low ryder auto?

hey guys, just after startinig lowryder auto flower,

are these strains 12/12 from seed?

anyone had any experince growing lowryder auto flowring plants or 60days wonder?

any tips on growing these strains?

no autoflowers require 18/6 or 20/4 or 24 hours continues .

i have seen growes where they have been done in 60 days with hydro but with soil in my experiences its about 70/80 days .

you can do a bit of lst to allow the most light to the lower branches but thats about it .

I've done both Lowryder Purple Jem & 60 Day Wonder in soil. Both showed sex after two weeks from sprouting under a 400w MH on 18/6.

I found 18/6 to 20/4 best all the way to harvest. One time, I set one 12/12 HPS because it was along for the ride with a regular flower grow, and the yield suffered. I found they actually grow better with the long light; no induction to 12/12.

personally now i find doing regular seeds from seed on 12/12 lights you yeild a little bit more plus you you can take cuttings from your babys as flowering dont start till around week 3 so take cutting around 2nd week .

but i just dont like paying for seeds all the time .

thanks guys, that purple gems look tasty,

LOWRYDER PREFERRED GROWING METHODS
Indoors
Lowryder performs very well in soil mix (pots or beds) or in soil-less systems, where it can be cultivated from seed to bud in 2 months (18 hours of light per day is recommended all the way through). Switching light cycles down to 12 hours may diminish yields and shorten the already-short life cycle slightly. Because Lowryder’s life cycle is so brief, cloning becomes impracticable, so only plants from seed are grown. By default, Lowryder is a great choice for sea-of-green.
Because flowering plants and seedlings can be maintained in the same room, Lowryder presents new possibilities for the small to medium home grower, including “staggering” your indoor harvest. A true continuous harvest system may be achieved by planting new plants periodically to replace the ones that have been harvested. This ensures that a grow room is always full and always producing fresh bud, and one never has too much work at once.

For best results, place jiffy pellet or plant directly into 1-2 gallon pots. Alternatively, start in 4-inch peat pots, then place rootbound females into a plant bed after sexing (at approximately 17-20 days). This may result in smaller plants than the first method. Grown under a 12 to 24 hour daylight cycle from start to finish. Recommended is 18 hours per day; this can be decreased to 16 after the first month with no loss of yield.

Outdoors
After soaking, sow directly into soil in 2 gallon pots or plant beds. New stands of Lowryder can be planted up until late summer to ensure a continuous harvest outdoors. Avoid transplanting if you can, but do so if plants become rootbound. Remove rogue males at three weeks.

CHARACTERISTICS

Lowryder virtually does away with the vegetative growth stage: it passes almost immediately from the seedling stage to the flowering period. To our knowledge, Lowryder has the shortest known life cycle and height in the cannabis species. Male plants may be identified as such after approximately 17-20 days, while females show themselves a couple days later. Plants will even flower under a continuous light regime.
Lowryder females usually grow no taller than 16-20 inches and 12-16 inches is typical. Light intensity, pot size, and proper pH all play an important role in determining the size of plants at maturity – the better the conditions, the bigger the yield. Plants produce one main cola, although when they receive adequate light, lower nodes branch out profusely.
Yield and height are dependent on obvious growth factors. For example, plants kept in small peat cups on a windowsill may yield as little as 1 gram and grow no taller than 6 inches, with no branching whatsoever; while a plant in a 4 gallon container under high intensity lighting and good cultivation methods, can turn into a profusely branched, 2 foot wide 45 gram bud monster.

FERTILIZER

During the first two weeks of growth, Lowryder should have weekly light feedings of a “grow” type nutrient solution with micronutrients. When plants pass into full flower, they should be started on a “bloom” regime for weeks 4 through 6. Mycorise-type biological amendments (root stimulators) seem to increase growth significantly.
AVERAGE FLOWERING TIME

Indoors: 40-45 days (after a 15-20 day seedling stage)
Outdoors: Ripens approximately 60 days after seed is sown.
Note: 100% of plants display the auto-flowering genotype.

AVERAGE HEIGHT

Average Lowryder height is 12 inches. Minimum: 5 inches. Maximum 16 inches. Lowryder height is very light-dependent, with slight phenotype variations.

LOWRYDER YIELD

Depending on light and other factors, Lowryder yields up to 45 grams. One report even claims 96 grams for one exceptional plant under hydroponics. Lowryder is extremely light-dependent in terms of yield. Without adequate conditions, plants may stay extremely small, almost comically so – but still produce a decent smoke.

BUDS

Buds are compact and close quartered, slightly irregular and variable, with high bud/leaf ratio. Thick pistils, with orange coloration, and medium-sized, individual calyxes. Tends to be top-heavy indoors. Typically, budding sites start very close to the ground.
HIGH

High is uplifting, surprisingly strong and well-rounded. Best suited for outdoor activities.
SMOKE, SMELL AND FLAVOUR

Smoke is smooth with pleasant, earthy undertones. Smell is not overpowering. Unique flavor, with echoes of Northern Lights and William’s Wonder in the bouquet.
JOINT DOCTOR'S FURTHER INFORMATION ON NUTRIENTS

"I get alot of requests for more info on nutrient needs for Lowryder. This is a hard question to answer as it depends how much money you want to shell out for nutrient products.
I get Advanced Nutrient products (many say the best) at a discount and I have adapted their formula for my own use. Advanced Nutrients provides a complete program for an 8-week grow and has a guide for different growing mediums.
For the first two weeks, I use what they recommend for seedlings.
Then I use the Micro 2+ Light Feeding program for the rest of their life cycle. I usually skip week 3 and 5 to bring it down to a 6 week program which I begin as soon as lowryders are sexed.
I know it sounds complicated. Obviously all this is not needed.
As a rule of thumb, treat Lowryders like seedlings for the first 2-3 weeks, then switch them onto a light bloom program. So, you feed them a seedling/transplanting formula the first 2 weeks, then switch to a bloom fertilizer with something like a 5-10-5 or 1-2-1 ratio of N-P-K.
Give them a feeding of bloom fertilizer every week on weeks 3,4,5,6. Just pH-balanced water on week 7. Flushing solution on week 8.
Or for organic freaks, just plant into organic soil mix with bat guano mixed in... and put away the calculator."
