Lowryder Strain FAQ
Is it true that I should not repot an autoflower? Why?
If you wish to grow autoflowers, you should start them in their final containers because they don’t have much time to recuperate once moved. Even a day or two of the vegetative stage lost due to transplant shock can significantly impact yields.
However, if you insist on transplanting, make sure that the grow substrate is the precisely same. Also make certain the medium is moist in the seedling container by watering it a few hours before transplanting. When the material is overly dry or damp, there is a great risk of damaging the roots.
Transplanting should only be done once the roots have grown to their full potential in the container; otherwise, the soil will fall off in clumps with the roots still attached. Wait for the autoflower to get a little root bound before attempting to remove it. Because there are so many variables, starting the autowith the final containers is preferable.
Are autoflowers sensitive to overwatering? How should I water my Lowryder?
As mentioned, the fast life cycle of autoflowers means they don’t have a lot of time to recover from stresses or injuries. And overwatering causes a lot of stress.
When watering cannabis, how do you do it right? Begin by not watering your plants on a regular basis, but rather when they need it. Allowing the soil to dry completely between waterings is always recommended. Lifting the pots is a simple technique to see if your plants need watering. A dry pot is much lighter than a wet one, so you should be able to tell the difference. If the soil is still damp, don’t give it any water. It’s better to be safe than sorry when it comes to overwatering.
How do I feed a Lowryder plant?
Besides overwatering, overfeeding is another common problem among autoflowering cannabis growers.
When provided just the appropriate amount of nutrients, autoflowering cannabis plants thrive. Many soil mixes already contain enough macronutrients and micronutrients to support plants through the seedling and vegetative stages without the need for additional fertilizers.
Don’t feed your autoflower cannabis plants for at least two weeks after germinating, as standard potting mixes should be adequate up to the flowering phase. Werecommend waiting until your plants display obvious signs of malnutrition, like yellow leaves, before supplementing with nutrients. Once the bloom stage begins, you can start providing solutions specifically for this phase.
Organic soil can also be used to cultivate autoflowering cannabis. The plants will receive all the nutrients they need to thrive until harvest, and you won’t have to give them more. However, due to the sensitivity of autos, it is critical that you don’t add too much organic compost to the soil, making it too “hot” with nutrients and detrimental to plants.
What’s the best grow method to employ with Lowryder plants?
The Sea of Green (SOG) method is a cannabis cultivation technique that involves planting a large number of small cannabis plants, typically 2-4 inches tall. The plants are then allowed to grow for 6-8 weeks before being harvested. This method is often used by commercial growers looking to maximize yield, but it can also be used by home growers who want to speed up the cultivation process. There are a few reasons why the Sea of Green technique is so effective. First, it allows for more even growth since all of the plants are the same size. Second, it helps to ensure that all the plants receive an equal amount of light and nutrients. Finally, it allows growers to harvest their crops more quickly and with less effort. If you’re looking to get the most out of your Lowryder plants, the Sea of Green method is definitely worth considering.
