auto flowering,like low ryder?

lowryder is likely the best of the rudy crosses
you can just 12 12 from seed and pull earlier harvest with likely similar yields to LR.

Actually lowryder is best grown under 18 hours of light, it will autoflower at the 5th internode, MDanzig has two other autoflower strains, Power Stout and Master Low, the PS has a larger yield and the ML is higher quality. Also Dr. Greenthumb seeds has a strain called stealth 105 which is also a autoflower but of higher quality. Another seed company to try is Solar Warrior, they specialize in strains that are extremely quick, but not quite autoflowering, but quality.

The original LR has been superceded by LR #2 and other LR crosses such as MasterLow and PowerStout.

I can't see any reason to grow the original LR these days.

With any of the LR crosses, you really can't afford to have any stress/stunting in the first three weeks otherwise yield suffers.

I can attest to the fact that LR 2 is worthwhile in terms of potency

I was talking about normal strains 12 12 from seed
Actually growing from 12/12 right from seed will not cause the plant to flower automatically, that only works when you are growing from clones in a SOG setup. When doing this from seed the plant will flower when it is chronologically ready to flower. It will vegetatively grow slowly, however some equatorial varieties actually like to veg. under 12/12 seeing as that it replicates there natural conditions, strains not acclimated to equatorial regions do not take to this technique as well. Also growing non equatorial strains this way will cause unnecessary stresses to the plants, it is crucial to allow plants to show signs of preflowers before inducing flowering.Many people believe that it is ok to veg a plant for a few weeks and then just induce flowering, it is not, like I said it causes unnecessary stresses to the plant that can cause such things as hermaphrodites and other problems.

someone considering rudy crosses isn't going to spend the time to find out when a plant is genetically ready to flower, hell most people don't spend the time to veg till ready they go by heights or however long a training method takes. Myself included.

Someone growing rudy crosses doesn't have to wait long in the first place, and usually the plants will flower better under 18/6, like the lowryder. As far as vegging for a few weeks and then flowering without preflowers, if you and other people want to do that it is your decision and yours only. Don't be surprised if you get super low yields, hermaphrodites, or weak plants. I have never met a master grower or breeder that didn't allow plants to show preflowers before inducing flowering, and if most people as you say are doing this, they should stop and they might be surprised with the results. Anyways, you do what you like, but I am hear to give people educated information, not to start problems. I have nothing to prove to anyone, I have already done that.PEACE, BrotherD
