Live Stoner Chat a question on cross breeding

[littleT]

i have a few dragons from mossy --all wide leafed---if i was to take a male albino dragon and polinated a critical kush female photo what i would i expect to see in there offspring.the kush being afgan as well as the makeup of the dragon.i polinated a bad betty female with a albino dragon also.----trying to increase thc in any autoflower seed being the kush states its level as 25% thc

Well. The offspring will most likely be a photo plant (like 99%), but other than that you can get all kind of traits from both plants and even a few new ones.
The autoflower trait is resessive meaning that if you cross a photo with an auto the offspring will be a photo, but with a chance to pass the auto gene to it's offspring. So if you do this cross you mentioned and then cross it's offspring with eachother you can expect to get some autoflowers.
As for other traits, some could be dominant some could be resessive. Other traits might "blend" into something new or genes that where repressed before might come to expresion. It's all just a genetic lottery
Never the less if you cross two good strains it's ofspring should be good also. Hope this helped.

I didn't know that. I thought the chance of getting auto crosses was much higher, especially if you used a male auto. Thanks.

Get Greg Green's: The Canabis Breeder's Bible. Its well wrtten and would be a great asset if your looking to breed your own plants.

Unfortunately it doesn't work like that. I think most breeders would wish it would.
Most of the time seedbanks cross a photo with an auto then cross their offspring to get autoflowers and then makes crosses with those for a few generations to stabilize the other traits so that they kinda know what to expect from a plant. Even then there will be genetic variation within a strain resulting in the different phenotypes we see.

I believe the chances are 1:9 but that may be with a pure Ruderalis probably more like 1:18 fir a cross made using an exsisting auto cross. I've had one Durrty Dragon x Blueberry headband atuo. It was a male so I took pollen and plan to dust another DD x BBH ( I now call it blue Dragon ) on hopes of getting more autos of the cross. I'll grow out say 50 seeds and toss any that aren't autos. You need to do that for a few generation to get a reliable auto.

Growing out 50 seeds ..... you are living one of my dreams! I assume you're living somewhere slightly more liberated than round my way. One day I dream!
