Do I have an Autoflower or a Photo?

I crossed Purple Lemonade Auto from FastBuds (mother, obviously), with a Regular Photoperiod Male, Oregon Purple Thai (father).

Is this still an auto most of the time?
It will be a regular seed and not a feminized one, right?

I did this by accident, actually; hence I don't know up from down. Sorry, and thanks in advance for your help.

Let us know how it runs.

I will for sure!

Many of the seeds were pretty immature looking, but I have one in the paper towel right now with its tail out. Hence I'm trying to clarify what it will be (Auto or Photo) because I pot my Autos in their final container, and I pot my photos into 1/2 gallon plastic pots and transplant later... and I don't know which way to turn.

its a little bit harder to get a auto maybe 1 in 4 seeds will be auto seeds.
and yes regular since it was polinated with a real male

Fast Version seeds are those which have a shorter flowering period, usually a week or two shorter (compared to the original strain). This type of strain comes from a cross between feminized, elite light-dependent strains and an autoflowering plant.

The next result would be 20- 25% Autoflower trait and roughly 75% photoperiod. You'd want to grow them out and cross 2 that autoflower. Then you're 100% Auto.

P1 Photo x P1 Auto = F1 photo (recessive auto)
F1 photo x f1 photo = F2 75% photo, 25% Auto
F2 Auto x F2 Auto = F3 100% Auto

F1 will be your all photo cross, but may flower faster and pick up the auto traits. F3 and higher will be all auto. Know that autoflower traits are recessive and need some work to express from a photo parent.

However you can cross auto x auto - which i tend to do with a 2 cup method. I pick to known autos - grow in solo cups under 12/12 - i pick one to spray cs / sts to make fem pollen sacs with other moving into an early flower. Then i use pollen plant to pollinate the early flowering one to grow seeds.

Then i toss “ pollen “ plant. Other cup will move to seed out ( 6 weeks + or - ) - harvest seeds , toss cup.
