Just been browsing through many of the threads on here about topics on autoflowering plants. I just want to get my tuppence worth in on this debate. The Lowryder has been out a few years now and since then has developed into a great cross bred vairety. NYC x AK47, Diesel x AK47, Santa maria, etc etc etc....
I know a lot of you slag them off...mainly for yeid and inferior stone.....But lets just step back and take a good look at this strain.
I actually its the best thing to come out of cannabis culture since feminised seeds. When Fem seeds became available they were really expensive and many were not stable, resulting in hermies ..etc. Over the period of the last 8-10 yrs, female seeds have become as cheap as regular seeds. Thanks to greenhouse company you can buy 5 fem seeds for as little as £16.00.....simply unheard of 10 years ago when Dutch Passion were selling 10 for around £100.
Now here we have a fairly new type of cannabis strain which incorporated the russian Ruddudalis (spelt wrong im sure) which is a hemp plant but auto flowers!! Hence why so many lowryder strains are low in thc........but give it time, like female seeds the auto flowers will soon be bigger bolder and more powerful. Were most grow no taller than 20" tall, expect to see sativas, indicas and outdoor strains autoflowering and growing to 4-6 ft tall.
Now imagine the groth of bud on that!!!
Im just saying, give it time, the seed prices wil fall and the potency will get higher.
I love them, i have very limited space, and never need to go to a dealer again, the savings i make are amazing, also not every smoke i want has to be the high, to reach all highs, im happy simply being stoned before bed!
So keep supporting auto strains, i think there amazing!!!!

but the other statements i agree with
autoflowering is a trait to be cherished more.
it is a way to pull a top crop out of season .
autoflowerings allow you to grow all your crop outdoors= great!
only...like you said... the high just isnt there...YET:)

i think auto's are the future of cannabis cultivation, ok you cant please everyone, some ppl still would rather buy regular seeds than fem's.
Anyhow each to their own!

if the gene gets crossbred it means auto bud for us, that has the potential to be much bigger and stronger (depending on strain)
on the other hand, if its done to such extent that you couldnt buy the un-auto'ed strain then all we'd have is auto crossed with everything.
though im sure people were reacting the same when femmed beans came out, so each to their own.
i myself, am doing a seed run with LR#2 at the moment (18 hours with 3 normal strains vegging, by the time lr#2's are done the veg'ed plants will be huge and ready for flower) and in the future, if i decide to, could cross some over with a low odor strain like hash passion and even get em in the greenhouse (cuz LR#2 fuckin stinks B) )
each to their own, now i need some bong hits cuz all this writings making me dizzy

Get a decent strain. Mother it, clone it, bobs yer lobster.

I feel now that you are better off with a normal strain for indoors but if you have only the choice of the sun then i would deffinately have them as part of my arsenal with some regular plants for the proper harvest at the end of the year. The new DP autos look interesting with their purple outdoor strain but they only do fems which is a bit shit if you want seeds coz you cant clone them!
Imagination is more important than knowledge, for knowledge is limited while imagination embraces the entire world.

Hi there,
I thought I'd pipe in on this.I am doing a seed run with two Breeders Choice
Affy/Diesel Ryder and hope to get seeds. I like them for what they are.There is
a lot of people who like them and don't
4 weeks. I have regular strains goin but the Lows have there place in my book.
If I end up with good seeds, I will try them outside this summer. Anyway...
that's my two pennies worth.
