Lowryder 2 by Growers Choice
The Original Lowryder × Santa Maria
Lowryder 2, developed by Growers Choice, is a hybrid autoflowering strain recognized for its compact stature and balanced psychoactive experience. It was bred by crossing the original Lowryder with the Santa Maria strain, aiming to combine ruderalis genetics with potent sativa and indica traits.
Appearance and Morphology
Lowryder 2 plants are notably compact, typically reaching heights between 50-70 centimeters, making them suitable for discreet or limited growing spaces. The buds are dense and well-formed, often covered in a generous layer of resin. Leaves may display deep greens with subtle purple undertones under certain conditions, featuring intricate serrations indicative of selective breeding.
Aroma and Flavor Profile
The aroma of Lowryder 2 is a complex bouquet that balances earthy notes with subtle hints of citrus and floral undertones. Upon burning, the flavor profile delivers a blend of earthy and spicy tastes, underpinned by a noticeable sweetness. Consumers often detect notes reminiscent of forest pine with a touch of citrus zest.
Effects and Potency
With THC levels typically ranging from 6-10% and CBD below 1%, Lowryder 2 offers a moderate and manageable psychoactive experience. Users report effects that are both calming and cerebral, providing a balanced high that is not overwhelming. This profile makes it a suitable option for both recreational enjoyment and potential therapeutic applications.
Terpenes and Cannabinoids
The terpene profile is characterized by the presence of limonene, pinene, and myrcene, contributing to its citrus, piney, and earthy aromatic and flavor notes. The cannabinoid content, with its moderate THC and low CBD, facilitates a nuanced experience. Minor cannabinoids may also contribute to its overall effect profile, supported by emerging clinical data.
Cultivation
Lowryder 2 is an autoflowering strain, meaning it flowers based on age rather than light cycle, simplifying cultivation. Its ruderalis genetics contribute to its resilience and quick flowering times. The strain is noted for being rugged enough for outdoor cultivation while still producing premium quality buds indoors.
Origins and Lineage
Lowryder 2 was developed by Growers Choice as a hybrid, building upon the original Lowryder. It is a cross between the original Lowryder and the Santa Maria strain, incorporating approximately 25-30% ruderalis genetics. This lineage was carefully selected to achieve its autoflowering properties, compact structure, and balanced effects.
