first time grower and im stumped

isnt lowrider a sativa.

Nope. It's (based on) a mexican ruderallis. But all the Lowryder threads I've seen have the squat indica-like leaves.

EDIT: In these days, leaf shape & plant structure is no longer any use to tell if it's indica, sativa, ruderallis, or a hybrid.
