yes, that is possible Cookie! First, I would get your favorite soil and a bunch of 20oz. styro cups. Selection is what you are looking for. When crossing 2 of the same autos, selection is not needed, but photo to auto, you want the very best of the males and females. Symmetry, size, vigor, smell, height, all play a factor. grow out several males and pull the ones that dont have "the stuff" and keep the ones you like. Really you need only 1 male and he can pollenate a bunch of ladies. On the lady front, you want the same traits as the male, structure, symmetry, size vigor. With photo to auto, I would grow the males out first and collect the pollen and freeze it. Grow out the females and pick the chosen ones, and when they start throwing flowers, pull the vial of pollen out of the freeze and get a q tip or paint brush and paint your budsites.
the offspring of these will be your F1's. only 25% or less will auto. Here is where it gets good. finding the autos and the photos, killing the photos and selecting the autos the have "the stuff" you are looking for. Now you have F2's and will be 50% or more auto. Find the autos out of those and its smooth sailing with some fine selected genetics. Or one can just chuck some pollen and hope for the best. I prefer the selection process. You will be much happier with the autos you produce that way. Plus you can dial the strain in to having 2 to 3 pheno types of one strain and you will get used to working that strain and what she produces. Hope this long winded rebute helps!
