Hard to say. Lowryder isn't the best choice of genetics if your looking for yield and potency.

Can we see a show of hands from all those here that have actually grown Lowryder?
Lowryder 2 might be a better bet if you want a larger yield, however, it takes longer to initiate flowering (~2wks, hence, is larger before flower) and flowers for an extra two weeks. When you take that into account, it's not too much of a leap to realise that for every two LR2 grows completed, it's possible to complete three LR1 grows. I suspect that a third grow would increase yields beyond that achievable by LR2.
But anyway, all discussion of yields and potency is moot. You grow LR for it's specialised features, not so you can have a ton of herb!

Oh, and bw86, go easy on the nutes, LR really doesn't need all that much. Just give it a deep pot to root in and all is well...

I have grown strains in the past that were not called lowryder  but were the same genetics...Cannabis ruderalis...they suck in my opinion.

They flowered incredibly fast but the herb was not that great and that was not from me because i know what im doing, graduated from cannabis college when i lived in CA and worked with the Oakland cannabis buyers cooperative know how group.

But it really depends on how the OP's tolerance is towards herb and its many active cannabinoids, some people will get blitzed off a bowl of lowryder strains, some wont.

I am a pot snob and proud of it.

Indeed!

In fact, Lowryder may contain Ruderalis genes, but likely no more so than many other northern hemisphere species. LR is in fact derived from an American strain called Williams Wonder, which is why it autoflowers immediately. Ruderalis strains will autoflower, but will grow for some time before reaching maturity, whereupon they flower.

I would say that Lowryder is perfectly capable of producing top notch buds, but that is dependant on the person growing it. Even the finest strains will produce poor bud if grown badly. I would ask you to actually try growing LR before dismissing it out of hand.
