Introduction
I am currently growing Lowryder original genetics. I acquired my seed from the best company ever!
www.lowryder.co.uk they have the fastest worldwide shipping I have ever experienced. I got to talking with one of the employees (could be owner) named Tom. I got into the refferral program and now I can offer you a discount! Use this
discount code "
SD2596" (without quotations) when you order to get 5% off your purchase. Wish someone did this for me, but its ok the seeds are very good well priced. If you order from that site with the discount code you will get the same seeds and plants as you see in my pictures. I will be growing half my plants for smoke and half my plants seed!
I love to grow lowryder because it is an experimental strain, not well know by most growers; who can say they grew a runderalis strain? With the autoflowering characteristic you can use advanced techniques to improve the potency and yeild. I would like to get everyone's tips on that. (Example: On an old forum I read that 3days of straight darkness before harvest will make your buds explode with resin! Is this true??? I dunno!)
Seed and Strain
Lowryder - short autoflowering plant cross between Ruderalis and Indica/Sativa. I got 100% germination rate but I always do. I will explain how latter in the post. Please standby for pics I'm only starting to get this thread ready. Autoflowering means you need no timers for your lights, you could grow this plant with almost no light, or on a windowsill. I went the opposite direction and left my lights on 24hrs and will leave them that way through flowering. The Increased daylength will induce sidebranching and produce the shortest possible plant. I keep the flouro lamps about a 1/4 inch for the very top of the plant at all times; Sometimes touching, its safe and keeps your plants from streching.
Lights, Soil, Surroundings
Lights - dual 4 foot flouro hung over a tray for catching runoff water. (80watts) Plus extra compact flours for flowering (total 160watts)
Soil - Miracle Grow Soiless Mix - Females in 1.8Liter pots after sexing.
Surroundings - FLAT white Interior Latex Primer. (Works Good)
Tempuratures - Room ranges from 22-28*C or approximately 68 - 85*F
Humidity - Changes with room tempurature but I keep lids on all open water!
