Lowryder F1
Also known as: Lowryder #1, Lowryder Original
Lowryder F1 Strain Overview
Lowryder F1 is a pioneering autoflowering cannabis strain developed in the early 2000s by breeder Joint Doctor (real name: David Watson). It represents a landmark achievement in cannabis genetics as one of the first commercially successful autoflowering strains, combining Cannabis ruderalis genetics with traditional indica and sativa varieties. The strain was specifically bred to complete its entire life cycle in approximately 8-9 weeks from seed to harvest, regardless of light cycles, making it revolutionary for discreet and rapid cultivation.
The plant exhibits compact, bushy growth characteristics typical of indica-dominant hybrids, reaching heights of only 30-50 cm (12-20 inches) at maturity. Its appearance features dense, resinous buds with orange pistils and a frosty coating of trichomes. The leaves display a deep green coloration with occasional purple hues in cooler temperatures. Lowryder F1's most notable feature is its autoflowering capability, inherited from its ruderalis lineage, which allows it to flower based on age rather than photoperiod changes.
As a foundational strain in the autoflowering cannabis market, Lowryder F1 has been used extensively in breeding programs to create numerous subsequent autoflowering varieties. Its development addressed the needs of growers seeking quick harvests, small plant sizes for discreet cultivation, and simplified growing requirements. The strain maintains historical significance as a genetic bridge between traditional photoperiod cannabis and modern autoflowering hybrids.

Lowryder F1 Strain Growing Information
Lowryder F1 is considered an easy-to-grow strain suitable for beginners, particularly due to its autoflowering nature and resilience. The strain has an extremely short life cycle of 8-9 weeks from seed to harvest. It performs well both indoors and outdoors, with indoor growers typically achieving yields of 15-30 grams per plant and outdoor growers potentially reaching 20-40 grams per plant in optimal conditions. The plant remains very compact at 30-50 cm tall, making it ideal for small spaces, stealth grows, and sea of green (SOG) setups. It requires minimal training and can thrive in various growing mediums. Special considerations include avoiding transplantation stress (best grown in final containers) and providing adequate nutrients during its rapid growth phase. The autoflowering characteristic means light cycles can remain at 18-24 hours of light throughout the entire growth cycle.
