Yeah, you could say I'm not fond of them, but I haven't run any autos for maybe a decade. But the past 3 years have shown me that normal plants don't finish out there. I've still got 3 big pots and plenty of soil, and the seeds were cheap inexpensive at 5 for $29.00, so maybe they'll be entertaining. If they get cracked by first of May they should be done end of July.
So .... what kind of seed would result if they were hit w/ normal or reg pollen - do you know?
I've had some bad Auto's over the years. I could start back more than 10 years ago with my homegrown that I used to grow, it would produce an occasional plant that would be autoflower. They weren't ever good plants. I'm guessing something like that is where the auto breeders started. I do have S1 seeds from one of those plants and was going to play with it this year but 0/3 germinated. I usually grow a few every year just to make a few seed but they're never very predictable seed, lots of mutants. Haven't bother with them in a couple years.
I've grown some Auto's from Twenty20 and Mephisto's. They're fun to grow, the end product hasn't always been good. But I have had a couple good plants. I have touched some pollen to a couple and have some seeds but haven't really explored them. Had a Livers Bx1 from Mephisto that I put some reg pollen to. Grew out 1 plant in my veg tent. I just chopped it 2 days ago. It ran in my veg tent for over 110 days, then another week in a reg flower setting with 12 hours. It turned out pretty decent looking. I have 3 more of those as seedlings that I want to put outside soon. If they go 120 days like the other, they should be done in August sometime, maybe early September, which is perfect for my neck of the woods.
Did grow another one of my auto crosses a Trizzlers (Twenty20) x Sunshine #4 but it was a male and seemed to be a photo if I remember correctly, seemed like I eventually put it in the flower tent before I chopped it.
I'm certainly not expecting weed like Lemon Dosidope or Grapesmacs. Never had top shelf Auto flower. Is it possible? I have no idea. I like to play around, why not, maybe I'll get lucky and make something I like that finishes in late August, that would be ideal.
I'll try and grab a decent pic of that Livers cross I just chopped.
