 Voodoo's CFL Lowryder #2 growlog

Sup guys, this is my first grow. I am growing some Lowryders #2 under a 300 watt CFL in my attic. umm that basicly sums it up...
here are the first pics. they all just sprouted today. i originally germed 6 but one spilled out and i lost the seed 
they are outdoors temporarily. i will move them in once i get everything setup in my attic.
i'll post new pics every 10 days of growth.

Awesome, looking good man! Looks like you got a pretty good germination rate there, besides loosing one (i lost a couple germinated lr#2 seeds myself when i did my lr#2 grow lol.) I'm definitely keeping tuned into this grow :-P
I just started a few lr#2 myself. These babies are just over 1 week old, they just started to pick up speed on vegging.

You are probably going to need, at the very least, 8 of those 65w CFLs for 5 plants.

Thanks man!
I would suggest around 3 42w CFLs per plant, but the more the better, of course.

Instead of paying those 5-8 dollars per bulb you could get one of these. http://www.htgsupply.com/viewproduct.asp?productID=51907

hey do you guys think that 100 watts of CFL light is good enough for veg? i have my 5 babies under 100 watts of cfl right now. they are about 4 days old and lookin great. i plan on putting 100 watts per female once they show their sex (so if i have 4 girls i'll get 400 watts of cfls).
just wondering if 100 watts is good enough for veg or would i benefit from more watts in veg stage?

The more watts, the quicker they will grow. I would try getting at least one 42w CFL per plant, but if 100w is all you can muster for the time being, you should be fine.

hey guys they're alil over a week old now.
    
i just put another 120 watts of floros on them. now they have 220 watts. i took these pics last night and this morning i went to check on them they all look good except one of them has droopy leaves all of a sudden. it has been getting rather cold at night (in the 40s outside but probably 50's in my attic) and the soil has stayed moist for almost 3 days now. im wondering if the leaves drooping is because of overwatering or because of cold. i don't know any ideas?

damn man, good job! those are looking good. I usually notice drooping leaves more when they are very thirsty for water but it could be over watered. Is there holes in the bottom of those 16 oz cups to let excess water out?

Mine are at like 21 days and are showing signs of sex, three of the four are female. half of them are only growing 3 points on each leaf on all their sets. Have you noticed that with any of yours? They are sure smelly though, my huge thai haze skunk isnt producing any odor but those 4 tiny lr#2's are smelling up the area within 3 feet of them.
I'm going to move them into larger pots either tomorrow or saturday.
How are yours coming along?

well i have kind of bad news. i had to move my babies out doors. I put them in a little area behind my house in a lil brushy type area next to a little man made pond. no one really goes back there except spanish people who mow the grass around there once a week. im hoping for the best that they make it through.
i dug holes and added my own soil mix before i trans planted them. in them that is potting mix, perlite, verm, peat, a organic nutrient that is mainly chicken stock, powder oyster shells and gypsum.
before i put them out there i took them out of the attic and put them in the garage before they made the transition. they were out there for a few hours, when i came back in the garage i could smell chron already, i was suprised because these little things are only a couple inches tall and are only about 10 days old.
it makes me sad that i had to put them outdoors but i really had no choice  regardless i'm still gonna take pics of them about once a week and keep u guys updated. wish them good luck please !

You said your organic nutrient was "chicken stock" based. The smell of the chicken or the oyster shells could have attracted some kind of animal thinking of a meal. You might want to think of trying a different soil mix next time.

Did the plants survive?

i was thinking the same thing here. i bet you it was an armadillo, those things like to root around in the ground and it looked like the animal was rather large. could have been a dog too which i hope not cus that means someones goin back there w/ the pet which wouldnt be good.
this is the 3rd night they've been out there. i checked on them and 2 of them are missing =( only 3 survive. they don't look too bad other than a couple of them have wrinkly bottom leaves, which i would expect is from all the stress they just went through.
i'm gonna keep a close eye on them and if in the next few days somethin digs them up again i'm gonna have to start from day one again and germ some more seeds. =( sucks but this time i will find a better spot and put a small fence around them (if this grow doesn't turn out)

if it was a person and they stepped again on your property and pulled them out, then it would be a lawsuit against you for them being stuck in a bear trap.
no no no no no no no no bad idea, lol Trust me, our legal system is flawed enough to allow a burglar to fall through your roof onto your dining room table, break it, both his legs, and him 2 sue YOU. That story already took place several years ago.
Animal blood, or human urine will keep animals from going near your plans. Go pee outside near your plants once a day

yea dude they are startin to smell soo nice. i touch the leaves and smell my fingers and they smell like chron. ya i thought i only had 3 left but i saw a lil weed leaf stickin outthe ground and i moved over some pine needles that were covering the plant and i was suprised to see that there was a fourth plant there. its stunted and stuff but if it grows out and produces even a few grams its better than none.
i dont wanan jynx it and i know how unpredictable outdoor growin can be so im not gonna get my hopes up and say that they're gonna make it all the way but so far so good it seems.
i'm gonna get some pics tomarrow night hopefully
