    I plan on getting a pc grow case and want to find one strain that would be good to grow in such a space.

    It will be LST and only 1 plant per PC for maximum yields on buds.
    4x 6500K bulbs for vegetative stage
    4x 2700K bulbs for flowering stage

    what strain would be best for the grow scenario and where would be a good place to get the seeds?
    Lowryder #2?


    also i would like to use some good all around nute. what would be a good one to use?

    thats whats I would go with, seems to be the choice of many tight grow spaces. but I grow big plants.
    JD on nutes:

    I get alot of requests for more info on nutrient needs for Lowryder. This is a hard question to answer as it depends how much money you want to shell out for nutrient products.

    I get Advanced Nutrient products (many say the best) at a discount and I have adapted their formula for my own use. Advanced Nutrients provides a complete program for an 8-week grow and has a guide for different growing mediums.

    For the first two weeks, I use what they recommend for seedlings.

    Then I use the Micro 2+ Light Feeding program for the rest of their life cycle. I usually skip week 3 and 5 to bring it down to a 6 week program which I begin as soon as LRs are sexed.

    I know it sounds complicated. Obviously all this is not needed.

    As a rule of thumb, treat Lowryders like seedlings for the first 2-3 weeks, then switch them onto a light bloom program. So, you feed them a seedling/transplanting formula the first 2 weeks, then switch to a bloom fertilizer with something like a 5-10-5 or 1-2-1 ratio of N-P-K.

    Give them a feeding of bloom fertilizer every week on weeks 3,4,5,6. Just pH-balanced water on week 7. Flushing solution on week 8.
    ...or for organic freaks, just plant into organic soil mix with bat guano mixed in... and put away the calculator...:cool:

    i am having trouble finding sites with Lowryder seeds that ship to the USA. Any tips? Also, on the nutes can you supply me with the brand name of a good one to try and find?

    A lot of sites say check your state laws, is it safe to order seeds to the states?

    also, what should the light cycle be? if its auto flowering and grows during while flowering, does that mean 20/4?

    Most places ship seeds.. never encountered a problem.. this auto flower is tricky, just grow under 18/6 for few weeks till stable, 12/12 til finished.

    so my friend just ordered some Lowryder #2 x New York Sour Diesel. it will be grown in a pc grow box using soil. should i germinate the seeds doing paper towel method or just stick it in the soil and under the lamps? the seeds should be feminized. he will be growing one of these at a time so would it be better it just let it germinate in the soil?

    you know sometimes with a better seed stock its a good idea to paper towel them, then there isnt no doubts.. Ive put one seed in the pot and wait and nuffin comes up its a aggravation and set back another 3/4 days which can add up to weeks if the soil wants to be a fucker about it..

    I.v always had better and faster results by geminating first. ya only really need a constant and steady temp 70-80.

    I.l like to see a pc case grow from stratch coz i really do think its possible.
