hello, this is my first grow and growing a lowryder #2, i know its autoflowering but can someone tell me how long light should i give, right now i am giving it 18/6 , its 6 days old, here is picture:

There are a few people that do 20/4 on them.They say it makes tighter buds.

18/6 is ok.
20/4, 22/2 or 24/0 will work ok too

You definitely need more light for an appreciable yield. If you are located in the US you can pick up a bathroom fixture for 7-10 bucks. With some socket splitters and 6 26watt CFL's you can put out a descent amount of light for both veg and flower.

Just a word of caution, it looks like you may be overwatering your little one. Make sure that you dont let the soil get really soggy as you can reduce root growth and be at risk for infections. Its better to water less and add more if you see issues than it is to just soak the soil.

For AF's you should keep the light schedule on 24 hours or 20/4. With low light levels, however, I would keep it on 24 hours. You can veg the same way with your WW, but the difference comes from how flowering occurs. You will have to use 12/12 to get your WW to flower, which is not necessary for your LR2.

hello , thanks for reply, is my light 18watt or 100watt, and its CFL right?, i germinated 2 g13 power skunk and a white widow so now i have 4 plants how many watts do i need now and also i heard that i have to use 6400 k in vegging and 2700 k in flowering so how can i do that also do u think my plant is a bit slow growing ? i germinated it 6 days ago now its here (i've broken 1 leaf accidently thats why it has 3 leafs):




thanks for your time

You need to go to the store and find a CFL that fits your lamp with the most lumens. Then i would suggest letting that soil dry out a bit.

It is 18W advertised as "as bright for the human eye as a 100W oldstyle lightbulb". I can't tell you if it's a CFL, I am not yet really familiar with the English grow vocabulary.
"G13 Super Power skunk" or whatever the name - I do not know this strain but it does not exactly sound "cheap and good for beginners" to me. Well now it is there, good luck with it.

And I second all that madgravity said.
Just that 4 of those CFLs (s)he recommends (~100W) will also work imo, but more Watts (e.g. the 156W (s)he suggests) will most probably raise the possible yield.

while i was reading forums i learned that the part that i broke is called cotyledons and its very important for the plant:( do u think will this plant grow good without one of cotyledons
