an oscolating fan 100mm RUCK fan and Phat filter. Growing them in a flow gro 500 flood and drain system. If I could have kept the heat under control at the begining I think they would have been even better. Recon the 200w enviro is perfect for a small space and 4 plants.

I now has my 5 femmie lowryders, be a week odds before i can afford a CFL though (dont see the point in getting a 125) so would i be fine starting them under 12/12 HPS for now? Im impatient...

I started mine on 18/6 under the blue cfl. From What I have read give as much light as possible. Not sure about 24/24 though. I recon everthing needs a bit of time to chill! Probably could get away with starting them under the HPS, but I am no expert.

I tried 24/24 on them last time, I got mature weed in 7 weeks from seed, but near sod all off it, bout 4g a plant (I kid not) won't be doing that again

Just chopped my first bud to get some more light into the more undeveloped ones below. Top of main cola on the biggest of the 3. 54g wet untrimmed. Has taken bloody ages to get them to this point, However I think the ladies could have done with another week on nutes before I started the flush. Still I will be heading towards the 12 week mark, flushing and curing included. Missues sneaked a taster while I was at work. Giggling mess when I got home so I am hopefull it will be worth it. As I said before I ran 18/6 until the third week of flowering and then dropped to 16/8.

How do you mean? 24 hours light, then 24 hours dark?

[bergkamp]

i think he meant lights left on 24 hours a day

[Strider]

Aye, as it 24 out of 24

[uktoker]

Ah right, was confused for a sec there. So, I guess i should take my lowryder #2 off 24/0 ?

Bit of a hard one though, as im going on holidays in a week, so cant turn lights on/off. A timer wouldnt look to good to my flat mates, and they'll probably follow it to my stealth grow.

[normeo]

well you have the light plugged in already? so get 4 gang extension lead and plug timer into that, there will still be just an electrical lead as before then. if you need more then one plug on the timer get one of them cubes, just make sure you don't have a stupid amount of current flowing through it

[uktoker]

Was thinking of that, i can put the timer in my grow cab, it will look exactly as normal. Just hope my plant doesnt grow too big in the week that im gone.

[Flashheart]

the biggest one of mine was about 45-50 cm.
