Optimal pot sizes for Lowryder #2

[beek]

Got some LR #2 seeds.

And of course first question .
Can anyone tell me what are optimal pot sizes for growing Lowryder #2 indoors.

 

[midwestganja]

I would say 2-3 gallon for best results.

Thanks for quick answer midwestganja. Quite big pots huh.

What is on the other side absolute minimum that will still guarantee good growth. Let me be clear here. What size would guarantee that plant will yield at least 3g and not die in the process...

i would say a minimum of 5L (like 1.5 galons). Also keep in mind LR#2 roots like to go deep, so the deeper the better. No way u will yield less then 5g per plant, in good conditions of course.

nice output Jonesy. I'm hoping to get anywhere near 10 gm per plant under a 400HPS and this gives me hope :smile:

best yeild from an auto i saw was 4oz from a BubbleBucket, think it was a 3 gal bucket.

man, that can't happen often... thinking the scales are out, in the WRONG direction :smile:

my hope is to run 10 fems in 5-7 liter pots, in pre fert soil - from there I'm hoping to pull 100g

 

[midwestganja]

Can you grow them in 1 gallons? Sure, but they will be rootbound and not very happy in most cases, it will also affect your yield. Do a side by side with a 1gal vs a 3gal, you'll see the difference. Nothing less than 2 gallon as far as im concerned.

Peace

Some nice suggestions. It seems it is futile to grow them in 1l pots. Maybe next time after this first seed run

You'll end up with rootbound plants producing not much in a 1l pot.

I wonder if it's errors like wrong pot size being used that earned the LRs their "low yield" reputation?...it may well be a one off pheno, but Corks mate seemingly rocked out 100g from one plant... and thats not to be sniffed at, at all

well like I say mate, I'll be plenty chuffed if I get 10g per plant in a 5 liter - I'll chalk Corks buddys experiance up to being one of those rare times that someone got lucky with their pheno :smile:

thats a good point about not having time to correct mistakes too...
