autoflowering strain...what is it?

[curious101]

I'm using some new seed called early girl this year which is about 90% indica, will this have an autoflowering mechanism since the strain was bread for early harvests

[delta9thc06]

No the only auto flowering plants are in the lowryder family.

[Tom Swierzbinski]

If you want it autoflowering, you can cross it with a lowryder male/female (depending on how yours turns out). The resulting seeds will be an F1 HYBRID. Its not possible to say how much of the autoflowering trait will be carried over, but expect it to be around 25% or so. By planting the Early Girl x Lowryder, you can then cross that with another lowryder, resulting in an increase in autoflowering. This seed will now be a Early Girl x Lowryder x Lowryder. You dont want to do this more than two or three times though, as genetic abnormalities may occour or other undesirable traits, like reduced potency, harvest etc.

Early Girl was bred specifically for outdoor growing in cooler temperatures, i.e. Holland. Although it's mostly indica, I believe it grows quite a lot - and I would definitely not use it indoors.

Dont give advice if you dont know what your talking about. EVER.

Auto flowering means the plant flowers when its mature enough, not on the light schedule.

The auto flowering part is called Ruderalis.

Lowryder is just one of MANY strains that uses ruderalis.

The lowryder gets it from the Ruderalis skunk genes that its made from.

They are generally quicker and easier to grow.

Working on several LR crosses myself at the moment,

I've got Blue Mystic, PPP, Red Hair all drying out full of F1 crosses with a big fat male LR (also got Masterlow x LR just started)

To get LR crosses Auto Flowering here are two ways to go about it, The first is to back cross select (female) plants from a F1 cross with a (male) P1 parent (LR), this should yield all, if not mainly AF seeds, this will give a a cross that is 75% LR and 25% other, WW x LR x LR.

The other way is to grow out the F1's, select the best male and female plants to cross for the F2 generation and do so, the resulting seeds will yield aproxamatley 25% Auto Flowering seeds, now by growing out out crossing any two AF plants from the F2 generation, All the resulting seeds will Auto Flower.;) the strain will be 50% LR 50% other.:D

And eventually....

MJ will grow like watermelon.

One big juicy bud growing right out of the ground!

mmmmmmmm

[Tom Swierzbinski]

Just one more thing to add... if you order, for instance, Masterlow seeds and you have one that doesnt autoflower... stick it under yer lamp on 12/12 for a week, then switch it back to 18/6. This SHOULD induce the autoflowering trait, and it will continue flowering under 18/6, or whatever your lighting schedule is set to.

Good point Tom

[orangeman]

Any marijuana species with Cannabis Ruderalis should be a auto-flowering place..like Lowryder for example.

Joint_Doctor is working on two new strains....not sure when to be released but they are called Lowryder #2 and a full 100% AF'ing Lowryder x Santa Maria called overseas VirginRyder by the some guys in the far east. That was released overseas by JD already but wasn't a full 100% yet.

Oooh!

Sounds good, I have some of the Joint Doctors original Santa Maria x Lowryder on the grow at the moment.:thumbsup:

I've never grown a cross, but im thinking off crossing Indian Skunk x Lowryder.

[Jdog7000]

Why do you guys like Lowryder so much?
That weed is weak.
Other then multipule outdoor harvest per season.
I see nothing good about this plant.
And if thats all your after.
Then I guess thats growing for money.
I grow for quality.
And thats it.

yeah but when you know your gonna get dry in 8-9 weeks (it happens) and youve got a draw full of lowerider....well that wil do just fine for me thanx:thumbsup:

[chisme]

also im gonna try the original lowryder as soon as i get some seeds.......

Yeah goodluck there on the VirginRyder.... I just got some in a trade of MasterLow for some VirginRyder and some wild seeds from India called Karnataka and Orissa. Thats not really the name of the strain but the area it comes from and one is a landrace Satvia and one a landrace of Indica.

I grow for hobby more than anything and its new so why not try it along with the other full size strains you grow for quality. Also you have to look at the stealth possibilities here. Sure its going to be a few years but when you can grow a fullsize LR cross thats 16-24 inches tall and its just as good as your so called quality strains or med strains just like all the other strains a pheno has to come out to be expoited. But in the average persons backyard unnoticed by the neighbors its going to be great. I had 10 Powerstout right in the middle of my backyard with no real cover in straight lines even and my mom never even spotted them or at least never mentioned it. Oh BTW she does know I grow for med reasons. Not everyone has the growing capabilities as everyone else. The shorter grow time for the outdoor northern growers its another option that wasn't there before.

Chis, you want some seeds? My email addy is [email protected]

As for the LR crosses, I heard that an AK47 x Lowryder cross was supposed to be ready for April (this year). Havent seen it though, I think its called Minigun, and it was supposed to be 100% autoflowering.

OK I see now.

I still would rather grow some afghani or some indica like that.
But I understand.It is better then nothing.

What breeder is putting this out ?

Someone on here (cant remember the name) gave me a link to a small seedbank. On there were a few LR crosses, one of them being Minigun. Ill try and find the site again.

Any marijuana species with Cannabis Ruderalis should be a auto-flowering place..like Lowryder for example.
if anyone wants to make his own seeds,for instance the ww,,rud,..etc it is very good possible to use the males and females from the same batch,take only the best looking and biggest of the female and male,and lets pollinate.
the seeds that you will have now are f2 hybrides.
to get back to get the f 1 hybrides
you have to grow all of the seeds you have out,looking for the most lookalike of the previous mother and father,cloone them,thake this male and female and back cross them again,
remember to keep the clones you use and nr or lable them,the seeds that are now coming out are showing you which is the best cross,
so ,it is some kind of work and it takes a while,imagon ,every grow/flower period + drying of the seeds is at least 3 to 4 months

gotta have kaya now!i have a son ,his name is kaya,halfblood babyfrom mother from korea,and he is coming to visit me for 1 month,
thats 15 kilo kaya dayly!
oh my
haha

we mixed it with a more poetent male than the original one,otherwise you would have no harvast at alll

have a nice one :thumbsup:
Mory

pinkchick...do u have anymore info on the early girl stain, i'm growing outdoors and have been looking for specific strain information
