Lowryder?

[orangeman]

Well, I've heard of low ryder and I'm trying to grow outside and I was just thinking..I've seen a few low ryder grows so I'm here to ask a question. Does the low ryder strain get it's name from the size it gets or somethin? Does the low ryder strain grow extremely small, or just smaller than regular plants get? Because I'm trying to grow outside, we have a protective fence so no one can see but still, I dont want it to be that big..so some one help me out.

They start to flower when germinated. I can't see them getting any taller than 1 to 2 foot. As soon as seeds become cheaper and easy to get I will get some to try.

...it being an autoflowering plant...

So it's a ruderalis type strain?

If you could explain Ruderalis to me that would be nice. From what I have heard it is a strain in Asia but my info may be wrong.

Lowryder is a small "dwarf" plant made The Joint Doctor. It was made after ten years of experimenting by the Doc. The key was crossing it with a mystery auto-flowering plant. It rarely reaches heights above 1' and the yeild is so-so. However, if you are looking for power don't look to Lowryder.

Ruderalias is a cannabis species that flowers by the age of the plant and not by the photoperiod and doesnt produce as much THC content as indicas and sativas do. But I've heard that some produce pretty good amounts of THC.

[mightymarijuanabuds]

thats true ruderalis finishes fast under any photoperiod and stays small .. .ruderalis strains produce little / no thc, but don't apply that to lowryder

lowryder is a hybrid of ruderalis and some other strains... i think a NL of some kind is in there and williams wonder, i forget what else

the point is that the ruderalis in lowryder is not that evident. you can breed anything down to isolate a trait, and thats all they did with lowryder, was isolate the autoflowering trait, it still produces very nice smoke, maybe not cup winning smoke, but good enough to match or beat anything you find in a baggie. alot of people talk shit on lowryder simply because it has ruderalis in it, sayin it is low potency and whatnot, definately not true. there are also 2 new hybrids (master low and power stout) that are both autoflowering and higher potency than the original lowryder... . all autoflowering plants will finish between 1-2' tall... . since the higher potency varieties are out now, i would suggest going with one of them over lowryder just because they are better smoke than lowryder..... however lowryder should be potent enough to keep most of us happy

sure, if you're a hardcore pot snob who grows nothing but cup winners then you will probably not be happy with lowryder, but for the average person who would like a couple tiny plants to hide in the landscaping it is a great strain

last i checked lowryder seeds were not expensive, maybe $45 for a 10 pack at drchronic... and i know the other 2 autoflowering hybrids are available at seedboutique, i am about to try out this powerstout for my next grow
