Manufacturer: Joint Doctor Seeds
Rock Machine looks very unusual, despite the indicagena it is more like a sativa - it gives off a lovely smell that is very reminiscent of classic hashish. The smell is a mixture of earthy, very herbaceous old school Afghani hash. Rock Machine, like all Doctors Choice strains, is very easy to grow in all areas.
This strain is named after Rock Machine M.C., an outlaw motorbike club founded in Montreal (Joint Doctor's hometown). Rock Machine is a true rocker - Doctors Choice used the strongest parents (Afghan x Northern Lights x Lowryder) and created one of the strongest strains in the entire range with these genes.
Lineage: Afghan x Northern Lights x Lowryder Genetics: Autoflower mostly Indica Duration from seedling to harvest: 10 - 12 weeks Smell: very fruity Afghani, hashish, earthy Height: 100 - 120 cm THC: 18%
Doctor’s Choice got noticed when the breeder behind it—known as Joint Doctor—introduced Lowryder back in the early 2000s. At the time, autoflowering strains were still a new idea, and this one ended up changing a lot of minds. It grew fast, handled well, and offered results that beginners and experienced growers both appreciated.

Many of their other picks—like Rock Machine Indica or Chronic Ryder—follow that same simple, grower-friendly approach. The idea has always been to keep things straightforward without losing the character that made Lowryder stand out in the first place.
