AutoFlower Confidential Cheese Project!!

[neostar]

Here is a update today..Things are looking good can't wait ...I've been hearing people say that they get autos in the F1 and others say its almost impossible but we'll see what happens...I'm sure I wont find any but who knows crazy stuff happens in breeding...I'm not sure if its too early to tell but i"m seeing really similar phenos to amlost all of them...I don't know maybe its just me but they all look the same...I guess i'll find out for sure when i put them in 12/12...

Here is a picture of the auto dad used to pollinate the F1 of Confidential Cheese...

The best way to go about the situation (for potency and flavors) is to inbreed your F1 to make F2. Only 25% of the F2 will autoflower, but you will see definite increases in potency and aroma by the F3 compared to if you were to backcross to the autoflower parent. Of those F2 that autoflower, breed a male and a female together and by F3 you will be fully autoflower. You will still have to stabilize plant structure, but at this point you're more potent than if you had taken an F1, backcrossed it to an auto, and bred the resulting autoflower offspring. Both scenarios take 3 generations, but the difference being that the backcrossing shortcut will give you 50% auto compared to 25% auto at the F2, but inbreeding gives you more potency and aroma, even though you see 25% autoflower at F2.

NOW, once you have a fully autoflower male from the F2 - branch the line off. Breed two fully autos from the F2 together to have a fully auto F3 but ALSO use an autoflowering male to backcross to the photoperiod female. You would then have a 3/4 cheese and 1/4 auto. If your F2 male was average at 16% (based on the hypothetical numbers above) and your photoperiod was 20%, this line of seeds would have a median potency of 18%, but you would have to inbreed to F2 to see any autoflower.

exactly.:thumbs: Your goal is cheese & auto this is the way to mostly cheese auto...

many will even go to a bx2 which then gives you a 87.5% cheese auto..

So if I Bx2 I can get 87.5% cheese wow so I should see a whole lot of cheese phenos when i get to that stage..It should almost be like a clone of confidential cheese but a auto if done right correct?

yes, a genetic breed copy of Cheese based off the pheno you start with.... Its very important to run a large # of phenos of cheese to get the one that you want to duplicate...and to keep that mother plant thru out your project...

By the time you bx2 it will be your own strain...even tho you breed for Cheese you will have gone thru so many selections that you may have something very special....

Well guys i finally decided to put the babies inside under a few leds to get things going...I'm going to keep them under 24 hours of light for a week or so and switch to 12/12...They got stretched pretty bad I left them in cups way to long ahhaha ...I transplanted all of them in 1 gallon square pots ....Also something I found today was 2 males in the bunch already dropping balls...I think I might have found some auto males in the F1 cross...The rest of the seedlings haven't showed anything so it couldn't have been from being outside considering its veg time outdoors for me...So I think I might have found my males I will use from the batch we will see what happens

Here is a update....Things are looking good so far only have 2 males push out preflowers...Trying to figure out which one I wanna use for breeding...

looking good...keep it up. I love cheese.

+rep for taking on a cheese auto project
