I remember seeing a few times in the past about people asking if a seed from an Auto is also an auto. Just wondering if anyone tried it and if it worked out or not.

Did anyone figure this out yet?

A seed from an auto is only an auto if the pollen to create it was also from an auto.
If it's just a rodelized seed, it's very likely not going to be "day neutral" but will very likely be feminized.

Even then it may not be full auto..
For example you can s1 an auto out of a pack of seeds and use that pollen on a sister that you popped a couple of weeks later but it wont necessarily give you fem autos, fems yes just not all autos..

You’d possibly have to keep working it. Pollinating with auto pollen & test until you no longer have mixed photos straggling around in your harvested seeds.

I never said anything about reversed pollen, i said pollen, as in, standard breeding. But yeah you're probably right about that

My loose understanding of auto breeding, THIS is basically the right answer, as most autos you get your hands on are like F4, F5 or greater. People talk a lot of shit, but autos have a lot of work and love put into them.

Thanks guys. I grew 2 feminized auto's in a small greenhouse and I found a seed or two in each of them. I have no idea where the pollen came from, but had 4 other feminized plants in the same area except that they were outside in the ground within 50 ft. or so. Thank you for the replies.

As I understand it, this is how it works. An auto has two recessive genes for autoflowerin (aa), a photo has two dominant genes for photperiod (AA). The photo gene is dominant, and from what I’ve read, the auto/photo gene is an all or nothing gene, not graded, like skin color. So if you cross an auto (which is aa) with a photo AA, you will get photos every time (Aa, or aA). If you then breed those offspring you have a 1 in 4 chance of getting an auto , the possible combinations are Aa, aA, AA, or aa, only aa will express autoflowering. Caveat: I took genetic a while ago!
I just had two volunteer plants come up in some soil I used for my last grow, all the plants were fem autos but one had a bad case of nanners so it got moved outside, the seeds are from that plant, and should be fem autos.
