A few questions about autos in your F1's

[The Bedroom Gardener UK]

I've heard that on some strains when you create F1's from a non auto female & auto male, that you can get some autos.

Would it be better to breed with those, or go the normal route of backcrossing the non auto F1's?

Also, what if you got only one male or female. Would keeping the male pollen be worth it, and could you do any crossing with the female alone?

If your sole goal is to produce an auto as fast as you can.

Those F1 autos might not be dom in the traits you want. Best results are had with lots of pheno testing. If it was me, i would just take the best of the best, if it's auto or not. That way you can get the autos from later generations, from good parents.

I agree with bailer.
The auto trait will follow.
