The making of an Auto (re-vegging, micro breeding, crossing, growing, blagging, and probably failing).
My attempts at crossing a photo into an auto strain, learning while we go. Now, with a secondary auto 2 auto crossing.
This will likely be a long ramble, so you better roll a fat one.
Project Timeline:
Seeded female Dawg Star, and the hash made from the buds.
Forgetful Dragon - F1 Seeds.
A couple of F1 Dragon buds.
R.I.P. Jamaican Haze.

Project Timeline:
- Find a good male, and get some valid pollen - RESULT: Success. I have grown some No 2 Black Dragon, and froze its pollen for use in the project.
- Find a good female to cross with - RESULT: Failure. I had a lovely female, but she died before being able to provide any cuttings to me, and therefore the scope of the whole project has changed. We are no longer making a Jamaican Haze. I have left the details of the re-veg etc in, as still a valid method.
- Put the disappointment of 2 behind me, and find another good female to cross with - RESULT: Success. Waiting in the wings these last few months is a plant which has been in and out of my life, and has been raved about by most of my city's weed heads. Unfortunately I am unsure what the plant is exactly - possibly Dawg Star or Star Dawg, but definitely a Dawg of some kind.
- Grow out the female, and pollinate one arm of the plant using the stored pollen - RESULT: Success. 15 viable seeds produced from the mother, and a killer hash
- Grow out the F1 seeds - RESULT: Pending. The seeds need a few weeks / months to mature.
- Set up another seed run while waiting on seeds to mature: Amnesia x Black Dragon - RESULT: Success. Approx 200 seeds to start Forgetful Dragons.
- Grow out the F1 seeds Forgetful Dragon - RESULT: Pending. The seeds need a few weeks to mature. These will get germinated before the Dawg gets a go.
