Lowryder es sin duda una pequeña y exotica planta. Esta variedad de canabis auto-floreciente fue creada orginalmente por un hombre conocido como The Joint Doctor. La lowryder y sus parientes solo crecen unos 30-40cm (12-15 pulgadas). Las lowryder crecen bien en cualquier condicion de cultivo pero crecen mejor en exterior en latitudes norte, donde el fotoperiodo durante los meses mas calurosos del año no es favorable para las plantas de cannabis normales. Tambien son plantas que pasan muy desapercibidas debido a su reducido tamaño. La mayoria se mantienen por debajo de la vegetacion que las rodea manteniendolas fuera de la vista de curiosos.
The Joint Doctor crecio rodeado de cannabis y pronto desarrollo una sana relacion con la planta. En sus primeros años cuidaba del jardin de cannabis de su padre como parte de sus tareas diarias. Mas tarde empezo a cultivar sus propias plantas lo cual le resulto bastante sencillo. Durante sus años como cultivador de exterior enseguida se familiarizo con Cannabis Ruderalis. Es una subespecie de de la cannabis sativa de pequeño porte y floracion temprana, la cual tiene la inusual cualidad de florecer bajo cualquier tipo de luz.
Para que podamos entender la historia de la Lowryder, primero debemos echar una ojeada a la subespecie Ruderalis. La variedad cannabis ruderalis se describe como una variedad casi salvaje o una subespecie de la cannabis sativa que escapo de las plantaciones de exterior en el norte de Rusia y otros lugares de Europa del este. Los dias en estas areas pueden ser muy largos en verano (alcanzando 24h de luz) por lo que la planta desarrollo la inusual habilidad de florecer independientemente de las horas de luz. El inicio de floracion de las ruderalis no se activa segun el fotoperiodo como en otras plantas de cannabis sino que se activa unicamente segun la edad de la planta. Estas plantas empezaran a florecer incluso con luz constante cuando tengan unas 3-4 semanas. La mayoria estaran listas para ser cosechadas aproximadamente a las 9 semanas desde la germinacion y pueden producir unos 50g por planta, dependiendo del entorno de cultivo. La caracteristica de autofloracion es recesiva por lo que la seleccion de las plantas correctas para seleccionar dicha caracteristica requiere de mucho tiempo y experiencia.
In order to fully appreciate the Lowryder plant, we have to examine its history. The Joint Doctor first experimented with early flowering strains like Mighty Mite but later developed his own early-flowering strain, called 6-way. This plant was never commercialized but it gave birth to the idea of a fully automatic cannabis plant. Some of the components that led up to the first version of the Lowryder plant came into The Joint Doctor's possession through an acquaintance. They were given to him by a Mexican man called Antonio, who soon became a good friend. Antonio had been collecting and growing unusual cannabis strains for over thirty years and one of the strains that he shared with The Joint Doctor was called Mexican Rudy. The Mexican Rudy was short and flowered earlier and faster than anything that The Joint Doctor had seen before. The lineage of this mysterious plant is a bit unclear since part of the name clearly refers to Cannabis Ruderalis, while the other part suggests Mexican origin. One theory is that the Mexican Rudy was actually an experimental cross of Russian Ruderalis and a Mexican Sativa, made sometime in the 1970's, possibly at the University of Mississippi in the United States.
The Joint Doctor realized that the Mexican Rudy had great potential and that it could serve as the back bone for his auto-flowering hybrid but the plant lacked the taste and potency that you would expect from a recreational drug strain. While experimenting with various plants, The Joint Doctor crossed the Mexican Rudy with a Northern Lights #2 female. The results were pleasing, so he further hybridized the male offspring with a William’s Wonder clone. From this second generation of hybrids came a selection of extremely short and fast-flowering plants. They started flowering under constant light so the best ones were selected for further multiplication. All the subsequent generations retained this auto-flowering characteristic. The hybrid, dubbed simply Willy’s Automatic at first, became the basis for the Lowryder strain. Some also speculate that the pedigree of the Lowryder might have taken an alternate route and that it is actually based on a form of early-maturing industrial hemp, called Finola or FIN-314, which was developed by an American scientist for growing outdoors in Finland and other northern countries. Nevertheless, the end results are pleasing and a lot of work went into refining the strain for recreational use while still retaining the auto-flowering properties of the Cannabis Ruderalis ancestor. The Joint Doctor then grew out the variety on a small scale, selecting the best individuals for another five or six generations before it became commercialized. Unfortunately, Antonio passed away before the Lowryder's success was realized. Still, its notable presence on the market today is nothing but a tribute to his work. Part of him lives on through the legacy of this wonderful little plant that The Joint Doctor and others have since refined into perfection.
The Lowryder plant has been criticized for its lack of potency but the truth is that this is not hemp, far from it. The potency is quite good, if not great, in some of the more highly refined strains regardless of the Ruderalis heritage. It goes without saying that the harvestable bud on these small plants is not astronomical in weight but that is beside the point. These plants are grown for their unusual traits, not the amount of bud that they put out. For some, they are the only choice for a short outdoor season. I think that it is safe to say that the quality of the bud harvested from any plant is partly up to the skill of the grower and these plants are no different in that respect.
Since the birth of the first Lowryder plant, The Joint Doctor has continued his work on these amazing auto-flowering dwarfs. The more highly refined Lowryder #2 was created by crossing the first version of the plant to a strain called Santa Maria a.k.a. Planck. Santa Maria is a very potent cannabis variety that stems from the Brazilian part of The Amazon rainforest in South America, where it has been used in religious ceremonies for ages. It greatly improved on the characteristics of the first Lowryder plant, adding more flavor and taste whilst boosting potency. More recently, The Joint Doctor crossed his Lowryder #2 to Soma's New York City Diesel, thereby bringing the Diesel Ryder to the scene. This highly resinous strain normally favors one big main cola and was perfected over the course of some years in order to ensure that the plant takes on the excellent taste and high of the NYC Diesel whilst retaining the auto-flowering trait. This plant is more refined than all the previous versions and can be considered one of the best that he has to offer. The Joint Doctor also provides feminized versions of his plants, including an AK-47 and Lowryder #2 hybrid, called Easy Ryder.
Tambien hay otro habil criador de especies auto-florecientes llamado Mdanzig. Tras leer un articulo sobre la Lowryder en la que estaba trabajando The Joint Doctor, se quedo muy intrigado por esta nueva y pequeña maravillosa planta. Su mision, asi como la de The Joint Doctor, es create una variedad automatica incluso mejor. Tras cultivar Lowryder durante varias generaciones, se dio cuenta de que un hybrido auto-floreciente mas grande podria ser muy util y desde entonces ha contribuiodo con una seleccion de plantas automaticas.
Todas las plantas de The Joint Doctor y Mdanzig son el resultado de años de cruces de expertos, lo que significa que todas son hibridos de cria verdadera (true breeding). Si cultivas sus variedades obtendras resultados constantes.
There are also some interesting Lowryder hybrids offered by Lowlife Seeds, Dinafem, Kannabia, Flash Seeds and several other breeders. Their plants include Lowryder hybrids of AK-47 (a.k.a. Minigun), White Widow, Hindu Kush, Mazar, Blueberry and Skunk #1, just to name a few. Recently it seems like several new seed banks have emerged that specialize in auto-flowering hybrids and they also offer their own creations. There are certainly some real gems to be found among these seeds although the plants might not be as highly refined or sure to auto-flower as the originals created by The Joint Doctor. Coincidentally, many of the new hybrids contain the same strains that The Joint Doctor worked on for a long time in order to create his plants.
There is also a myriad of privately grown auto-flowering hybrids in circulation. Some of these include purple varieties and hybrids made with elite clones. The Joint Doctor recently released a new colorful version of the Lowryder, called Purple Jems. The plant was originally created by a private grower named Mossy, using highly developed Mazar genetics. This plant breeds true for the purple color and provides even more hope for the bright future that awaits the Lowryder family. Purple Lowryder varieties can also be found in the Lowryder Mix from The Joint Doctor as these seeds contain random samples from many different generations of plants.
La Lowryder y todas sus parientes no solo son buenas para cultivos de exterior sino que también lo son para principiantes buscando una planta fácil de cultivar en interior que les sirva como introducción en el mundo del cannabis. Aunque las Lowryder no necesitan un periodo de oscuridad para florecer, tampoco les afectara negativamente tenerlo. Las Lowryder son las plantas mas rápidas en florecer, estando listas bastante antes que cualquier otra variedad indica. También tienen una estatura bastante baja lo cual las hace ideales para lugares donde la altura es un problema. Las lowryder se pueden cultivar en tierra, en hidroponico o en cualquier otro método con resultados similares.
Las mejores variedades auto-florecientes todavía se dice que vienen del pionero, The Joint Doctor.
