ok here's the skinny.
Joint Dr's lowryder1,2,diesel and his other mixed lowryder hybrids are all 100% auto flowering,and show sex within 17days for males -22 days for the girls...they do flower considerably in the 60 days thats quoted on the adverts.
At 60ish days they will be covered in 50 clear/50 cloudy trichomes and as such give a nice up-beat high.
Altho i tend to let them go to around 75-85 days.. but i like the quite couchy kinda buzz from 40% cloudy/60% amber trichs...
Outside, they take around 90 days to finish properly.
i would suggest if you go for the dieselryder that you aim for around the same 75+days to get the most outta the plants.
original lowryder #1 grow around 20-30 inches, so are slightly taller than most of the other lowryder strains. Its a decent yield for a small plant but does yield less than the LR2 etc.
That is why the joint dr cross bred the santa maria strain into the LR2 mix, to increase potency and yield.
LR2- approx 12-20" in height, grow quite dense foliage, quite fruity/citrus smell whilst flowering but reasonably low odor as a rule of thumb...had santa maria crossed into the strain to improve performance.
Dieselryder - some plants can be slightly taller than LR2..Tend to gow into christmas tree shaped plant with minimal branching, approx 20"+ with a 12-18" long bud.
Some phenos smells very strong...Take approx 80+ days from showing sex to finish how i like them.. good yield in the right conditions.
Havent grown the other dwarf mixes, but i do make my own autos using LR2, just finished making 100% auto ECSDxLR2(east coast lowryder) and starting work on a new strain this wkend that will be east coast lowryder X Lifesaver....But most of the LR based strains are all very similar in characteristics and finishing times etc, whether they be seeds from lowlife/joint dr or Mdanzig, altho the danzig seeds are not 100% stable auto.
When i quoted 1oz+ for yield, that is just my results..Many people dont get near an Oz, some people get frickin huge freaks that yield 2.5oz+.
All depends on the conditions..As with all strains, if they have adequate light,food/water,fresh air,Ph is maintained,no bugs etc they will do you proud.
No 'real light room is needed for growing LR breeds, i use them to fill out the spaces in my grow room, so no light off the HPS and CFL Floods is wasted...But what they mean by no real light cycle, is that you can stick em in with plants that are on a 12/12 flowering schedule and theyll grow, BUT yield will be lower.
Or you can stick them in with other plants youre vegging, on say 20/4 light schedule, and theyll grow well, and still flower regardless.
If youre worried about utility bills if its an indoor grow, you can grow them for 3-4wks on 20/4 or 18/6 and then drop down to 12/12 for the rest of the grow, without a greatly noticable drop in yield...One thing is for sure, these things need a rest each day and seem to grow considerably if you let them rest a lil...So i wouldnt advise using a 24/0 schedule, give them between 4-6hr to chill out.
hope thats a help
