Big Bomb Auto Crossed With Photo GDP Male Pollen?

So I grew out a couple of autos seeds I had lying around this year outside. One is Big Bomb by Bomb Seeds and the other two are called MSG (Mendocino Skunk Garlic) by 20/20. I have a bunch of pollen I had collected from a really nice Grand Daddy Purple male plant I grew back in around 2014. Ive made many crosses with this pollen over the years with other photoperiod plants and many of the crosses are just straight fire. The GDP genes add a super thick layer of frost, larger yield and the smells vary widely.

Anyways my question is what will the cross look like when I use the photoperiod GDP pollen on the Automatics I have? Will the result be some that are auto and some that are not with tastes and smells of each parent? I am quite excited to see what could come of this. Maybe some super auto, who knows. It will be interesting.

Also off topic but is there such thing as a pollen bank? We have plenty of seed banks but what about a pollen bank for breeders? Just something I was thinking about.

Last thing if you have any pictures of your own crosses lets see them and tell me what they are. I'll be posting pics of these once I start growing them out. I cant wait.IMG_20230616_095849147_HDR.jpg

So I just read this somewhere from an old forum post, can anyone verify this is true?

photo to auto cross all your f1’s will be photoperiods
its only in your second generation aka f2’s where 25% will express the auto trait, as its a recessive gene.
Now if crossing auto to auto, then the results will obviously be an auto.
fast version photoperiods are just those f1’s of the “photo x auto” cross, or subsequent generations that don’t have the auto flowering trait. Its just the autoflowering trait can but “not always” reduce flowering times

Sounds legit.

Sounds about right. You may have the odd auto on the first run. 2014 pollen eh? How are you storing it?

Thats what I was thinking too. The pollen Ive kept in a little plastic vial with a pop top inside a glass jar, inside a chest freezer. Pollen is still good because pollen looks like its taking on that branch. I believe pollen will stay good for a super long time if frozen.IMG_20230618_164849190.jpg
