2 auto grow and I'm so done with them

OldMedUser · Oct 31, 2016

Sounds like they sold you some F1 beans like the ones I'm growing out now but I know they are F1s because I made the cross between an auto and my fave photo. The auto is Purple Jem, (Mazar x LowRyder) and the photo is a cross I did years ago, (Kali Mist x NL#5). I sprouted 6 back in June and two were males that both flowered around 6 weeks under 20/4 light. The girls have more flowers on them than just what pre-flowers should be but haven't gone full bloom so I'm going to 12/12 them and cross all 4 with pollen from both the males.

Hopefully when those beans, F2s, get grown out that the majority of females will autoflower too. Then I have to do some more research about how to proceed to further work with them to get the best of the cross stable.

I'm going to be sprouting a lot more of the F1s very soon but they are going 5 - 8 to a 2gal pot to be grown SoG style just to get a quick crop in the new year. Any that really perform will get a bit of the same pollen and those beans added to the other F2s to increase chances of finding the "one".

Anyway F1s are unstable and some will be stronger in the traits of one parent or the other while about half will have a blend of both tho those will not all have the same genes either.

:peace:

Yeah I get what you mean about f1 being unstable the same way an f2 will be more stable and an f3 more stable again and so on but for a large company to be selling f1 seeds is a disgrace I paid around £30 for autos that aren't autos but have stopped growing since the stretch is just a joke

Have you contacted the company you got them from?

I've only bought beans once at the Vancouver Seed Bank years ago. Bought an auto called Early Wonder Skunk to get into those and half the girls went hermie. I walked in and paid cash so they had no record of me and 6 months later when I called to bitch they sent me out some LowRyder as that's all they had at that time in autos. 4 days later I had the beans so I was happy with the response tho still pissed that I wasted all that time growing hermies.

Sometimes the squeaky wheel gets the grease.

Thanks for the advice I'll get in touch with them

F1 auto photo crosses rarely produce any autos. The first to show will be an F2 male

And Mossy created Purple Jem in a joint project with Joint doctor. And if your him, my understanding is she was never payed for her genetics...........

I ain't no Joint Doctor and the beans were gifted to me. Nice buzz off those so that's why I'm using them to cross with my photo strain.

There are lots of dark stories about who ripped off who in the cannabis world just like every other profitable enterprise on the planet so props to Mossy and boo to the Joint Doctor I guess.

:peace:
