the one on the right looks ok, have you been flushing?.
any better pics, use a blank back ground for a better focous, also does your camera have a marco/or a flower symbol. thats best for taking pics."just trying to help".

what have you been feeding and how long?.
have you started to flush?
what lights?
you say 54 days? 54 days what? 12/12?.

dude definatly dont be using tap water ever always use distilled water and u should keep them on the nutes for at least another week possibly raising the dose and after a week stop feeding them the nutes and if the ph doesnt go down much by it self then u need to flush them but u really should have vegged these a little bit longer im not the guy who tries to get bud as quick as possible u lose the quality of the bud when u do that u should always be patient and give ur plants the time they need to grow but just remember that for future refrence but i'd like to have some lowryder it seems like a lot of people on this site grow lowryder but i have smoked it and it is delicious but i have yet to grow it let me know how everything goes i wish u the best of luck with them just remember next time give ur plants more time to grow take it easy bro

nah its ok to use tapwater as long as you leave it sittin for a few days first,,some flowering nutrients stabilize the ph of tap water,,,i prefer to use bottled water tho,,,

I think that u should be on 12/12 and IMHO if they were mine I'd think about axing those bleached leaves

Ok thanks, but as for going 12/12 and vegging these are lowryder 2 autoflowering??I don't control the veg cycle on them they are meant to be that size as they flower themselfs by age, and the light at 12/12 wouldn't be enough they need 18/6 all the way through or 24/0. I think i'll give another dose of nutes and flush next week then cut them down and i'll use distilled water see if it makes a differance.

if you use tap water (like I do - but not for much longer) you may want to consider using a nutrient designed for use with tap water. The only one i am aware of is General Hydroponics Flora 3-part. The Micro comes in a "hard water" version.

A good way to determine if the weed is good to cut from the vine is if it is for the most part brownish hairs maybe 70-80% the bud should be fairly compact and firm when you lightly squeeze it. Try not to use tap water because it contains bleach to take out bacteria, this is more so safe for us to drink because we have adapted but your plants will not and its best to use distilled or filtered water. Its also a good idea to spray them with a little bit of carbonated water because your plants will feed off CO2.

Thanks for the advice, if I spray them would I not be wetting the bud then?If it best to spray with the lights out? I think they'll go another two weeks then Bud is still loose and white for the most part.

I dont think u understand 12/12 is used for flowering/buding/blooming and 18/6 or 24/0 is for vegging the only reason they flowered is because they are auto flower but they should be on 12/12

I understand what you mean with the lighting but what is the point in having an autoflowering plant if your going to switch to 12/12 anyway, through all the reports I've read on Lowryder 2 and from the offical website they say leave on 18/6 the whole time leaving a slight dark peroid i've seen grows where people have turned to 12/12 and they have lost out on yield and the plants took longer to flower.

yes, follow the seed bank or experienced growers instructions for auto-flowering. I'm pretty sure most of us, like myself, have no experience with an auto-flowering strain. :joint:
