This thread makes me sad, I've only tried 2 strains that actually had a name. I don't know shit about lowryder but I wouldn't be suprised if it was better than the shit in my area.

i agree, but i think i would choose something like a master kush or deisel

when one of my friends came over and said he just bought lowryder from a dispensary? like seriously, wtf? Can there seriously be such a shortage of growers out here that some idiot n00b growing LOWRYDER can actually get shelf space? If someone tried to tell me they're a professional grower and that lowryder is their strain of choice I would literally just laugh in their face.

it's just that lowryder is notorious for being the choice of absolute novice growers. It's not that it's necessarily terrible weed, but (and no offense to anybody here, I promise) when I see someone growing lowryder I basically assume it's their first or second grow and that they don't really know what they're doing yet.

Harri-

I have seen some shitty weed from the dispensaries.  Once my friend brought over a bag that he got from the club that was labeled "Mendo Scriffles" and it was nugs of bammer ass seeded weed.

I don't think shelf space is their limiting factor at the clubs.

Post that in the strains section to get a better response.

The lowryder just means that it's an autoflowering strain.  It doesn't have a long veg period and goes right into flowering.  It was originally a cross of an C. indica and a C. ruderalis plant.  that's why it autoflowers, bred for that feature through the rud.  As of my understanding, ruderalis is really low potency so you lose some of that with the finished product.  Plus the amount of harvest you get is dramatically reduced per plant, so that's one reason HB laugh's at a 'professional' cultivating that strain.  It's a novelty strain, like the dr. grinspoon strain.

interesting.  I think that most people think (including me!) that all the bud you'd find at a dispensary in CA, or CO for that matter, would be primo bud.  That's fucked up.  How much does a guy pay for an eighth of lowryder and 'bammer ass seeded weed' at a dispensary?

Most of the bud is very very top notch, but yeah some of them end up with really shitty weed and sell it for cheap. Quite frankly pisses me off, because if we're truly riding on the "medical" wave then there really should be no such thing as shitty, cheap medicine

however, one club I went to had a batch of banana kush that accidentally hermied for $100 an ounce because they just wanted to get rid of it but it was still really really good quality and only like 3 seeds per ounce. that was a score for sure
