How to grow Crystal Ryder Auto
Flowering 42 - 56 days 
Height 40-80cm Taste
Seb's take
Low Ryder crossed with the Brazilian hybrid Santa Maria, sized up from the original Dwarf Ryder without losing the ease of growing. Tropical fruit on the taste; the high is strong and exotic, well beyond what her modest stature suggests. Ready in under ten weeks, no lighting schedule required — indoors, outdoors, or the balcony.
Where it comes from
One of the earlier autoflowering lines, and its ancestry shows it: the original Low Ryder crossed with Santa Maria, a Brazilian hybrid that hands over the sativa colour. De Sjamaan sized the result up from the old Dwarf Ryder without surrendering the ease that made those early autos popular. She lands 75 percent indica, and carries a little of Brazil in both her flavour and her spirit. A tidy piece of breeding from the days when autoflowers were still proving themselves.
Nose & flavour
The record points to tropical fruit, the Santa Maria half making itself known, with a bright, exotic sweetness the modest frame does not lead you to expect. A holiday sort of nose on a plant built for the balcony. Little else is recorded, but that note is a pleasant one and clearly the headline.
The high
Described as strong and exotic, and reaching well beyond what her size would suggest, a real effect from a small plant. The record stays light on specifics, but the promise is of something more potent than a beginner's autoflower usually delivers. Approach the first session with that in mind and enjoy the surprise a compact plant has managed to pack away.
Growing it
This is where she earns her keep. Forty to eighty centimetres tall, finishing in under ten weeks, and asking for no separate room and no particular light cycle. The record is blunt that you can grow her indoors, outdoors, or on a balcony as you please. No yield figure is given, so judge her on convenience rather than tonnage. About as forgiving of enthusiasm as an autoflower gets, and well suited to a first attempt or a tight space.
