Quack Master!
Howdy,
Loved the look of Ducksfoot since I first saw it looong ago! Wanted an auto version. Stitch was offering an alleged auto version which I ordered direct from him. Grew two till they outgrew my diminutive tent -- they didn't auto! They were some serious Ducksfoot though, but not auto.
I do not wish to criticize Stitch -- we're all familiar with the crap that went down and it's all in the past; I hear he's trying to get his shit together and I sincerely hope he does. In fact, even with the mess he was putting out towards the end there, a few simple crosses have restored the auto trait and result in very good plants -- so props to the guy. His breeding is sound enough to withstand whatever bullshit was done to his strains because it's easily fixable. 'Nuff said about all that!!
Now, I hope -- with help from the experienced breeders on this site -- to tweak his ducksfoot back to auto condition (assuming they have the auto gene in there, which I don't really know for sure). I've cracked three of the five seeds I had left of his strain and will either by luck or sex reversal inbreed it to make seed. Dunno if these will auto, but that's the plan for the first step.
I understand it's a mammoth job and have enlisted the help of a buddy (he'll let me use some of his space if I need it to keep the project going). I understand some have tried to breed ducksfoot autos and failed -- and I may very well be among them in the end, but then, maybe I won't. I need help from you guys here at AFN. I'm happy to distribute beans from the first batch to anyone who seriously wants to get involved.
My ultimate wet dream strain would be an auto Dragon/Ducksfoot cross, a DragonDuck! But first things first, let's see if the genotype has any auto in it before we go adding a new gene pool.
Expressions of interest welcome people -- and all help appreciated! Will post photos of the seedlings in about a week when there'll be something to see.
Cheers.

But then, if most of us knew what the hell we were getting into before we jumped in, we wouldn't have done most of the shit we've gotten up to in our lives, LoL!
