Yer plants would be huge...like beanstalks

would it be good or bad?

That all depends on how big your room is...

what would the yeild be how long will it take??

on 24/7 lighting, there will be no yield because the plant will remain in veg state.

good luck

Unless you have an autoflowering type. Dont lowryder flower no matter what the light cycles are, as long as they are vegged long enough

Well I hope he doesn't mean 24/0 for the entire grow. I hope he knows that you have to give them 12 hours of light or less to induce flowering.

For veg 24/0 is fine. There's always a big, useless debate about whether to go 24/0 or 18/6. It's up to the grower really. If you give them that 6 hours of darkness they have better root development and you save money on your electric bill, but if you keep the lights on all day they'll grow faster.

Indoors, Lowryder completely eliminates the need to induce flowering by reduction of day-light hours; indeed, it eliminates the need for a timer, period. Yes, it will grow consistently well and finish under 24 hours of
light, from sprouting to harvest, in eight weeks. You can achieve similar results with 18 or 12 hours of light per day, if you like to give your room time to cool down, for example - 18 hours straight through until harves is
recommended. The point is, with Lowryder, there is no need for a change in the light period to induce flowering, nor is it necessary to have separate vegetative and flowering rooms.

got that off of dope-seeds.com...so lowryder is autoflowering and you don't really have to change the light to 12/12 to get it to flower...adios

No one I know that's grown lowryder was impressed with it whatsoever. I have beans where it was used as a cross but i'll never grow 'em out because my experience with autoflowering plants hasn't been good. In my experience, it's tricky to get an AF plant to size...and you end up with small runt bushes that suck and don't yield worth a shit.

but yeah..if you wanna grow 24/0...lowryder could be an option.
