whiskeyriots first grow - lowryders!! - Grow Diaries - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

Well, i got all my shit and im ready to go.

im basically going for a no hassle, minimum effort grow to see what happens.

i didnt want to spend alot of money buying expensive lights, ferts and such and such so i have a bog standard setup.

1x 125watt Envirolight
4x Plantpots
10x Lowyrder seeds
1x Crappy old boiler cupboard a.k.a The Growroom
1x Bag of compost
1x Bag of Perlite

i will not be using any ferts or added nutrients other than the bag of compost i will be potting them with.

you may wonder why im even trying to grow anything, especially lowryders with what i've got... well i'll tell ya, its just a new found hobby and im tired of never being able to get hold of ANY weed and even if each plant yeilds less than 5grams, i'll be happy that i might have learnt a few things along the way to try and aim for 10grams per plant next time.

i hope this grow diary helps out any noob kids/students/layabouts that just want to grow a little mary jane for personal consumption.

good luck, keep us posted!

DISASTER!!!

my homemade hanging system for the reflector has backfired as the usb cables i slotted through heated up and melted the light into itself... AHHHHH!!

luckily the seeds havnt germinated yet so i've been on Ebay ordering a new one which hopefully should arrive just in time for the little ones to have sprouted and be in need of the much needed light they require for the 4 week powergrowth period.

Seems like Envirolites can get quite hot too

Good Luck with your new setuP.

and get a rubber maid container, line it with mylar.. ur not being very efficient

whiskeyriot · 10-19-2006, 09:28 PM

thanks for the inspiration, those lights look pretty cool, how much would they set you back? i found a rubbermaid.. cant i just use tinfoil?

10-19-2006, 10:12 PM

Well, tinfoil reflects 30-40% of the light (if you put it with correct side facing light) while white plastic / paint or mylar reflects 80-90% of the light..

whiskeyriot · 10-19-2006, 11:11 PM

which is the right side, the shiny side or the dull side?

10-19-2006, 11:21 PM

I would NOT advice to use tinfoil, I never used it but I have read that it can create hotspots..Anyone can confirm this? White paint/plastic, mylar > tin foil.
