K2, Yeah her expecting nothing would be a mis conception on my part. The fun stuff is a givin, but my lady is pretty low on the matenence scale.. She rides horses comes shooting with me, lets me grow and smokes with me.. What more can a man ask for?Bh.

Sounds like a match made in heaven!!! I myself and pretty low maintenance also...Doesn't take much to make me happy. Set me on the couch with a cold one, pass me that fatty and then some mind blowing sex!!!! Now is that to much to ask for???? lol

Someone that makes a stunning cross..but doesn't understand the Auto side.

i did see them and you are right, the breeder did a fantastic job at selection, but the auto side is hit and miss. I think that if the auto side was more understood the crosses would have had the trait as well.
I think that when it came to selection the mind set of certain traits clouded judgement on auto selection.

so to move away from that Size..would in theory move you away from the ruddy..and any of it bad traits...

That being said..I think that we have already moved away from it...
and I don't mean just my girls..

I mean as I look around..I think all the breeders have..

i have to agree 100% on this. When i look around i see that the traits of the rudy are really not there any longer, and like you said its not just your girls either. Its all the crosses out there really. This is why i am led to believe that we have so call altered the genetic gene pool of autos. You spoke of a greedy eye when it comes to breeders, this eye has allowed us to move far away from the rudy traits and bring in the beneficial one, the AF trait.

This is why i am led to believe that they are now carrying the same ability to breed via recessive traits so to speak. I think that there may have been some sort of genetic "hook up" as the auto trait is recessive as well. I think that with isolation of the Auto trait we have somehow also brought over the ability to bring out the most in them with in their own gene pool not having to do non-af to af rolls. Mind you that will always be a point of interest, bringing in a new variety. But to be able to make a new potent hyb by just using the already available strains would mean a whole new thing to the world of autos.

Gonna be watching your Live experiment with interest.

Glad to hear it my friend and it will be an honor. I know there is some coaching i am going to need and an ear to bug

and I have my money on you..because I know you have an eye for the fine trait detail.

Thank you my friend i appreciate that, The only reason though is because i had test after test

ALF#3 was MADE to take the DC.
IMO..it worked.

I think i am going to have to agree here with you. I think that it did more than work my friend it was like the missing link to the DC. The traits passed so well through to the AF version, it really looks like the long season girls in a mini frame with the blessing of the AF trait. Its as almost if you were in TH's head while he was breeding it. Hands down has always been my fav, i love the big fat monster fans, true sign of a hearty indica

I hope one day i can pull something like this off.

Damn...I wonder who has the 11's............ ......mmmmm.......

I bet i know who.......

Glad to hear it I love the PJ's ive got three going right now too.

the pups are doing better both have open eyes and are eating well seems that all the karma you guys have sent has worked great. Good people good vibes.

And the late Great Roxi RIP

I have mentioned this in the past but would like to know still ....

is there anyone out there following the thread that has used it as a guide to their first grow?
Reason i ask is am putting together a book on this subject and i want to know how beneficial you found the info.

Things like what has it helped you improve/avoid. Things like that, any in put would be great.

She was a pretty girl FD. I am sure she will be missed. The lighter pup is cute with it's little tongue sticking out.

I have relied on this thread for my first run with autos. Highlighting the different needs of autos from photo strains helps along with the ability to search though so many different grows and methods. As far as putting it in book, Mossy's K.I.S.S. posts would work well in print. There is also the fact that they are great for beginners. I think a lot more people would do it if they knew the benefits of choosing autos. You should think about a chapter introducing the noob to the convenience and simplicity of growing auto.

Mama was beautiful.....so sorry she didn't make it.

Puppies are just as cute as a button....I just want to love on them!!!! Glad they are doing well...they are fighters!!!!

i have also followed this thread and taken the advice i was given or recommened to do with my current grow and things have turned out quite well. I have also used the pics from this thread as a comparison to what mine may look like. This thread has been very informative regarding different methods to use regarding soil, nutes and even watering. All the people here are wonderful and actually very helpful, not discouraging or rude, thanks again EVERYONE for the feedback, comments and helpful posts. I am a true believer in autoflowering plants and plan to keep a few in every grow i attempt.

what breed are the pups? they are so cute!!

Glad to hear that b.R. and that was the goal of this thread. I have been working on a book and i have been compiling info as well as testing. Its all been in the name of the plants as well as the book. To get the info not only to you guys but to people that dont know about this kind of community

I'd have to agree with this... my first auto grow... without you guys I'd have run the usual full nutes and found out the hard way.... nute BBQ! So, although I'm farily experienced growing... I was a noob to autos....

So thanks FD for starting the thread to everyone for their help / advice!


oh and FD, the pups are really sweet m8... glad they're makin it for ya.
