auto flowering

I plan on getting a pack of auto flowering mix seed. Would like to get some seed from them so I can keep growing them. Do you think it would be better to keep pollen from one of the male or use gibberellic acid and use pollen from the same plant. I am affraid if i use pollen from a male it will be as good as what I start with??? Don't want it to be worse then what i start out with!! Thanx for your help

You could just grow them all out as mothers, and then clone them... Much easier than seed, plus you only have to really wait for 1 vegetative cycle, and cut clones ready to flower (after they root of course).

Plus you will know exactly how each plant grows, don't have to worry about varying phenotypes, poor genetics, and the other crap that goes into breeding. You will end up with a very consistent crop using clones, and just keeping the mother plants as you wish.

I know i'm just a newbie, but GrowTech I thought you cant successfully clone and keep Auto flowering strains...

The genetics tell the plant when to flower not the light cycle, so you can't keep them as mothers...

(Maybe you just did'nt see the "auto flowering" in bonze first thread)

Save one male to flower and collect the pollen. Pollinate at least one lady when she flowers. It's as simple as that. The only way a plant can self-pollinate is to be a hermaphrodite and you do not want to produce seeds with hermie characteristics if you can help it.

If the male and female are of the same strain, it is not an issue.

Good luck and good growing.
