They are doing the first snow survey of the year today. The DWR uses that info to project runoff and water allocations to farmers this summer. The snowpack is our largest reservoir. The final survey of the year is done in April. The largest lakes are at 125% of historical average so they are doing good at the moment. We have a small storm coming through tomorrow to add to the totals. Hopefully the storm door doesn't shut totally like it has in the past.
Mornin.

I recently browsed a forum that was strictly about Auto flowers. I was really curious about the same question that you ponder. What happens when you cross a regular photoperiod with an auto? Well, depending on the plants that are being crossed, its a pretty complex selection process that requires in some cases going through 100s of seeds in order to find the auto version of the regular photo parent. The thread below is worth reading. The grower made F1 seeds (Photo x Auto), and no autos were found in the F1 generation. He found the autos in the F2 generation.

How I made a Freakshow autoflower.

Hi guys, I've been keeping logs of turning a Freakshow into an autoflower on YT. My channel is under the same name as here "Pollen Sax". I have a friend who bought some F9's from 7 East Genetics, and I sent him one of my auto crosses, a Fastbud's Gorilla Cookies x Royal Queen Seeds' Green Gelato...

Are you certain that freaky leaf trait is common in those two strains? I would definitely be interested in breeding with that macaroon, and isolate that leaf trait. It has a really cool pattern.

I've grown the macaroon x gazurple twice. Both times it had the weird leaf mutation. I've grown the gazurple once and it has the same mutation, not as pronounced. Supposedly the gazurple has macaroon in its lineage so l'm not sure if it's the Macaroon or the Gazurple that causes this.

Can confirm. Did this with both Jack Herer auto and Mexican airlines auto to AK47 regular male. F1s grew as a consistent hybrid of the two - producing an early finishing plant outdoors. When taken to F2, that's when the variations came about - producing some auto flowering plants that were between 10" and 4' tall - as well as some ten footers that finished later. Had a burnt rubber and juicy fruit pheno that smelled cool but lackluster attributes otherwise.

Here's three of the 60 plants grown at F2. All different heights and at different stages of flowering. The top of the post is 12'.

Odd looking airy buds.
