Well..So maybe some one who has done this could help me to as I am also just starting this journey. Should I try to save some pollen from my father auto plant and use it on the offspring to get it to auto again? I don't care to make it like the auto. I want my plant like the non auto. Can I just breed the offspring with the same auto strain later again but from a different plant? I want to make U-pink auto. If I should save pollen how is the best way to store it because I tried freezing some once and it did not hold up.
I have started this journey today. I think only a small percentage are going to be auto from what I have read like around 20% or something but I guess we will find out as I will be doing this soon.
Well..
My dear chap.
Im afraid I'll have to tell you that freezing is the way to keep it for 6 months to one year.
But polem is very fragile and any increase in humidity kills it.
Thats why they call the breeder wamnabe's as polem chunkers, i guess.
I think you should keep polinizing the offspring with the auto father's polem. This would be a "back cross", after like 6 rounds of this procedure you should be achieving a good auto rate.
Mind about the gene pool, though.
As I would advice storing polem from two different fathers to increase the genetic variability.
This should describe what I mean, pay close attention:
