Hello beloved staff and crew. Its me again Dave , fleetline dave coming thru with another grow question.
So what do y’all think would happen if i hit an auto female with some photo period male plant man dust?? Would i get more auto seeds? That’s what I’m after. I never grew autos before and a friend gave me ONE seed. I thought it would be nice to give him back a bunch of seeds. Any thoughts on this ? Thanks in advance fellas.
Yes you can. Some, but not all of the F1’s seeds will have the auto gene passed on.
You can, but I wouldn’t. Like jmystro says, some of the seeds will be auto. Others will be photo, and there’s no way of knowing which is which until you’re into the grow a good month or so. And you don’t know if the genetics from the two would be a good match. My 2 cents worth.
You would have to do some work and it may take a few generations but you could eventually have a plant that will make all auto seeds. If it’s your only hope, you really wanna keep Autos around and are okay with the extra work, then I would say go for it and hope for the best! At the very least you’ll learn something
This sounds like a fun idea to play around with. Give it try and let us know your results!
You can use STS (Silver Thiosulfate). Spray one lower branch daily till male flowers develop, save pollen then pollinate the rest of the plant with that pollen.
That’s what I intend to do with my last Double Grape auto, whose seed I just got dirty. I’m about to order all the stuff off Amazon.
Happy growing amigo.
