IS THE AUTO GENE RECESSIVE TO THE PHOTO GENE

[tuone]

hiya, No environmental effects only effect genetics by selection of the offpring, not by any actual effects on the genetics formations in the plants changing with the surroundings. the only environmental effects that can effect genes are almost always just radiation. rarely, there are examples in nature of a plant producing more males or females depending on environment, or having simple switches that can occur in zygotes because of environmental factors but not normally.

also you dont explain your auto x auto cross idea exactly... akr-akr x akr-60day? all 4 parents are auto's? if so 100 percent of f1 and f2 are auto's.

if 3 of 4 parents are auto's 50 percent are pure auto's and flower, 25 are half photo and dont, and 25 have both genes as photo and dont also.

it's alot faster selecting one of many plants by their size and smell etc than attempting to change the environment. like if you grow 100 and take some mammoth males and females from them, or some small fat ones it with the smells you want, its the logical way to breed till you have plants you want.

Ahhh,thank you,finally the brain catches up to the fingers.
Makes a lot of sense,thanks for the explaination.
So genes are gene's,they can only be influenced by other genes,or in extreme cases radiation.
phenotypical differences are the enviromental differences influencing preset genetic traits,they will not neccesarily convey to F2 unless similar enviromental conditions are experienced as they do not change genetics,simply portray them differently
I was wanting to do AKR(colloidal hermie) x AKR(female) and AKR(colloidal hermie)X 60day(Female)
All parents will be auto's,and i have saved another 2 beans of each for eventual "back" crossing to AKr and 60 day.
my intention is for as high a percentage of auto's possible.

This is very interesting. I am leting natural selection play a part in my breeding program . Most autos need to be grown inside for two weeks in a pot then moved outside. I had 100% survival rate doing this but seedlings planted straight to the soil from the starting tray had at least 50% failure rate. Now thanks to my last crop I have 1000s of seeds, I am planting twice as many as I need but only breeding the ones that were tough enough to survive without needing to be started indoors.Maybe after a few generations I will have a more hardy breed.I will of course be choosing for other traits at the same time.Any thoughts anyone? As you can see I have autos in full bloom, photos just starting flowering and new autos in the same bed.

I'm doing the same thing stone. I literally tossed 15 or 18 purple jem x auto assassin seeds into full sun and lightly covered them with dirt. About 10 germinated and 4 are left today at about 2 weeks.

I (naturally) selected for the seeds that can be planted upside down and still maintain vigor to germinate, straighten out and grow. I (naturally) weeded out those with thick shells that need to be babied to germinate. Out of the offspring of these tough plants I will start selecting potency and aromas.

And hopefully by planting in full sun and watching some wilt from the intensity, the offspring will do well under my LED and not bleach out like other strains I have seen.
