It may take many crosses and pheno hunting throughout many years if you want to start from scratch and doing it as a solo venture will add to the time to dial them down to what you see fit. But you may begin to see some of what you are looking for in the F2. But you may find something in the first initial cross as well. It will all boil down to time space and feasibility of what you are going for is it obtainable and will you stick with it and not get side tracked on others projects. Total devotion is required to undertake such endeavors as making your own true autoflower.

Over here i found many Keepers in my F1 Photo to Auto Crosses. I digged some time in the Photoperiod Mother Strains or got Cuts from Mates which were worth to go with. My first ever Breeding Project was a Photo x Photo Cross and too me a good Decade to breed it in what i desired. Usualy i go thru a lot of Seeds and when you nail down the parents to a Single Pheno used, you may have several Keepers and Unique looing Plants. Best Example was Kandy Kush from Reserva Privada we nailed it dow to the "Spear" Pheno which is the one Dna took to Cups back in the Days. Ive bred it to a special Selected Pheno of Mephistos Chemdogging"Medics Sugar factory Pheno". The f1 of this Cross were total Unique looking and growing Plants the only Phenotype diffrence was in the Budstructure and Flowertime(1 pheno needed a good 2 weeks longer than the rest). So there are possibilyties to get what you desire in the f1. F2 i select the ones that Autoflower and breed the best ones into f3. Final pheno Selection over here starts in the f4 where i pick my final Keepers before deciding if to fem or not.
