Ive been thinking for quite a while now bout growing my own little stash of weed, so i wont haf to get it from some next guy tryna hustle me, and i havent grown ever and i dont know what all this hybrid, cloning and all that crazy stuff is, so i looked some seeds up and read that theres a strain called Lowryder which is supposed to be perfect for beginners... anyone got any info? like how good the weed is, how easy it really is, if youve ever grown it etc?
oh yeah and if you havent got much ifrmation bout 'lowryder' then do you know bout any other plants which are perfect for the first time grower?

Lowryder Seeds - cannabis seeds
personally i wouldnt go with an autoflower strain, id get a good one if i were to buy, go to nirvana seeds or mandala seeds or places like which i keep hearing both to be good and reasonably priced but have never tried personally
it would be best to read a book about the stuff greg green and ed roth.... are good authors. theres plenty of info on these 2 links

you dont care about hybrid and such
look into cloneing as it will make your life much easier in the longrun when keeping a strain going for as long as you can imagine
thanks, i dont really understand the hole cloning concept so ive been looking for guides and ive found a site so im getting there, plus im plannin to start growing in about 4 months time so i got quite a while
When You find a particular strain that you love and you have the perfect female from that strain, and you just wany to grow that one forever. Then you get married! Oh, I mean you clone her. cloning is cutting a branch and growing another plant just like your favorite, or make 20 of the same plant. It will be the exact plant all over again.

Pretty simple actually :smokin:
Don't worry about cloning at this point. Cloning is something that will come farther down the road a few weeks after you have grown some solid plants.
I don't know much about Lowrider other than a lot of people seem to be growing it here because of the perceived ease, short and stocky build of the plants to save space, and its auto flowering property where its pretty much foolproof to get buds to grow (I think?). I am just getting into my 4th week of flower on my first grow and I chose to grow Master Kush. I got 10 feminized seeds from Sensible Seeds | The largest selection of feminised seeds in the market. for $100 and it has been great. I've never grown a plant of any kind ever in my life, let alone in hydroponics, but it has gone pretty smoothly. I haven't given them *too* much stress, but I got 9/10 germinated, 7/10 sprouted, and 7 females and no herms.
I think you will find that most strains will be easy to grow as long as you do enough research before setting out on your voyage to free herb. Its not really hard once you get going and figure out how things work, but if you make sure you have a fairly good base of knowledge, its pretty easy for the most part. Good luck!
If I'm not mistaken, I don't think it is possible to clone Lowryder simply because it has no veg period and goes straight to flowering.
I agree with everyone else, go with a simple strain (not autoflowering) such as Northern Lights. Its hardy and will take just about all the abuse you can give it. Believe me, mine took tons of abuse, and still yielded me 3 and a half ounces per plant plus its potent as hell.
