i was just wondering how you make a good seed. i was doing some reading about these lowryder plants. seem to be pretty amazing. everyone is sold out of the seeds i think due to you cant clone this plant. if i were to get ahold of some of these seeds what is the best way to make my own supply of seeds? do you just grow male and female cross them and you have good stable seeds or is there a trick

i didnt know that you couldnt clone some strains of marijuana. anyone know the science behind that?

Because of it's genetic makeup, lowryder is pretty much flowering from the day it is planted and because of this I think it is impractical to clone ... correct me if I'm wrong ... Peace

if you make a male and a female of the same "bag " when you pollen the female you will get similar plants to the one that you start with nothing more or less but dont get it twisted its not like with clone they will not be identical. to get F1 hybrid of lowryder #2 you have to mix Santa-maria and Lowryder

o yaaa if you interested in growing lowryder go for lowryder#2 got more yaild much more

The species is called Cannibus Ruderalis, might help if you are looking for info, and yes, as others said, it's veg cycle is almost non-existant.

Breeding is really not that difficult, the plants do all the work. But, as Brouli said, if you don't know what you are doing, I would stick with crossing hybrids.

If I were going to grow something I couldn't clone, and was only interested in seed with good genetics, and not concerned with the breeding aspect, I would grow a male lowryder and cross it with another strain. Some seeds will carry on the same trait, some won't. I would probably just cull the ones that didn't and BACKCROSS the ones that did with the same lowryder father. I would do an initial run, the male and a few fems seeded, clean up WELL, and grow on from there. This would probably be the simplest description of how not to make a mess without doing mass research on breeding.

Good Luck
