Day 21 and the full autos are showing hairs. I have 30 up inside and 150 up outside. I have a question. If I now breed the full autos together will the offspring be 100% auto or a fraction thereof? Also if I self one will it,s offspring be different from the first group in that respectl? My plan is to pollenate all but a couple to each other, I am also going the cross the others to a 100% o.g. ghost train haze female that I forced to make pollen, then froze. This will give me 3/4 strenth o.g.g.t.h. that after the f1 photos are completed will again be 1/4 auto. At the same time I will be stablizing the first group.

O.K. Now I have culled the photos from this group and here are the numbers. 36 beans started, 34 germanated of which 12 were full auto. This is over 1/3 auto but it was a small sample. Oddly enough I planted 5 beans in each pot, hoping for 1 auto in each yet 1 pot had 5 , 1 had 4, 1 had 1, 1 had 2 , and 2 had nothing.View attachment 207297 This 1 had 5.

First pollenation.I have 33 inside and they yeilded 33% auto. You know I had to go first thru a photo generation to get here right. Outside I have a couple hundred a couple weeks behind. When they show I will have large enough numbers to be fairly accurate. I am not complaining about 33% but do not think it will be true for all. What I am not sure of is on this generation when I breed the full autos to full autos will the offspring be 100% autos?I am into week 4 and have began treating a lower limb for female pollen. About 2 weeks to make pollen sacs and 6 weeks for seed maturity. This puts the f3,s being ready to harvest the middle of June.I have a trick to not haveing to wait after seed harvest to go again. If a womans water breaks, the baby is born or dies. the same works with seeds. They have a protective clear coating on them to delay germation, in the wild they must wait till spring. I hold the seed pointed end down between my fingers and where the seed attacted the the mother plant, I gently rake a plactic card across it. This breaks the seal and it must gemanate or die, very few die.I have no wait time between generations.

Ok, in the feild the 1/3 ratio is holding up. Also I lost none due to mother nature. So that means they are planted too thick. After I cut down the photos I will start pulling down the autos to cover any holes in the bed. If the remaining autos are still too close, I will cut off all lower limbs and grow just main buds.View attachment 223653
Man that is One Hell of a Spot.
So freaking jealous.
There is a Gorge around me. I think that I am going ledge hunting.
Nice garden location..
You in Tenn, right? I have seen lots of ledges like that in the Cumberland mountains.
Never thought of them as garden plots though.
Nice work.. Love the outdoor breeding that you are doing.
Are you going to overwinter any on purpose?
I know about the overwintered plant/branch that wrote about earlier.
Was that an experiment or luck?

I always do that. I used to have a patch of photos that seeded it's self and kinda got used to sowing seeds in the late fall. Of course each one of those volunters will get pollenated. No, I am in ky.. If you go ledge hunting, remember a great spot will already be heavily overgrown. So look at the southeast side first, then find a bench with deep enough soil. You determine this by looking at the existing vegatation. Big trees mean deep soil. Small brush means maybe not enough soil to hold moisture in the dry times. You must cut out a spot of sunlight and it will take much more than you might think. Go early in the morning and look to the east for shadows. Then in the evening look west and do the same.Now you know what has to go. This is where amateurs fail. They go only at one time of day and so think they git full sun. A lot of work then many years of secure grows!
