New Grower Think I have preconceived misconceptions of auto's

[dankstyle J]

Wouldn't grow autos if they didn't produce potent strong medical grade cannabis,wouldn't smoke low grade either photo or auto an wouldn't even consider it for hash ,been growing autos for awhile an like mephisto an dinafem as favorites ,in fact any strain I grow of theirs is extremely loud an has the potential for heavy heavy yields of organic pro biotic cannabis,for example check out this white stomper a mephisto auto ,big an potent,currently growing this lady in a contest.

The breeders section would be a start.

It's gonna take you about 7 generations if you're good and lucky but it's possible.
Her's a way to do a fem line:

• You just have to cross your photo with an auto
• Grow the plants from those seeds
• Make clones while you grow them
• Now some of them will have the auto trait
• They will flower in 16-18Hr light, kill the rest (did I mention that you need a good sample size for this.. 30plants (after the culling) should do, so start with considerably more in early generations)
• Take the clones and suppress their female growth hormone using silver
• Pollinate the mothers with the clones (only one branch, leave the rest for smoking and testing)
• Now you have a bunch of selfies
• Great, harvest them, cure the weed and label everything

Once you tested the resulting weed for taste and effect you take all the ones you like

• Take a few seeds of each (we don't want to small a genepool)
• Grow them (as listed above)
• Rinse repeat

It takes a "few" generations of that to get your target traits stable.

If have poked around but haven't done any real digging in there yet. Ok, knew it would be detailed but going to need to wait till it's made rec 1st. Can't do what I would need to do with current setup. Great info tho, that will help me get started. Once i have a grow room done then I can get started. Any good breeding books you can recommend I pick up?

Books on pepper breeding are pretty good. But it's really not that hard. You just gotta establish a good plan and document/label EVERYTHING.

As a long time stoner I know about the importance on labeling lol. Ya, on the small side right now but once it goes full legalization I can get a bigger space.

Does it have autoflowers, cause that's a must forgot to mention.

Nope...it predates autoflowers. Honestly what we really need? Is one of the dedicated breeders here to write a guide on breeding autos.

Yup! Maybe one day...
