I want to grow Lowryder 2

For 15 LR Plants you might want to go 1000 watt.

 

Get you're soil from a nursery. The best all-around soil among growers is Fox Farm Ocean Forest.


(note i'm not taking credit for i did not write this, but i found a grow-guide strictly for low ryder)


OFFICIAL LOWRYDER GROW GUIDE (10/04) - written by the Joint doctor

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 two 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. Click here to learn more about the Joint Doctor's “1-2-3” continuous harvest method.

For best results, place jiffy pellet or plant directly into 1-2 gal.pots. Alternatively, start in 4-inch peat pots, then place
rootbound females into a plant bed after sexing (at approx. 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. I recommend 18 hours per day; this can be decreased to 16 after the first month with no loss of yield.


Outdoors: sow directly into soil after soaking, in 2 gal. 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. Rogue (remove) males at three weeks.


Growth Factors

Lowryder is extremely versatile in that it can be cultivated in virtually any climate or grow environment. In fact, it has pushed the envelope of growing, enabling early harvests in unlikely places like Finland, the North West Territories, and other northern, short-season, or high altitude areas. It is also well-adapted to backyard gardens, windowsills and patios where plants can be easily concealed because of their tiny size.

Nothing will mature earlier or faster than Lowryder! When other varieties have barely begun flowering, Lowryder outdoor growers are kicking up their feet and already enjoying their fresh harvests.
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 approx. 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. 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 g. 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, two-foot wide 45-gram bud monster.


Fertilizer: During the first two weeks of growth, Lowryder should be 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 approx. 60 days after seed is sown.
Note: 100% of plants display the auto-flowering genotype.

AVERAGE HEIGHT
12 inches. Minimum: 5 inches, maximum 16 inches (very light-dependent, with slight phenotype variations).

YIELD
Depending on light and other factors, Lowryder yields up to 45 g – one report even claims 96 g for one exceptional plant under hydroponics. 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 are compactand 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 is uplifting, surprisingly strong. Well-rounded. Best suited for outdoor activities. Smoke is smooth with pleasant, earthy undertones. Smell is not overpowering. Unique flavor, with echoes of NL and William's Wonder in the bouquet.


JD on nutes:

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 LRs 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... .​

 

Nice grow guide, Inferior. +rep to you.

 

You can find a few people's experiences with the strain here in this forum -

friend dont grow lowyder2 feminized because they are hybred seeds and feminized seeds can go hermie very ease and a lot of things could go wrong ihave 2 and man big problems maybe because my first grow i was waiting for 9 week from seed to be harvest but its going to take more than 12 weeks so dont fully ur self. grow big buds dude but my next strain will be LIGHT OF JAH or AZURA. YIELD very good and THC very high too but more money for the seeds but more buds man, u are better grow 1 plant and get clones from and make as manys u want and freeze the rest of the seeds for 1 year and still good

 

HTG is a reputable company, several members (including myself) have ordered from them with great satisfaction. If something breaks they honor their warranties.

yep i have a 400hps from htg good people to order from and the sip not lot of money at all but a 600w u can grow 20 to 30 plants if u have space for, but dont grow lowryder feminized ur first grow lowryder are the ultimate hybrid seeds so a lot of hermies could show if u dont take care very good a 600w is a lot hit man and u need a big space like 10feet by 10feet and 12feet tall and lot of ventilation and in take and out take just get a 4oow MH and ballast for MH like s59 i think my is only for hps i think is s51 but i use for MH too go to worldwidemarijuanaseeds and by single seeds dog i did and they ship in 5 days from UK. i am in massachusetts and my are 6weeks old and no sign of flower yet, thats bacause i stress them lot like fert, light too much,hit lot ,600 good more yeild but more hit man and put hit on this thing HTG the best people to deAL w/ i get lowryder because they only take 9 weeks from seeds if u take care realy good i mean condtion temp, ph and all this things ok and now they are 6weeks old and no buds yet so its going to take 12 to 15 weeks lol.

 

Sounds like a good plan. Have you considered growing Hempy? That's kind of the best of both worlds, the performance of hydroponics with the simplicity of soil. Hempy plus good nutrients (my fav is AN) makes for some very nice buds.

 

Do yourself a favor. Order am AC hood from HTG. Get a Growbright Fan Carbon combo. If you do, youll have the same setup as I do.

I got my from HTG. Its great. I love it. I also want to do Lowryder.

 

I'm 5 days into a Lowryder 2 grow, thanks for the guide InferiorZone, and I'll get back to you when I have something to report.

 

I bought seeds from the Joint doctor. 5 Feminized Lowryder seeds and one was a MALE.. They are not to be trusted... This is just some friendly advice
