Well Ive heard that Lowryders are good for lower light levels so thats good. Im not sure about all those other vaireties. Im not sure I know what you mean tho, are you growing indoor or out? I dont think outside at this time of year would be very productive. I dont know what "with 125 watt output ratio cfl and so on" means. I would keep the Lowryder indoors with the CFL, theyll do OK with that and you wont risk the cold and the bugs etc. All I can tell you is that Lowryders seem to do good under the big CFLs; someone else (Hmmm - check their link from my page if you havnt found it already!) has one plant under a dual 125w CFL and its doing great so it can be done simply with the CFLs. Im not sure about those other varieties tho, Im only a beginner and Lowryders seem to be easier than regular ones. Is this your first grow? If so it seems a little ambitious and I would try the lowryder and maybe only a couple of other regular ones to start with and learn with. But you already have them germinated so I dont know!

indoors and outdoors but keep this in mind i want my other plants to just grow till next seasons harvst but keep them alive and avoid the frost as for my lr i dont mind on harvest size but one cfl at night will be slow growth but i dm i did have a 600 watt hps had it for a week and electric bill raised the roof and police came and took them so now i have got to use the basics i have grown before but all males lol

Well... my hairdryer came back on and it dried to a pathetic amount as seen in the pic! I made my mini joint and I think its helped. Its so hard to tell when you want it to work so badly sat there thinking is it working?! Theyve gone to bed now tho so thatl have to do. Im now concerned tho coz it smelt the same as D's leaves, not weedy. Its more of a herby smell, maybe, dont know, I cant think what it smells like. Not bad, not nice, but not of weed!
Supersami - I get it now, youre vegging the plants till next year? Sounds like a plan. I would keep the lowryders inside under the CFL with 18/6 light schedule, especially if youve been busted before, surely not good to have the plants outside, not only that but carrying back and forth - isnt there risk someone might see?! My Lowryder 2 are pretty big now, I wouldnt like to have to carry them back and forth every day! And Im a female lol!

I had mine under one 250w CFL for the first month (8 plants for 3 or 4 weeks then eventually just the 3 females). I only got another light because 3 didnt fit very well under just the one light. I think 1 125 CFL could get 2 half decent lowryders. I dont think the light would be very good outside now, the CFL might actually be better? They can grow very well under just the CFLs. I really think thatd be better considering all the risk and faff of taking them outdoors. On the websites it says lowryders can be planted outside until August I think, so the end of September might be too late; not enough light. Especially with out weather. Theyd also get rained on and the wind might damage them. I think of the harsh british outdoors in September/ October / November then I think of a cosy cupboard with a lovely bright CFL... I know which Id prefer! Like I said tho Im no expert

Nice to you around again queenbee! There looking good i noticed mine started to fill out alot in the last few weeks so maybe yours will do the same? Been having a closer look at your pics and you seem to have a few purple stems going maybe some sort of difcenciy? However you spell that lol. Trinity has only just started getting purple stems in the last week or so i think that's due to age though as the purple stems are only on th bigger fan leaves. What i've noticed is though once the stem goes complety purple the leave dies well in my case they have. Just a thought why they might not be budding as much as you want.
