i had 4 out of 5 turn out to be female. They started getting nice nugz on them about 12 days ago :weed:

anyway, what will i yield off each one dry, they have been under a 400watt hps 18/6, and look quite healthy.

im more interested in dried/cured weight, rather than wet.

i did try to search "lowryder yield" but only came back with 2 results.

Thanks.

basically this is what im worried about aftr seeing some of the none auto-flowering plants on here, which have monsterous buds.

If you think it through, well first off its a small plant, secondly it finishes quickly.
You can work it out really, wheres even close to an ounce gonna come from? They dont really start to develop buds until about week 4 (females show sex at week 3 but dont really bud up till week 4), there aren't many budding sites as the size of the plant more or less dictates that, so you have 4 weeks for a 12 inch plant to whack on an ounce from very few budding sites.

I have gotten 500-700g wet per plant of lowryder under 1000w HPS in hydro. :peace:
Got a little over a kilo dry off 12 plants so I guess that is an average of 83g dry per plant. Wow that is pretty good now that I think about it. I got a g/watt off that grow.

over 1/2lb off lowryder? for real?

what was it dry though, i find no point in talking wet....ever.

There as a lot of variation I edited my post to show average dry weight. Some plants grew HUGE others were much smaller. I had them under 24hrs of light the whole time. I think people think lowryder is a low yielder because it is more commonly grown in less than optimum conditions (CFLS, Small spaces, ect.). I was also growing original Lowryder not #2

i thought lowryder original, was supposed to yield about about 18g dry, not 80+.

but yeah, id be happy with 40g dry off each plant.

*shrugs* I think you could get that with the right conditions . . . I really grew mine in close to perfect conditions. They were in an aeroponic fogger system under a 1000w HPS in a cool tube. As a result initial growth was very rapid and the buds were VERY dense. I also think the fact that they can receive 24hrs of light throughout their life cycle contributed to a high yield.

dude - are you seriously saying that you got 80 grams per plant? even 40 is damn near impossible with my experience. i've grown Lowryder #2 twice and have seen it grown three other times and between the two of us, we averaged maybe 20 grams/plant. I use cfl's and he uses 600 watt HPS. He gets more than I do, but I will never grow an autoflower again based on the weak yields. to me, it's simple logic - autoflowers are quicker and yield twice less than normal strains whereas for a month longer, I can get MUCH more bud. I will NEVER grow an autoflower again, but to each his own...

i'm not judging the strain as a whole - if you're informed and decide to pick the autoflower, then that's fine. the only advantage I could perceive is that it finishes a month earlier. if a month is a big deal to you, then pick the lowryder, but if you can wait, you'll get much more bud.

I will say that I enjoyed the lowryder smoke however. it was nice, but again - everything i've grown since the lowryder has been infinitely better. take what you will from my comments. i'd expect 20 grams or so from your plants...

Well you will never get yield with CFL's. Aeroponic systems make plants grow really fast my lowryders were 12" tall before they even started to show pre-flowers. It's a fun strain to grow but I do agree you will get higher yield with other strains.

right - you'll never get a big yield with CFL's, but my buddy's setup is quite nice and he quit growing lowryder due to low yield. I grow for personal use and smoke very little (maybe an ounce a year), so CFL's are great - low electric bills but great buds! otherwise, you'll still get some great smoke from the lowryder #2. even with CFL's the bud was good!

I have been reaserching the shit out of these autos and those yeilds are CRAZY, with those yeilds you have broken records for the strain if it was Lowryder. That is awesome.

LR II is from the Joint DR and is a much bigger plant thanb the original. I have some growing right now and they are packing on the bud for tiny little plants. I have two phenotypes growing , one is 14" tall and buds all over with a strong smell, the other is a 7" tall frosty bud from dirt to the top, it looks like it should be dripping resin and smells like pine needles. I grew them as a tester to see if I like them. The good thing is you can do a seed run and end up with hundreds of beans, then a batch of 20 or so in 1 gal pots from seed will net you a decent bag of buds in 2 months.

For larger yeilds as far as autos go the auto AK47 or a cross will out produce the LRs, they grow much larger than the originals. check out the auto board on planet ganja, lots of info. There really are some good crosses. I have auto white russian, and ak47xblueberry on the way, and three of the AK47 autos just breaking the soil in my grow.

They are testers for now, I have four 12/12 strains growing which will go to flower in two weeks, so the autos will just hang out and do their thing, 1 gal pots fill the spaces nicely between my others. I am real curious about them and wanted to see for myself. From all the grows I read about over on PG those guys are growing some great bud.

They seem to be very popular with the UK guys there, with short grow seasons they can get get multiple harvests.

I grow lowryder AK and they almost always give me about 2 O's per plant dry. Thats under 400w HPS @18/6 for 77 days.

are you doing 12/12?

Unfortunately my low ryders are low priority in the pecking order of my cab. I am vegging some Blue moonshine, skunk #1, and white Russan, the cab is 24/0 right now, I will go to 12/12 in two weeks and the LRs are along for the ride. The LRIIs will be almost done by then, and the LRxAK47s (3)will just grow at 12/12 until the others finish.

I know this is not optimum, but the 12/12 strains are my primary focus. My next grow will be all autos, just to try. I will have a good med supply so they are more for fun than anything else, but if its good bud all the better.

I really don't think and records were broken . . . . Lowryder #1 is too variable some plants grow huge while others are small. I grew 12 plants and there was one that was huge with a lot of branching, another pretty big, all the rest were big for lowryders but some were very small.
I assume that Lowryder #2 is more stabilized and the plant size is more uniform. Probably just like they were meant to be small and low yielding but fast growing. Its a decent smoke too, for small personal grows I would recommend it for larger personal grows or "business" grows I would go with a non auto flowering strain.

my first grow, i have 2 plants, lowryder 2, growing in a small space, 2''lx1''wx7''h, they are 2.5' tall and 13 days old, not good ,under a 400 mh from homedepot then a have 400hps 50.000 lumens, they are very dark green and temp. around 90degrees to 96d w/ lights on, and 80d lights off good vent. MG 20 20 20 and MG 15 30 15 flowering anyone knows if that is a good fert. for flowering no sex yet and i think they are not growing at all anyone can tell samething about that please the plants looks so health but i think not growing for a outoflowering.
