Yes it would be best with clones but while I have photo strains I could grow and clone, I don't have any plans for regulars indoors until fall at earliest, so the first test will be with auto seeds.
That's nice of your family to let you do that. Now grab a 2x2x3 and add it to your old room and ask the women of the house to help you make babies.
The way I do it there is minimal effort and resources. Grow a solo cup plant, reverse it, use the pollen where you want, and a few weeks later seeds. My pic I use here is of 500+ feminized Auto Mazar seeds I grew last year. When I'm stoned I think it looks like a spiral galaxy.
, not sure that would fit in the room too Hemi, ha ha ha. Have to do some rearranging. I do have two small tents, so it is a possibility. And I remember the colloidal silver and all that jazz (/jizz!?) to get the males. Yeah all you can do is test autos, still be interesting. Maybe do a batch and pick the ones that look most similar, it's tricky.
Ha ha women of the house, there's only my younger bro there these days, he's not a toker, which is good and bad for various reasons.
