Mr.G
haha yes we missed you too!lol! I missed you too!
Okay, here you go. 1/8
Stubby and Med Back both got water and a tiny bit of nutes. Our large lady was not ready for any water.
1/11
We seriously pushed it and they probably should have had water yesterday.
Large - is 11 1/2" and had 3 cups of water, so we finally got some runoff. We gave her a little nutes since she hadn't had any.
Stubby - is 11" and just had 1 1/2 cups of some good 6.5 PH water.
Medium Back - is 10 1/2" and just had 1 1/2 cups of some good 6.5 PH water.
I had to learn to pour really slowly!
They also got a new place to live as they had outgrown their ghetto. lol Here are pictures of the girls and their new home. The white smoke is the humidifier.
Any feedback you have is always appreciated.
Lower your water PH and those little flies are thrips and can infest your grow. They also carry tomato wilt fungus so whenever they bite a plant they infect it. Usually shows in concentric circle brown spots after its established but discoloration usually happens firstSoil Growers:

We have 3 Lowryders just into week three, 3 -4 days ago they started to yellow on the middle level leaves and it appears to be getting worse. Started with the edges of the leaves but has moved into towards the veins. The soil was completely watered at seed planting time ( pre-germinated ) and the plants were watered after the 9th day with 1/3 cup , very little nutes and in a small circle around the edge of the plant. They were then watered wit 1 cup of water on the 13th day , again light nutes and only around the edge of leaf growth. The surface was dry to at least an inch prior to each watering. Since the last watering we are seeing the yellowing as show in the pics. Trying to figure out what to do next , guessing maybe some over watering (the soil in the bottom of the pots are still pretty damp) and possibly a magnesium deficiency?
Any help would be appreciated.
so smaller than a 2 gallon, mmm you shouldn’t transplant autoflowers is what i hear, if someone says you can than i’d do it.Large is in a 2 gallon pot, the other two are a little smaller than that. Since they are Lowryders and are 5 weeks old tomorrow, I wouldn't have even thought about being root bound.
We have moved them to an 18/6 schedule when we got the new set-up. I am a little worried about my "night time temps". Daytime runs 78-80, night is running 65. Humidity staying between 40-50%. I do not run the humidifier in the dark period.
Insight on what to watch for and expect for the next couple of weeks would be really helpful as I have absolutely no idea except for what I read. lol
I appreciate any thoughts, you guys have been so helpful!
I'm very interested in your final outcome. I read at the seed company I bought some Lowryders from, that it only grows -Today's update. The girls are looking pretty good. I am seeing a little bit of cupping on the Large plant.
Large plant (Hardware bucket). She was fed 1/11 with 1/8 ration of nutes. Not seeing any discoloration, just a light cupping. She has grown to 15" tall, so she has gained 3 1/2" since 1/11! I think that's good?!? I think she is flowering pretty well (although to be honest, I have no idea what I am really looking for)
Stubby. She is actually looking really good. She is now 13 1/2" tall so she has grown 2 1/2" since 1/11. She got good PH balanced water, there was very little run off (not enough to PH but her pot felt heavy. And I am totally paranoid of over watering again! Same here, seems to be flowering nicely.
Medium Back. I think this is the one that I am a little concerned about. She was initially our best girl. The other two have now taken over while she has just kinda slowly moved along. She is now 12" tall, so she has grown 1 1/2" since 1/11. She got good PH balanced water, there was no run off but her pot felt heavy. Slow on the flowering.
I trimmed all the completely yellow leaves off.
