sorry i hope im not being a pain but can anyone give me som info
on the lowryder srain?

is it grown the same as any other plant?

can i breed the male and female the same?

what is the end product like? high or low?

peace out playas

i was woundering what sort of feeding they require ,
i also heard the smoke is a bit shit . is it so or just noit the same standard as white widow etc

I've been looking into Lowryders for about 2 months now and only just found out their true genetics! Should make for some interesting reading. They are William's Wonder / Northern Lights No. 2 / Mexican Ruderalis, which is no surprise on two counts, but I'm interested in this William's Wonder now.

is that an ounce dry or an ounce wet?

I bought Mr.Nice lowryders and just a few germinated but none grew.
crap.

Mr. Nice lowryders?

The original Lowryders are by Joint Doctor.

I smell a rip-off...

Also, if you think the smoke won't be of high quality you can try on of the hybrids/corsses, there are quite a few going around.

I have 1 link PM me if you want it as posting it on the site is wrong.

lowryders is ditch weed

four20: they were JD actually

I grew some of these out last year too and though they all germinated and grew just fine for me I wasn't that impressed with the smoke.
Better than ditchweed I think but not by much. Grow them if you have some spare space just for the novelty of autoflowering then make cannacream with them would be my advice but don't rely of them for your main smoke not if you're used to widow anyway.

I think you probably had a bit of bad luck, mate.

I was bored, and so I germinated 4 seeds from a seed run I'd done last year at the beggining of the month.
I got 100% germination, and even though they're only 14 days old I think I can already tell the males. In a couple of days I'll know for sure.... Lowryder cracks me up like that, with its outrageous speed of development!
Pics below. Ignore the yellow - bad lighting/camera - the plants are as green as you like.

The ones that turn out female will be planted outside, to evaluate what sort of yield they'll give, left to their own devices... Even 10 grams would be a result.

I think JD, the creator, recommends 20/4 (24/0 only during the first few days of sprouting).
I agree that if you are going to be doing a proper indoor grow, there is little point to these.
Possible exceptions are newbies who have not sorted out all the details of their indoor grow, and people in a hurry who have no clones available.

The smoke is on the weak side, but its not unpleasant... kinda lazy. Actually, I think it might make a fair hash.

I want to see how they perform outside, in nature, with minimal care. If OK, it might be worth doing a slightly larger scale experiment. However, I'm pretty sure LR's future will be in some as yet unknown, potent, AF cross.

novelty crap...

Well, they're certainly a novelty, and probably of little use to an experienced connoisseur grower.
But I think it's a bit too rash to dismiss every novelty as "crap".

An example:- Interestingly enough, fractals were dismissed as "novelty crap" by some mathematicians, and then fractal compression came along (jpg, mp3, etc) and turned a multi-billion industry on its head!!!

If 10 years down the line there are autoflowering strains that are as good as today's top stuff, who will want the hassle of grow-room light-cycles, and all that?
And even if there aren't, good AF strains are still a boon to growers that want to grow outside in extremely northern conditions.

expoiting the autoflower trait will give us so much more choice when considering location, length of grow, etc.
I can only see this as a good thing . For instance I'm moving soon so the HID is redundant, but if I'd got my act together a month ago, I would have a shedload of LR in the garden now ready to cut down just before my move.
of course if i had the luxury of a six month un-interrupted grow there's NO way I'd waste my HID rays on 'em

I've heard lowryders are only worth growing if it's a low-buget 1st time grow or for selling.

hm?
I gave them a try. Very fragile plants at first, not the best germ rate, 8/10. They were Thrips magnets. High was ok, nicely balanced, not very strong or long lasting though.

I guess if u cure it well enough it cant be 2 bad

Hey DJ,

Give them a raz mate, watch the lil buggers grow before your very eyes,

Cheers,

Magoo

Oz and half off this one dry,

Not bad for some ditchweed, lololololololololol

Cheers,

Magoo

Hey GL,

Indeed mate, indeed, I thought the purpose of a growing forum was to recieve postive feedback.

But sometimes that is not the case on here, there is alot of neg vibes about the LR and most of it comes from ppl that have prob never grown the strain, leave em' to it ! !



Cheers,

Magoo

im growing em at the mo. check out my post in guerilla section..

I ll let u know in amonth or two what all the hype and hooplas about...

Very nice there Magoo. Kept that one quiet, didn't we?...

I just bumped onto this thread and just read it from the beggining.
Quite funny actually. Especially after a morning cuppa and a small soldier.
(I call them soldiers with my mates, and depending how strong they are, give them stripes )

True... there is so much negativity,... and above all, ignorance.
Remedy:... take 2 tablets of "Ingore them" Once every morning.

I only listen when they actually put their grow diary pics in their mouths first.

Otherwise, the net is full off expressfull posting divas.


If after 2 months, you are standing there with some ready to smoke mj, and the other one is still waiting another 2 months for his......
Then I wonder who the happy puppy would be....

Peace.

So true. LR just wasn't the strain for me. And I prefer clones to seeds anytime anyway.

I have original seeds of joint doctors

see pict

Yeah im growing hybrids at the mo, ak47 and mantuskan thunderfuck
Out of 13 seeds 8 germed threw others away after 2 weeks...

Im growing outside in wales with unlimited root space, need lots of though.

There doing alright and well see in a month how good they really are.

Yes. LR need bigger pots than supposed.

i have seeds of AK 47

Good for you

Grow the badgirls......

i like ak 47 for smoke but not for growing...i like lowryder cuz are smoll and good and nicely i have just 100KM to shop joint doctor so when i need original seeds i go buy it

Hey MG,

No hush hush bout it mate,

You can check it all out on nute def in the non organic sec, , got more crap cos of the strain, yet again MG from ppl that have never grown it for themselves, not bad for a first grow hahahahhaha, love it

Cheers,

Magoo

Two Lowriders

As I mentioned earlier, I was going to put 4 Lowryders outside for evaluation.

It didn't quite work out that way, in the end I put one outside in my garden - it was the 5" dwarf pheno, really stealth, I could chat with my neighbours over the fence and have them visit/inspect my garden easily with no chance of noticing. Obviously, it wouldn't have been as steath if I had 100 of them (which is really what you need, if you want a crop), but still shows you how steathy they are.
Plant as many as you can next to a row of purple sprouting!

I kept a a second one inside, in a deep pot on the sill. It didn't get as much light as the outside one (in the glorious days we've had) plus it was taller to start with, so it got a bit stretchy - forget the ccompact bud pics you've seen from indoor grows.

I cut them both on 60 days, I could easily have left them another 10 but my intention was never to smoke this as bud - it's going straight into my hash-trim stash. Lowryder hash is not half bad, BTW.
Having said that, the outside one has a really appealing lemony-slightly peppery smell, which makes me want to try it - although I find LR bud soporific (some people actually like that!).

The indoor one has a similar smell (they started out identical), but is somehow danker / less fresh. No substitute for mother nature and hot summer sun!
The indoor one is on the left (about 14" tall) the outdoor one on the right(about 9" tall). The outdoor is much heavier and compacter, with fuller calyces, which you might be able to see if you enlarge. (I estimate the indoor one would have gone to 20" tall if planted outside, with about double the yield.) I'll but some pics of the yield up in a mo.

OK, here's the mega-yield from the two plants (outdoor on the left): Whadya reckon? 10 grams ea. dry? Ha-ha, only if you're very lucky!

Still, it was completely effortless, stealth and free, and in the right cabbage patch...
I also got no pests, no slugs and no mold/fungus, which is good coz the garden has lots of all of the above.

I'm 2 weeks in with the joint doctors Lowryder.All 10 have germed,roots showing nicely through 3 inch rockwool cubes and am potting up shortly.I've got them on 24/7 but am going to change to 20/4 if that's the optimum for lighting.

I think it is daft to diss them out of hand,as it's a different plant to all other strains and it's pointless comparing it against anything else.On the plus side,it's obvious stealth,and good maybe to grow for people with health/mobility issues as it's obviously a lot easier to tend.

If it does in the end produce crosses with the desirable traits of the plants it's being crossed with,well,Lowryder's gonna end up a fucking star,time will tell.

I've started them just to check out the crack,but also I'm growing these for seed as my bruv has got an apartment in Tenerife,and we're gonna carpet bomb his patio with them,fill 2-3 sqm with 60 or so as it's not cool to show plants growing above the line of the balcony wall,so Lowryder is perfect for this.If it's a bit on the weak side I'll just make hash and oil out of it.
