Berry Ryder strain info:
Since they first laid eyes on a Lowryder plant, their breeders have been obsessed with creating the fastest growing, highest yielding, and most potent plants in the business.
This particular strain is proof that they have achieved success. As part of their very exclusive and limited catalog, it stands out among the rest because of its color, aroma, and effects. Nothing less can be expected from its award-winning genetics.
This dwarf breed’s foundation is the original Blueberry. Developed in the 1970s in the United States by the legendary DJ Short, it is a masterful blend of landrace strains. Initially, for that breeding project, he was looking into some Sativasfor intense flavors. He ended up with a Highland Thai and a Purple Thai. But then, he crossed them with a unique Afghani Indica he was saving for a special occasion.
Indeed, the result was truly extraordinary. Old-school Blueberry is one of the sweetest and most relaxing varietals ever to exist. What’s more, it has a beautiful purple hue that makes the plant a jewel in any garden and the buds a must-have in any stash.
By generously sharing its genes with the world, DJ Short helped spawn hundreds of new variants known collectively as the Blue family – including Berry Ryder. One of its parents was selected from 25 direct descendants of the classic Blueberry. The other is Auto Seeds’ own Auto #1 – a tiny plant with hardly any scent that was specially designed for stealth growing.
Their marriage created an autoflowering Indica hybrid with a 19 and 22% THC level that supplies deliciously fruity and sticky buds as abundant as any photo period’s. Furthermore, it is incredibly easy to grow. Even the greenest amateur will be able to reap an impressive harvest in just 60 days, despite the plant’s small size.

Berry Ryder Grow Info
Berry Ryder autoflowering seeds produce plants that have simple care requirements and a fast growth rate. These two features make this strain ideal for first-time cannabis cultivators and even veterans who want an easy-to-grow plant without sacrificing the quality of the yield. At the end of its short life, it generates dense, popcorn-shaped nugs comparable with a regular, non-auto Blueberry. It displays the same thick coating of frosty trichomes that are a sign of immense potency.
One of this variant’s biggest advantages is its small size since it can fit in any available space. You can stash it away in a closet or leave it out on the porch to blend in with the other houseplants. Its average height is around 60 cm (24 inches) in a contained environment – maybe a little taller if grown using hydroponics. In the open air, it can get as big as 100 cm (40 inches), which is still suitable for a covert setup.
The plant’s diminutive size is directly correlated to its brief life cycle. It only takes 60 to 65 days to grow from seed to maturity, so several crops a year is possible. Whether you raise it indoors or outdoors, you do not have to wait for months to gather the fruits of your labor. You could germinate seeds as often as you like for outdoor cultivation if you live in an area with a warm, balmy climate year-round.
For a perpetual harvest indoors, you can keep seedlings and flowering plants in the same space. Unlike photoperiod strains, autos do not have to be switched to the budding stage by changing the grow light schedule. You can keep the lamp on for 18, 20, or even 24 hours a day, and the plants decide on their own when to produce buds according to their internal clock.
Since Berry Ryder is like a miniature Indica, it has a compact and stout structure. Its thick foliage of broad, closely packed leaves has to be pruned from time to time. Trimming the excessive growth promotes better airflow to prevent moisture-related diseases. It also allows light to penetrate to the lower bud sites so that they can develop properly.
Don’t be alarmed if the plant begins to turn purple or bluish. Like the classic Blueberry, it has anthocyanins (pigments) that are triggered by cold nighttime temperatures. The beautiful color will not affect the blooms’ potency or taste, but they do add enormous bag appeal. If you are growing al fresco, you can expect a yield of 100 to 150 grams (3.5 to 5 ounces) of mauve-hued buds per plant. But if you pack together several plants indoors, you can get300 to 400 grams (11 to 14 ounces) per square meter.
