i agree 20.4 is the best, the plants need time to rest and take in some oxygen. Plants give off co2 in the day and absorb o2 at night. The hardworking lowryder needs a little rest, and it will do its fair share of work. When i left my lights on 24, it was just like diesel said, they get all funny. It seems like whenever they get some darkness, they just thrive much more, as darkness is natural, wouldnt anyone go slightly bonkers with 24 hours of light for 8 to 9 weeks?

when i topped my diesel, i got two colas just as big as a single cola, when i did a double pinch, i got 4 decent sized colas, but the plant wanted to topple over

those who have experience with lowryders usually say go 18/6 or 20/4. all plants need some dark time to grow to their full potential

I am never afraid to be wrong but i can't see how topping could possibly benifit an auto strain. It has a limited time to do its thing, injuring it is bound to set it back. Size is such an rough measure. What were your yeilds [in weight] on the topped plants vs. one that was left to grow naturally?

They all yeild about the same, with the 4 cola being shorter, but the untopped plant of mine is damn near 2.5 feet tall, the topped ones are around 1.5 to 2feet. They each look to give me about the same bud. The AK x Kush Autoflower was only 10 inches tall and it gave me 50 something grams dried, and it wasnt pinched

To go with that ak kush, it was branchy as fuck, almost every nug was cola sized, but the potency wasnt all that incredible.

Heres those pics. I didint have a tapemeasure handy so i used my dog as a reference for height. When i took Borat to the vet his shoulders were 27 inches, so go from there. They have until the 28th of July until i cut them. They were started may 15. All outdoors for these, never seen the growlight since week 1. foxfarm nutes

there is one pheno of the Diesel ryder that is tall between 2-2.5 feet and one that is shorter. most everybody ive seen growing it though is averaging about 2 feet

i seeds the tall pheno, ive got a shorter one inside seeded too, let me throw up a pick of how short it is., just over a foot, my plans are for an outdoor multi season, superharvest, cause diesel low is the shizznit. I plan on using a cornfrield, so the bigger the plants for me the better, as for indoor, the smaller ones might make good for a hydro setup
