Thought this was pretty cool, dont know if you guys have already seen it not not:
LOWRYDER
Auto Flowering. ??Cannabis lowryderus??
Lowryder is a new variety of drug cannabis with unique characteristics.
Aptly named for its low profile (both literally and figuratively), Lowryder was developed for extreme rapid growth (life cycle is 8 weeks from seed to bud!), uniquely short height, and amazing versatility.
Passing directly from the seedling to the flowering stage, Lowryder altogether does away with the vegetative growth stage, in a process we like to call autoflowering. In other words, you plant it, it sprouts, grows a couple sets of leaves, then immediately and automatically begins flowering (males at about day 17, females at day 20). As a result, it is the quickest, most compact, and most easily concealed plant available.
Autoflowering: A Revolution in Cannabis Cultivation
Indoors, Lowryder completely eliminates the need to induce flowering by reduction of day-light hours; indeed, it eliminates the need for a timer, period. It will grow consistently well and finish under 24 hours of light, from sprouting to harvest, in eight weeks, although you can achieve similar results with 18 hours of light per day, if you like to give your room time to cool down, for example. The point is, with Lowryder, there is no need for a change in the light period to induce flowering, nor is it necessary to have separate vegetative and flowering rooms.
Outdoors, Lowryder can easily be kept concealed because of its small size and early flowering, whether planted in fields, in gardens, on patios or even on windowsills. When planted in the spring, it will produce ripe bud earlier than any available variety. It can be planted, grown and harvested several times per season (in one??s backyard for instance), without attracting undue attention. Due to its lightning-fast life cycle (8 weeks), Lowryder can be planted up to early August. It can be easily and successfully grown in the most unlikely locations, from Alaska and Canada??s Arctic (Lowryder will flower and finish in the continuous light of Arctic summers) to the urban apartment balconies of the world!
Having no vegetative stage, Lowryder can??t be cloned or regenerated, for all intents and purposes. Replanting seeds is a must. But then, this plant??s unique advantages do away with any reason for cloning in the first place. In any case, seeds are easier to transport and handle between two countries or parties ?? Lowryder seeds in particular are quick to germinate and have a high success rate (germination approaches 100%).
To complement its unique characteristics, Lowryder??s final appearance, taste, and high, have nothing to envy of the finer weed varieties, an excellent smoke with high potency and amazing resin production. You almost have to see it grow before your own eyes to believe it, but the proof is here. Lowryder is stable and reliable in its properties, a product of nine generations of selective breeding, and is non-deviant and hermaphrodite-free. Lowryder claims direct descendance from superior William??s Wonder and Northern Lights no.2 indica, as well as a more exotic, virtually unknown short variety believed to be descended from ??Mexican Ruderalis,? an experimental cross created over 25 years ago.
Lowryder??s unique genetic and practical advantages insure it will find an important niche in the world of fine cannabis, as well as the medical user??s backyard pharmacopoeia.
I found this strain on Marc Emery's website...
