They look great my man-
... but getting them to "behave"-
...like we were talking about at your thread, F1 photo x auto crosses that I've seen to date have run the gamut for behavior despite what-all the the so-called recessive allele deal dictates. We have seen enough divergence from this to reject it as being that simple, no doubt anymore in my mind at least, and wiser more experienced breeders concur...
You can never really be sure what will happen! You recall the C99a x Punto Rojo girls I ran last year? Same C99a, even as a mother, and at F3 I just saw a finished 44 plant grow of them and
zero auto's showed...
...caveat being that he didn't select for auto's, but for PR leaning pheno's and potency. A couple grown by others did show auto'ing, but it's way off the mark for the "usual" pattern %'s...
What did show is consistently faster cycle times; PR is a 14 weeker in bloom, at least! Those two littles of mine, about 6 weeks, the big grow about 8 (indoors, group big tub grow)...
MoB/OGK mother was no auto in it, 100% sure, though MoB is a 6 week bloomer outdoors...
The question of whether such crosses are hair-triggered or outright auto's isn't always clear unless, like your indoor one, which bloomed under 18/6 after 40 days...
CK S1, how long indoor and under longer light hours vs. local ambient outside? I don't let mine stay under 14+ for more than 2 weeks tops before acclimating them to current light hours (13-ish), I'm too paranoid!
We'll have more to see though with me this year, so keep your mental data book open!
I have a private bred Ultra Early Love (Potion), made in much higher Lat's, that the breeder suspects may hair trigger on me no matter what...No auto in her though!
Also have LHB's Asian Haze F1 semi-auto, and a mates Miss K semi-auto (forget if shes F1 or 2, but in the works toward full auto)...
Both T20M girls, Humboldt Affy and Sour Strawburied are the fastest in their photo line-up, so a sorta of baseline there to compare against with fast fully photo's....
Meantime, you're welcome to pick another girl to swap out Jean, it's all school time for us with this stuff and it's all valuable info and insight!
...I got eyes for Speed Racer, I really want to run that girl just coz she's shown such strong Lilac D' traits consistently, particularly the aromatics!
Exactly mate! Most breeders of fast fully photo's and those with any auto in them regardless of F-gen or breeding direction caution about this transition from ID light hours to OD's... Remember GTG's Green Crack and the other F1 FV type he had did exactly that, started blooming, stalled, reveg'ed and then bloomed normally... made for some wonky looking plants though and buds were not what they should have been if I recall rightly...
BTW, what's your scoop this season, oh 2-time Champion?
