LOWRYDER #2 Lowryder #2 is bigger, more bushy and makes more buds than the original Lowryder and because of this, produces a much bigger harvest. A negative point is that #2, because of its size, is a little more difficult to hide in the garden. This plant is a mix of Northern Lights, Santa Maria and a ruderal. The ruderal genes make it possible that a light cycle of 12/12 is not needed for the plant to start blooming. In a way, it starts to bloom right after germination, even if the plant is in the light for 24 hours a day. Furthermore, Lowryder #2 will stay quite small (50 - 80 cm.) and will be ready for harvesting 9 weeks after the seeds are put in the ground. F1 hybrid In my opinion Lowryder #2 is wrongly referred to as a F1 hybrid. The number 2 is a Lowryder - Santa Maria cross. Where the auto flowing trait is given on to the new strain through several times breeding back to the original Lowryder. The outcome can never be a F1 hybrid, because a F1 hybrid is a F1 mix of two different true breeding strains. As a result of this, the Lowryder #2 is not completely stable, as would be expected from a F1 hybrid. Although, al plants have the auto flowering trait, there is a diversity in appearance, from more indica like to more sativa like. But what needs to be said is that the Lowryder #2 is giving a much bigger yield than the original Lowryder and the diversity in the strain can in time easy be taken out by careful selection in the breeding process.
