Hey guys, love the show, listening keeps me sane during long days in the grow room.

I have been growing for 19 years, mostly indoor, but still have a fair bit of experience outdoors, up here in the Great White North. I have experimented with breeding my own strains over the years, and to great success, many of my creations have lived on.

This year is my first year growing an auto-flower, and I only have 1, it is growing in a 6 gallon bucket, in organic promix and a healthy mix of happy frog and ocean earth. It is growing well, and I have even tortured it a little bit(against respectable advice). I have topped it twice, cleaned up the bottoms, and give it a splash of synthetic nutrient every once in while just to see if its true that they don’t like too much food. Haha. It just keeps taking the punishment and responds well to it.

Here’s the question: If I hit this thing with some “regular” pollen at the right time, will I create a bunch of auto-flowering “regular” seeds? In which case, the males could just be eliminated as they show next season. I have some pollen from a “reversed” female(which I assume would be the way to go), but I’m just not sure how viable it is going to be still, as it’s a bit older now.

At the end of the day, any information as to what happens when you pollinate an autoflower would be great, like does the “ruderalis” trait always get passed down, or can it get “thinned out” enough that I may just be making regular seeds? Which I suppose wouldn’t be a horrible thing.

Thanks guys, looking forward to hearing an answer…. or 3!
