These are things you NEED to know when you want to go and breed!

1. Do you want cuttings or seed?

2. Do you have a good spot to breed youre plants?

3. Are you able to take good care of them?

4. Deseases and insects and stuff?

5. Harvesting?
 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
First of all

First of all: Buy cheap seeds when you start growing! That is because your first grow is not always good. Most people don't know much about growing there own   marihuana and just start somewere. Thats not a good idee! Mostly of all those people screw their pot.

When you are growing your own M, you have to know what your doing. You need to have plenty of light (16-18 hours a day with growing an 12 hours when you are flowering) and enough water and ventilation.

1.
If you get seed you're not sure if it is a male or a female you're planting, exept when you bought female seeds or femenized seeds.
If you have cuttings you actually make a clone of the other plant so you are sure you have a female plant.
It is known that seedplants grow better then cuttings, and have a bigger harvest.
It's also known that cuttings grow faster because they don't have to grow only flowering.

2.
You got to have a right spot beacause the plants don't like it to be moved every time!
You got to have a place where your plants have daylight at day(duhh) and complete darkness at night.
If they will see only a little light they think it's morning already and after a while they will start to stress out. You can see it when the plant has purple branches.
You can also put it into full ground, but the plants hasn't got enough food and will need some food now and then.(No sandwich but plantfood xD)

3.
Growingfase
The treatment is different in the growingfase than in floweringfase.
You can get a breedscedule to see it but it is not much used in outside breeding.
Every breed starts with the breeding fase.
This will end in juli because the days become shorter and that's a signal to create buds for the plant because Fall is comming.

floweringfase:
When august is comming nearby the plant will make te first buds.
This will start at the top of the plant where the new leaves form normaly.
There will form a little ball with very much white hairs.
After 6 or 7 weeks thit little ball is become a big bud and the ehite hairs will become brown. That's a signal that the floweringfase is almost to an end.
When 80% of the white hairs turned brown it's time to harvest.

4.
Deseases and insects:
With every outide breed one of the biggest problems will be insects and deseases.
One of the most common are:
 1- Slugs                     
 2- Red spider-mites     
 3- Plant-louse           
 4- Catterpillars
 5- Budrot
 6- Overwatering
 7- Overfeeding

How do you know if you have any of this:
1- Holes in the plant and slime on the plant and around it
2- Webs between leaves and the leaves turn yellow and brown(protection= Masai-Bayer)
3- Best to kill with ladybirds. Youre leaves stick together and it looks like there is a sort of honey on it
4- Giant holes in your leaves, but no slime so you know te difference between the slugs and these animals.
5- Budrot start when your plants get wet and don't get dry. The water can get into the tops and start rotting. You have to remove your whole bud then. When you have budrot the bud will become brown. If it's rotting just before harvest you can harvest it and when it's dry you can cut the rotten peases out.
6- If you give to much water the water removes all the oxigen out of the ground and the roots can't get any oxigen anymore and then you can see the plant hang it's leaves down. So don't give anymore water then because you think it hasn't got enough water!
7- Overfeeding is a very common problem in the breeding fase. Don't give to much feed because they are still small and they don't need so much feed. The symtons are that the leaves getting yellow, so don't think you gave not enough feed.

5 Harvesting
Around septober or oktember your buds will be almost ready to cut.
Look carefully if 80% of the tops are brown-colored and that the tops are very hard.
First cut al the branches of and then the smaller leaves and maybe some budrot.
When your buds don't cary any leaves you hang the buds upside down in a dark dry room(no darkroom:P)Take care of good ventialtion because budrot can still form!
Feel every day if the buds are dry yet.
After 10-15 days your buds will be dry.

AND THEN YOU CAN SMOKE IT ALLLLLLLLL!!!!! Grin Cheesy Wink Smiley


I hope you learnt something about his.
I did this in 1.5 hours so i didn't want to do this for nothing Tongue

Please reply what you think of it Grin

Nice guide Earlyrider. I think it took a lot of time to make it, so we really appreciate this!

Question: I want to put my lowrider outside. Is that possible? It's a indoor... Wink

Yeah you can put the lowryder outside!
Probably the website will tell you that the 'best way' is inside for the highest harvest.
What kind of lowryder are you breeding??
Last year i had lowryder#1 in my garden but when i went on holiday no-one took care of it so they died Cry
