That sucks ball but it's how the game goes so times.

appreciate your sentiment though it's fully expected to happen that way, there will always be that 40%-60% out of 10 different strains in an average pollen chuck that doesn't make the grade, hence the need to do a number of different chucks at the same time if possible so that there will be a few that turn out ok

Does anyone here know if it's possible to breed out autoflowering traits? Has anyone here done it?

Reason I'm asking is I had all my Sinai males start auto flowering under LEDs 18/6. I thought the girls were too but went ahead and moved them to a tent with 11/13 to go ahead and get some seeds from the strain to try again maybe or at least hand out to folks who want auto flowers. Also threw some Petrolia Headstash males in that went auto so I'll have a few f1s also.

Wondering if the resulting seeds might produce some plants that won't auto. If I find said plants and cross them will their offspring be even less likely to auto? Could someone eliminate this trait altogether?

Work with the plants that don't show the auto trait. When breeding autos to regular strains usually the F1's won't show auto traits. Not saying it isn't possible to have autos in your F1 just not likely

Good question. I suppose you could hunt those F1's and find one that doesnt auto. Then find the ones that dont auto in that offspring and BX that to the original "mom" that doesnt auto. I'd guess you could eventually run most of the ruderalis out of it if you kept doing this til you found a version that meets your expectations. I dont think you would be able to "eliminate this trait altogether" to make a cross that isnt at least "slightly" prone to have certain auto traits though. Kinda like working a line that tosses some nanners. That trait can be worked, but will always be there waiting to show when just the right conditions are given (or not given). Some speculation on my part so Im curious to see others input on this.

Thanks that's kind of what I'm thinking...just wondering if someone has done it or knows for sure.

I never intended to grow out or even purchase autos. The Real Seed Company didn't have them labeled property on their website or on seedsman. So I kind of got stuck growing them and just threw them into a shagg tent. Might as well get something from them. Figure I'll hand out all the seeds to people who want autos.

Just curious if it would ever be worth screwing with this. Cool genetics in the Sinai plants (and the Petrolia Headstash) so it should be a fun plant to grow for others that want autos. Thanks for the input. One day I'll grow a few out to see what happens but probably not in the next couple years.

I thought I remember @whitebb2727 talking about breeding ruderalis out of a cross between an auto and a photo? He might be able to shed some light on the subject.

Ya, I was thinking there has to be some percentage of traits passed since so close to original parents.

It depends on the percentage in the auto I suppose it might even matter the gender I would go to auto flower. Net that's what those people grow mostly and I do remember a thread on the subject but if like most species at most the auto flower trait would be on the recessive side

That said you could go to Dutch passion and ask them in the comments section of one of their auto strains and ask what if . Those dudes are the Nature Boy Ric Flairs of Auto Flowers

The 2 sweet Dixies are up in grand fashion, the biggest one on the bottom is a super slow Oran Jones. 20190205_195237.jpg
The small Oran Jones above and these two twisted mutants below will be culled most likely and the normal looking one in the middle will survive.

Also all 3 mendo x bubba and tangerine power seeds popped and are in rock wool. Should find some more orange terps with the Oran Jones, sweet dixie and tangerine power going.
