Lowryder – The Joint Doctor
 
This is the strain that changed everything. The first commercially available auto-flowering cannabis variety rocked the ganja-growing world by eliminating the vegetative stage of growth altogether.
 
Lowryder seedlings begin flowering immediately after establishing their first few sets of leaves no matter what the light cycle, indoors or out. This allows the outdoor guerrilla farmer to finish short, stocky spears during short seasons and harvest before the choppers even get started – year round in some climates! (In Spain, the Joint Doctor’s new feminized auto-flowering plants are all the rage.)
 
With its incredibly short life cycle (eight weeks from seed to bud) and discreet profile, the Lowryder’s appeal for growers is easy to see. Smokers will appreciate the added potency that’s been bred into the newer versions such as Diesel Ryder, and breeders will appreciate the opportunity to experiment with auto-flowering as well.
