As a side project/backup plan I've got some lowryder#2 unfemmed (femmed are v. hard to get hold of atm). Because they have a very small or no veg phase and autoflower I'm told they can't be cloned well.

However - if I've got 20 unfemmed seeds then is there any good reason why I can't follow TexasKid's guide and just knock up some of the girls to get seeds from? I like the idea of the lowryders but the price is ridiculous imho...so if I can make my own seed from them it could really work. Anyone tried this?

hi i've done the same work with lowryder#1, made about 3 generation of homemade seeds, and now i just did the same thing with 4 white dwarf (ww x low#2), i got only one female and 3 good male. so i left the 3 males pollened the gal for 2 weeks. after 3 weeks the first seeds were ready to be collect (fast).

from a single wd i got over 400 good seeds and more not fully mature, so why don't make your home made f2??? :happy:

Nice one fi - that's exactly what I had in mind....just let them get preggers from the males. I'm going to grow 2-3 of them in a completely separate space and see what happens.

Have you tried crossing the lowryder with any of your faves? Does it pass on the auto gene every time??

Hi FF,
at the mo i 've do some home made crosses with AF strains:

Ml01 = Nirvana masterkush (skunk pheno) x lowryder#1 f3;
Malowiee = Unknow indica by seedsman x lowryder#1 f3;
Lo.cos = Original california orange skunk (hqs) x lowryder#2 f2;

with the ml01 i do a first backcross and got Ml02 = Ml01 x lowryder#2 f2

at the mo i'm waiting to collect malowie2 = malowiee x dyesel ryder.

every crosses done by me showed some ruderalis trait, they put the first flowers on the 4 and 5 internode while the gals put out the 9 or 10 pairs of true leaves but no autoflowering, usually the af genes are recessive, so at least 3 backcross are need to pass it.

Great stuff fi - let us know how they come out. In terms of the AF gene, is the 3x backcross needed for probabilities sake? 1/4 chance of the recessive gene being passed, so 3 gens to ensure it??

after reading many report about breeding with lowryder&co., i see that usually are needed 3 backcross to get the Af trait. but i know some guy that got a good % of the f1 seeds carrying the autoflowering (about 50% if my memory don't fail) crossing some low with a mazar.

i only do the second backcross with the "ml", but the plants that came out from the seeds are ridicoulous, 'couse i 've used a hermie as father of the first cross. here on the forum you can find lot of good articles (the best ones for me) about breediing and so on, give a look so you will not make my same mistakes :D
