male autoflowering? grapetreat X sm

[GriM]

boy this boy is doing his thing under 24/0 vegging would this be called a autoflower or is this normal? and any ideas on what whould the result be in crossing it back to one of the females could this trait be passed onto the future females?..hmmmmm so meny "?"'s to this new guy to keeping the lil boys alive ...lol

Keep it and experiment.
Maybe you could come up with a NoRyder Strain!
LOL!!!!

When I'm collecting pollen, I go Ala Slater.
I take a piece of paper and cut a slit in it, then I slip this around the base of the plant, with the stem going into the slit in the paper, then I cover it with a plastic bag. Once a day, I take the plant out of the room and let some fresh air into the bag until enough pollen drops. Then I fold up the paper and put it into a plastic bag and pop it into the freezer until it's needed.

Yeah I would start some LR's if you have them. That would give someone a good boost on making it an AF'ing strain.

or it might just breed male dominant seeds. I like early flowering females, the early males I kill usualy. Just my way of things.

Thanks for sharing Grim.

well ill tell ya grim i didnt have any autoflowering in the grape treat originals i had but they were very light sensitive18 hours of light and they were flowering. grape treat mom is revegging under 24 atm fianally and will be my early strain this season. with this cut put out in may should have meds by august...woohoo....this is all i have left of this strain one lonely revegged bud and will be keeping her around for some time to come. maybe come up with another fine cross or start some santa marias and do it all over again...waiting for the final results to come in on this cross first. no signs of hermy+, early flowering+, big buds+,+++=a+ here

[GriM]

have never had the lights out on this run not one minute :) i do think i am going to try making a seed run on them and see what happens ....

I've had a few males a/f when i was growing hydro. I read that the males are more prone to autoflowering, and its a sign of the trait being present in the strain.

i would say yes fer sure somewheres in its journey.

Use some of the pollen on your best female. Grow out your F1s, pick the best female and pollenize her with the remaining pollen. OK, so it's incestuous :eek: , but it will give you the best chance of fixing the trait. I'll be looking for any autoflowering traits in mine.

[slater]

i dont like af strains myself so i would cull the male. but differnt strokes...differnt folks

[pflover]

i think it is way more common for boys to autoflower. not sure they are best to use for future breeding tho unless you are specifically after the auto trait. there are reports that ingeneral autoflowering males produce more hermies and less potent offspring, but that might just be myth, donno.

[S_a_H]

Yes all of the pure Lowryder and all its crossed with that AF'd males always showed first. I guess we are just pushy as a sex in general huh ?

[GriM]

well the lil guy did autoflower under 24/7 .. now guess what i have one female in flower and one still under 24/7 and yup its flowering looks like the a lil autoflower in the woodpile ;) might make a nice LR cross will try it out as soon as i get my LR's i won here ........

[Yrekagrow]

not only do boys auto flower more commonly, thay show preflowers sooner too...
