I need some info on breeding. So if I cross photo x auto, would the f1 generation have any autoflowers or would they all be photo? Like if I left the lights on a 20/4 schedule would they still flower bc of the auto genetics or is that only if the line is worked to later generations like f2+

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.
