personally, i can't for the life of me understand why anyone would want any autoflowering strain.
even if it was the most kick ass weed ever, you can't control it, you can't clone it, not in the sense that you can with a normal strain (and i know that autoflowering is 'normal' for ruderalis strains)
as users and, more importantly, as growers, we should encourage everyone to stay away from these strains. if people don't buy them, breeders will quickly lose interest.
anyway, just my opinion (and you know what they say about opinions)
I think these plants have carved out a special niche in the cannabis world, they're fast growing, high yeilding for their size, and small. These qualities make them invaluable for people with little space indoors or out, and you get your weed sooner than regular MJ.
If you want to propagate, just put a male and female together and get seeds the old fashioned way.

with cloning, you can produce more bud, faster than any autoflowering strain there is.
My understanding, from reading and word of mouth, is that these Lowlife guys have bred popular high potency strains with lowryder, to achieve a decent potency and yield with a small and very speedy plant.
And it seems to be working out. The only people who I've ever read bashing Lowlife (these new cross bred strains) strains are people who haven't tried them.
As for everyone who has tried them, and then posted on the internet about them, they're very pleased with the results.
So, I suggest giving Lowlife a full test drive before slamming it.
think about it man, with a plant that flowers automatically, you can't control it and you can't re-produce it, one seed, one plant.Quote:

a plant without the autoflowering, ruderalis gene can be reproduced innumerable times, one seed, 500 plants, and, they flower when you tell them to. how can you beat that.
hell, ask the master growers what thier opinions are, i'd bet money they agree with me.
i see nothing wrong with autoflowers....... not everyone wants to grow 500 plants and not everyone even has the room......autoflowers are great cuz you can grow year round outside, or if you are limited on space and can only have one grow box you just set the lights at 18/6 and you can plant more seeds and put them in there whenever you harvest some.......or whenever you feel like it. i know these strains aren't for everyone, but they do serve a purpose..........there are pro's and cons.................
I can see where both sides are coming from in some ways yeah they are a bit pointless for a normal grow because you can just flower normal strains as soon as the veg stage starts and get bud in the same time.
I was actually thinking of getting a few diesel riders why? because they can sit in veg under the hps and flower whilst my others are coming along and i will have something to smoke whilst i wait also for outdoor growing they're brilliantly practical they wouldn't be noticed with other plants whearas a five foot budding monstor in your garden may arouse suspicions so theres some good uses but i agree they should not be used as a replacement for cuttings.
When I say sooner than regular MJ Im referring to normal growing, as in it could take 5 months for a regular strain to grow, but lowryders take only 2 months, and not everyone can or wants to run a damn cannabis lab with 20 cuttings of different maturities to keep a continuous flow of bud.Quote:

Look, the seeds aren't expensive (considering they're cannabis seeds). Most seed banks carry them. Buy a pack, grow some, and THEN you can give people your opinions.
Until then, don't hate, appreciate. :D
no thanks, you keep 'emQuote:

i just disagree, the autoflower trait comes from the ruderalis genes and it will create problems for growers for years to come.
at least the growers that want to control their grows.
like i said, you can keep them, i'll stick with something where i'm in control and not the plant.
well does any one want to give me some of there extra autoflower seeds i cant seem to find them any where:) hook me up someone
I think the most logical response to the lowlife AF diss is that everyone is different. That's why we have such a variety of strains, grow methods, smoke/vape methods, etc Maybe some people like simplicity in that you just plant, feed, and as in most AF strains, never change light schedule. No major setup, no cloning, no crazy specific nute regimen,etc.. Maybe some people dont want or have space for big grow ops or just want some personal use bud every 2 months. It basically is ideal for those that dont care to get heavily into growing.
To me, if you want the ideal situation (think sum1 already mentioned) you should grow AF dwarf while starting normal grow then in 2 months u got bud and bout ready to flower your normal grow,best of both worlds. Don't discriminate, show love for all MJ things, god gave us the seeds, we each chose our own grow method in life. I always tell people they should vape instead of smoke and why i can argue the point well, i dont care because each way of consuming marijuana is personal preference. :thumbsup::hippy::jointsmile:
I enjoy both sides. I grow outside during the summer but I also like having AF's growing on the side inside. They are small so I get to have more control of my house, no need to devote a whole room no need to adjust climate less energy use, no need to worry about light leaks. True with a mother you can get a lot of clones but those clones won't finish any faster then an AF and then you'd need at least two separate grow areas one for the mom and and plants that are in their veg stage and one for flower. Outside I get nice full trees that I can patiently wait to finish. To me its just a win win...its all good.

great article :thumbsup:
Good read reaper, thank you for sharing that.
Reaper good read. Fortunately like most things the technology has improved in the last seven years. I also think that indoor grows have also improved and there are a lot of people who would argue that their indoor grows are as good as if not better then outdoors.
i too was an autoflower hater, but due to my current situation the size that i have to work with they are the best option for the moment, not everyone has room for a mother/clone room or cabinet and many people dont know anyone else who grow so they dont have a secure access to get clones, so autoflowers filled a niche and it seems as long as pot is illegal theyre will always be a demand for it, besides im intrested in seeing the plant in action,
I have 3 mix dwarfs going outside n ow and I just germed 2 more and potted them yesterday. they are under cfls inside with my big bud girls 2 weeks into 12/12. I am having a great time watching these little buggas take off. at least I will have smoke while I wait for my B.Bs to mature. Thinking of getting some auto Diesel Ryder next.
my lowlife auto ak/bb is good so far planted 3 1m 1f one still hasnt shown at 32 days so idk what the deal it buts they seem good will no for sure when they are done
i would not want to run AF indoors because you need to veg for a particular size plant and you dont have that control but lets say youre in cali and want to stay within you legal numbers and grow outdoor and have a few harvests a summer. you would have to do light dep which is a pain or you could use AF plants and when you cut your numbers you just plant more. that or maybe for beginners that want to just do one or two and dont want to worry about lighting and light leaks and such.
