AUTOFLOWER BREEDING WITH PHOTOPERIODS
When breeding
autoflowers and photoperiod varieties, you’ll follow the same steps. But do know there are a few facts about crossing regular with autoflower that you should know before you start.
- The autoflowering gene is recessive – so for it to be passed on, both parent strains must possess it. That means your offspring won’t show autoflowering traits until the second generation of breeding.
- Naturally, ruderalis genetics are much more unstable and less established than regular genes. That means, even if you’re successful – future generations of the same cross might not bode as well.
- To strengthen the lineage of autoflowering breeding with regular varieties, it’s advisable to perform backcrossing.
