Doctor's Choice cannabis seeds are an old-school breeder line built around compact, easy-finishing genetics — Lowryder #2, Chronic Ryder, Ogre, DC Kush, and the Doctor's Choice 1 in both photoperiod and autoflowering form. We carry 7 strains from the catalogue, covering feminised photoperiods and some of the earliest stabilised autoflowers on the market. Shop the full range below.

Doctor's Choice is a small breeder catalogue that leans on what autoflower growers already know: short, fast plants that don't need a light timer fussed over. The line is best known for Lowryder #2, one of the strains that pushed ruderalis crosses into the mainstream and made auto-growing a real option rather than a novelty. If you came up growing in the 2000s, you've seen these genetics in someone's tent. We keep the range on the wall for growers who want proven, no-drama seeds rather than the strain-of-the-month.

The catalogue is compact: seven strains, split roughly between feminised photoperiods (DC Kush, Doctor's Choice 1, Ogre) and autoflowers (Doctor's Choice 1 Auto, Lowryder #2, Chronic Ryder Autoflower). The autos are the headline act — Lowryder #2 in particular is a piece of breeding history — but the photoperiod side carries the indica-leaning kush and OG-style genetics that the brand built its name on.

What We Carry

• Feminised photoperiods — DC Kush, Doctor's Choice 1, Ogre. Indica-dominant, kush and OG-leaning, suited to standard 12/12 flowering schedules.
• Autoflowers — Lowryder #2, Chronic Ryder Autoflower, Doctor's Choice 1 Auto. Compact, fast seed-to-harvest cycles, no light-schedule change required.
• Heritage auto genetics — Lowryder #2 is one of the foundational autoflowering strains, still in the catalogue because it does what it says: small plant, short cycle, finished crop.

How to Choose Your Doctor's Choice Seeds

If it's your first grow, start with one of the autoflowers. Lowryder #2 or Chronic Ryder Autoflower will run from seed to harvest in roughly two to three months under an 18/6 or 20/4 light schedule, stay short enough for a cupboard or small tent, and won't need flipping to 12/12. Autos forgive most of the mistakes new growers make around light leaks and timer faults, because there isn't a timer to get wrong. Pick a small pack to start until you've confirmed your setup is dialled in.

For intermediate growers, the photoperiod feminised seeds are the better return on effort. DC Kush, Doctor's Choice 1, and Ogre are indica-dominant hybrids that respond well to topping, LST, and a standard veg-then-flower routine. You'll get bigger plants and bigger yields than the autos at the cost of a longer overall cycle and the need to manage a proper light schedule. Ogre in particular is a heavy, resinous plant that suits growers who've already done a couple of runs and want denser flower.

If you're running a perpetual harvest setup, the Doctor's Choice line mixes neatly — keep the photoperiods on a flowering cycle in one space and stage the autoflowers in another for a steady rotation. When in doubt, Lowryder #2 is the safe order. It's been in production for two decades because it works, and it's still the strain we point new auto-growers at when they want something straightforward.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Doctor's Choice best known for?

Autoflowering genetics, specifically Lowryder #2 — one of the original stabilised autoflower strains that helped establish the format. The brand also produces feminised photoperiod indicas like DC Kush and Ogre.

Which Doctor's Choice strain is best for beginners?

Lowryder #2 or Chronic Ryder Autoflower. Both are autoflowers, so there's no light-schedule switch to manage, they stay compact, and they finish faster than photoperiod strains. Good first-grow picks for a cupboard or small tent.

Feminised or autoflower — which Doctor's Choice seeds should I buy?

Autoflowers (Lowryder #2, Chronic Ryder, Doctor's Choice 1 Auto) for speed, simplicity and small spaces. Feminised photoperiods (DC Kush, Doctor's Choice 1, Ogre) for bigger plants and heavier yields when you've got the time and a proper light schedule.

How many strains does Doctor's Choice produce?

We carry 7 strains from the Doctor's Choice catalogue, covering both feminised photoperiods and autoflowers. It's a compact, focused line rather than a sprawling catalogue.
