Lowryder Auto Seeds

Genetics & effects

Lowryder Auto is a feminised autoflower built from Northern Lights #2, Williams Wonder and Mexican Ruderalis genetics. Its profile is broadly indica-leaning, at approximately 70% indica and 30% sativa. Ruderalis heritage supports flowering according to age rather than changing daylight hours, making this compact cultivar approachable for newer growers and useful where space or seasonal time is limited.

THC is listed at 10–14%, while CBD is listed at 0–0.2%. Experiences vary between individuals, but Lowryder Auto is often described subjectively as uplifting, euphoric and focused at first, followed by a relaxed feeling. Some people also report an energetic quality. The aroma and flavour combine earthy and sweet notes with lemon, citrus and pine, reflecting a terpene profile associated with limonene, pinene and myrcene.

Growing in New Zealand

In New Zealand, spring planting falls between September and November, while the traditional outdoor harvest period is March to May. As an autoflower, Lowryder Auto does not need to follow that full seasonal schedule and may finish earlier when started in spring. Successive starts can help growers make practical use of the warmer months, subject to local conditions.

This cultivar can suit hot, dry areas, temperate districts and cooler regions with short summers. Choose the brightest available position and shelter plants from severe wind or prolonged rain. Its modest size can make placement straightforward, although good airflow remains important for reducing the risk of mould in damp weather. Cultivation and possession requirements vary, so growers should check the rules applying to their location.

Indoor

Indoors, plants commonly remain around 20–45 cm tall. A light, airy growing medium and a stable environment suit the fast autoflower life cycle. Avoid heavy watering and abrupt changes, as compact plants have limited time to recover from stress. Gentle plant positioning may help open the canopy, while intensive training is generally unnecessary.

Under suitable conditions, indoor yield is listed at up to 120 g/m². This is a reference figure rather than an assured outcome; lighting, environment, plant health and grower experience all influence the final amount.

Outdoor

Outdoor plants are listed at approximately 30–60 cm, making Lowryder Auto a discreetly sized option for sunny patios, greenhouses or small garden spaces. Select a free-draining site and monitor moisture closely after heavy rain. In cool or exposed districts, a sheltered position can help maintain steady development. In hot, dry areas, check containers regularly because smaller pots can lose moisture quickly.

Outdoor yield is listed at up to 90 g per plant under favourable conditions. Actual performance may vary widely with sunlight, temperature, root space, weather and general plant care.

Harvest

The flowering phase is approximately 7–8 weeks. Because environmental stress can alter timing, assess plant maturity rather than relying only on the calendar. For conventional seasonal gardens, March to May is New Zealand’s main autumn harvest window, while spring-started autoflowers may be ready sooner. At harvest, expect compact plants with earthy, sweet and citrus-led aromas, complemented by lemon and pine notes.
