New to the forum, first post.

Simply had to reply and say that this thread is great, very informative. Gonna be trying some lowlife auto ak47 feminised in a greenhouse, starting in the next couple of weeks. It'l be my first grow, looking forward to posting pics and getting some more, personalized, hints and tips.

Keep up the good work peeps!

Attitudes next promo is nice, 3 new auto strains from Nirvana. Jock Horror, Bubblicious, and Northernlights autos. Sigh, Im not getting in on this one, but its a sweet deal as usual. I just have such a selection to go through right now, maybe once I get through some of these I will get more. In a few years. lmao I went a bit crazy buying seeds there for a little while, but I dont mind because it give me a nice selection. I just wish every company offered their seeds as singles like pyramid and advanced seeds do. Then I wouldnt have to get a 3 or 5 pack of something just to try it.
WOW!!! Great timing. A friend agreed to set up our new grow in his basement, and this is perfect timing and delightful news. :leaf:

Id say breed the male to the biggest female. Unless theres something you like that you see in the others. Keep him far away or collect his sacs just before they open and kill him.

And as far as breeding Ive been thinking about how alot of strains are regular photo plants bred with lowryder (like auto ak). That might be the one to use for crossing with photoperiod plants since its the original. Think its a crapshoot tho, probably have to do alot of generations to get it down man.

Businessman, if he wants the plants pollinated what is the purpose of having the male separated from the females? I kept mine with the females, and have picked over 100 mature seeds off of one diesel ryder. And its still growing, Im sure there will be plenty more when its dried, cured and broken up. After the 3rd week of flowering there really isnt any purpose for pollen because you want your plant impregnated at that point, that way the seeds have time to mature. So at that point, ditch the male. You can pollinate further in, if you have the patience to wait the extra time for the seeds to mature, which is what I did, well am still doing. But the plant will eventually die off, so just take it before it actually does die. And you should have not only collected seeds off of the plant, but will be collecting them after you harvest as well. Dont forget to look around on your soil when they are mature, they will fall out on their own.

Most of the autos I grew showed sex in around 10 days
My Big Devil showed around day 14, wow day 10, thats fast. Were they little runts or did they get to a decent size? ( I consider a decent size for autos about 14-20 inches, above that is a large auto, imo.) Smaller is a runt.

Jock Horror, Bubblicious, and Northernlights autos. These are legit?
I would think so, they are from Nirvana, a good seed company, Im sure it has its haters too, like any other. But I have seen a lot of great shit come from Nirvana, so I would have to say yes they are legit, but until someone grows them out, who really knows? All I know is that they picked 3 of their best to breed and make autos with.

Im gonna make seeds, but I just want like 100 tops, I dont want 5 plants completely seeded with thousands of seeds. Im gonna put my male around the side of the house, and collect pollen to hand pollinate one branch.

i kno soweone will have already asked this but iu cant find it so

how can you tell if a plant is male or female and are feminised seeds 100% female?

i currently have 3 fem autoflowering tiagas and think there female but aint sure
 
There is one that I know of. Lowryder #1. crossed by breeders at Lowryder.
Yea thats right - Lowryders are good all round plants - very hardy and easy to grow. Doin a grow right now with them!!
Also, another one of the grows im doing is with the new Big Buddha Automatic, which is also a cross of Northern Lights X Mexican Ruderalis X Bonkers - I haven't grown this strain before but should be a good one - I'll let you know!!

Peace

yo man far as i know feminised seeds are 100% female. wait untill the plants are clearly FLOWERING and then its pretty obv what sex they are. just look at a few posts on difference between Male and Female plant written by knowledgable ppl here and you'll easily be able to tell

Feminized seed, as I have learned do not guarantee female plants. Just a better chance maybe but not guaranteed.

I have twice in the past, Nirvana Purple Power Plant and also Nirvana Pure Power. I got 5 Fem seeds of each. 2 of the purple

Powers ended up male, one of the pure powers ended up male. Just kept my seed supply going on those strains, but I learned

that they are not guaranteed to produce a female.
