Chronic Ryder
Chronic Ryder
Also known as: Red Chronic Ryder, Red ChronicRyder
Overview
Chronic Ryder is an autoflowering cannabis hybrid created by crossing the legendary Chronic strain with Lowryder #2. This strain was developed by The Joint Doctor (under Doctor's Choice), the renowned breeder responsible for creating the world's first commercially available autoflowering cannabis strain. The Joint Doctor's expertise in autoflowering genetics is evident in Chronic Ryder's exceptional performance as a fast-finishing, vigorous plant that maintains the quality and potency of its famous parent strains.
As an indica-dominant hybrid with ruderalis genetics, Chronic Ryder typically grows to a compact 60-75cm in height and produces dense, resinous buds with a flowering time of only 9-10 weeks from seed to harvest. The strain exhibits the characteristic fat, fleshy, and dense bud structure inherited from its Chronic parent, while the Lowryder #2 genetics provide the autoflowering capabilities and compact stature. The plant shows tremendous vigor and excels in both indoor and outdoor cultivation environments, making it an excellent choice for novice growers due to its forgiving nature and fast lifecycle.
Chronic Ryder is notable for its intense apricot flavor profile inherited from the original Chronic, combined with citrus and earthy undertones. The strain produces heavy yields of sticky, crystal-covered flowers despite its compact size, with plants capable of producing 45-60 grams per plant outdoors or up to 400g/m² indoors. Its balanced effects and moderate THC content make it suitable for both medical and recreational users seeking a well-rounded cannabis experience without overwhelming intensity.
