I'm not sure if anyone actually smokes the ruderalis plant itself or if you even can. Ruderalis is the plant that gives Lowryders and other dwarf plants their autoflowering trait. As far as the potency of those, if grown properly you really can't tell any difference at all. I've smoked sour diesels and blueberry all the time, and my friends blueryders and dieselryders both smoked about the same taste and potency-wise itd be hard to tell the difference. I'm sure some will argue.
That inspired me to get a couple dieselryders and blueryders of my own going, and got some auto ak47 in the mail. Going to breed and crossbreed all of em and get a good deal of seeds so I can throw a couple of patches up in the mountains.
Also I wanted to ask you guys, can you keep a mother indoors and then throw clones right out into flower during the period from Sep. 29 (12+ hrs darkness begins) until Mar. 15 (12+ hrs daylight)
If thats the case I think I might just run autos during the long season and clones during short.
