Hi everybody!

Im TooCoolo, and Im gonna grow a "Lowryder #2" feminized seed from The joint Doctor's High Breed Seeds. No commercial intended, but the previous seed I grew from this same package, turned out a huge long living female plant that now I'm seriously doubting its even a LR2 or auto flower. (It is the one in the right, now almost 4 months old and round 0.5m tall...)


So yeah, we can all agree that doesn't look like a LR2 Auto...


I'm not an expert, but I've grown a few plants enough to pull this one out and share the tips and tricks, the success and/or the failure with all of you.

I'll post several times a week, with pics, to show the progress and process of this little beauty that everybody's talking about. I'll do it my way, but y'all can contribute; You're free to post and give tips or corrections, and show off your LOWRYDER2s plants, or just post to say hi or give opinions or whatever.

But most important: you're free to plant one of those seeds yourself and follow me with this little quest and see how each plant behaves on different parts of the world.

I'm growing in a pretty good latitude, or so I've heard: I'm in Barcelona, Spain. Outdoors, in pots with good direct sunlight from 9am til 5pm, and good light for close to 15 hours a day. Good humidity, lots of sun, wind, etc.

Be patient as I will be, since this baby is suppose to be ready to harvest in 9 weeks.


So lets start! The sooner we get it to germinate, the sooner we'll taste her sweet sweet buzz! Get your seeds!



MATERIAL:
I'll be using through the week:
-Crystal shot-glass
-Pure mineral water (bottled or filtered's better)
-Dixie Cup / plastic cup / small pot, to hold the baby plant once germinated.
-A plastic dome to emulate a mini green house for the baby. You can use a clear tuperware or some package from take-away food.
-Substrate, aka earth. I use Biobizz light-mix.
-A good fatty for when each and every task is done!





Day 1: Germinating The seed.

So by now I'm assuming everybody knows a technique to germinate a seed. I won't go into the many ways of doing so, cause its all said, but I'm gonna tell you what I'm doing:

I've found that a pretty good way to germinate a seed, is to drown it in a little shot-glass full of pure mineral water. Just fill the glass, and with your CLEAN hands, drop the seed in the water. It should float on the top. Now what we need is to let it rest there for a day, in a DARK WARM spot, preferably with a constant temperature. I simply cover my shot glass with a dark cup, and let it rest in my living room, where is warm, inside a cabinet.

So that's it! You can smoke a j now!




Tomorrow I shall go check the seed, and if everything's ok, the seed should be sunk in the bottom of the glass. We'll see.

Tomorrow if everything went ok, we will plant the seed in a small pot/dixie cup/empty yogurt cup with some soil-mix.

Until then, please support this thread, let me know if you're following and what you think.

See you soon! Happy Tokes!

Cool man! Lets do this. I'm sure the Miracle Grow soil will be as good as everything else.



DAY 2 !

Alright, so my little seed sunk all the way to the bottom of the glass, as you can see on the picture. Also, its pretty obvious that it germinated, cause I can see a little white tail sneaking out of the seed.


yay!

So now I'm putting this baby in a cup of Biobizz's Light-Mix, which is the same soil I use through the whole process. Its supposed to be good as it reduces the stress of transplanting into a different soil.

I use an empty yogurt cup, but any cup will do, as long as you pierce it a little with a knife or something, to create water drainage holes. I made 3 little holes in the bottom and 2 on the sides using a kitchen knife. This also helps the transplant later on.




Carefully deposit the seed barely 0.5cm into the soil with the knot facing down if posible, and water generously with pure mineral water. The seed might then get a little deeper into the "mud". It must never be too deep into the soil.





Thats it! Now I'll cover our new baby with a plastic dome that I found. You can use a clear Tupperware or anything similar. The reason for this is just to make a little greenhouse-effect, by holding the humidity and higher temperature inside the dome.




I'll keep her covered for the first few days, while I make sure the soil's always humid, but not damp wet. After the first big shower of today, I'll wait until the top of the soil looks dry and crusty, and then I'll spray water again. The first week, I ONLY SPRAY WATER, and only when needed.

The baby and the dome will stay in my garden, in a place with lots of light but not much direct sunlight. (If you're doing this inside, make sure she gets 18 hours of light a day, and to keep her in a nice warm spot.) After a week or so, if everything goes well, I'll transplant her to a bigger and definitive pot.

So that's it for today. Lets make a J to celebrate the birth of my new baby...

Cheers everybody!
TooCoolo

The Auto Flower strains, like Low Ryder 2, are plants that don't depend on the light cycle to determinate when they start flowering. At least in theory, this strains will end growing and start flowering 6 weeks after planted.

This is because the strain has been crossed with rudelaris strains.

Good luck!

Day 5

On this side of the garden, everything's looking good so far. The baby y rising towards the sun. After the initial abundant watering, I have only sprayed her once with some pure mineral water today. Aside from that, she's on her own!

Come on baby Lowryder! GROW!!

Nice thread chief. Any chance of an update soon? I started a femmed Lowryder x AK-47 seed today and I'm curious to get an idea of what I should expect. Never grown Lowryder before so keep the thread updated with pics and what's working/not working with your grow! Thanks and keep up the good work.

I just harvested my last Diesel Ryder last night. I will never let anyone put down a strain just because it's an autoflower. These little girls were excellent. I made sure to get plenty of seeds, so I'm set to grow these for a long time.
