Breeding techniques

[tobe]

Interesting I been very intrested in Creating making couple strains myself! I have a couple Rock Star kush Photos i hope for a male when i start this adventure...

Hi TheDuke420
good luck i hope you find one male. If you open a thread for your breeding project tag me there.

The reason I ask is that I have 2 strains started now that are both already autoflower. If I were to want to pass certain traits to the offspring does any thing pass better from fathers or mothers better? Initially I think I am going to try to get them to finish faster. Then refine different traits after that.

Thank you for your answers!!!! Before mitch cleared in one thread I thought that autof are like mules , you cant cross one with other..
This is really one aw some forum..

Emerald Triangle Seeds has a some good looking autos in regs! Also, Seed Supreme has some auto regs that aren't Stitch's stuff. Short Stuff reworked Stitch's seed and made them into good strains, but even he is starting to do this fem only crap

I'm getting White Widow Auto regs from seed supreme

It is hard to find regular autos, I hunted for quite a while just to find some for sale. I found and bought some of Flash's purple mazar and russian fuel regular autos that I've crossed with pretty much everything I grew this summer. I just started some regular auto blackberry kush x fuel and auto green crack x fuel to play with.

Hi
You can also look at The Vault, i saw there some regular autos.

I think the 3 per pot method will be good at the f3 generation for strong auto plants.
I will give them a try till i restart breeding in the next year.

I got a question to you.
i own some pure landraces, i want to hold them alive. How much plants do think i have to pollinate.
i own:
Morocco rif mountain indica
SouthAfrican sativa
Nigeria sativa

well technically if your trying to maintain the population without causing a bottleneck in the genetics youd need to pollinate thousands of plants but since almost no one has that luxury I would say at least 6 females to 1-6 males focusing on the phenos that acclimate well to your area and garden style would probably give you more progress then trying to do a massive maintenance project.

anything under 100 plants at a time and you have to really focus on what matters since a good number of landrace plants just dont grow very well indoors

try searching for some of DJ shorts early breeding work like when he was developing blueberry, I think it would provide a lot of insight into breeding killer landraces indoors.

I got question i always read that autof are made by crossing fotoP with ruderalis.. I never read that both parents were AutoF.. Why?

as has been mentioned, all autos carry the rudi genes, thats what makes them auto. I believe its because when the first autos were being made (crossing photo psychoactive strains with ditch weed rudis) like lowryder#1 they were pretty weak and the psychoactive qualities had been diluted in the quest for the autoflowering trait so when they took the lowryder and crossed it back to a photo, bred it out again and it produced a far superior flower then its predecessor breeders figured crossing to photos was an easy way to improve lines than linebreeding and outcrossing to other autos.... so if you have a low THC line and outcross to a high THC photo, then bring it back to auto, chances are youll end up with a more potent line.

There is also the fact that since autos are relatively new, there arent many varieties worth crossing to, especially since most auto breeders stop at the F3 or F4 to maximize profits. thats changing quickly tho and as others have mentioned there are lots of auto to auto crosses these days and some really primo lines to choose from.

no when the gametes (pollen and ovule [ovule: A plant part containing the embryo sac and female haploid (1n) gamete germ cell]) combine to form the zygote (seed and future plant) they each contribute 50% of there parent DNA to the mix regardless of whether the cross was using a male or female its not strain dependent.


I would also like to be tagged if anyone starts a breeding log!!!!

Thanks for the info. If one were to start a breeding journal what section should it be posted in?

haha honestly I was just asking myself that question, did I put my log in the wrong section?? (independent seed breeder research and testing thread also sounds like a good fit) I think here in the "breeders corner" should be fine though, thats where most I see are.
